Wee Can Sign
Long before they can speak, babies and toddlers can communicate using their hands! 
Babies (some as young as 8 months of age) can show you what they are thinking about using American Sign Language.  Come learn this early, effective form of communication which has proven to reduce frustration, increase vocabulary and enhance the parent/child bond.
Available are:
Presentations for parents with young children, ages birth - 3 years.
Four week "Wee Can Sign" classes for babies and toddlers, ages birth - 2 years.
