What your child’s day will look like

Stop guessing what your baby is trying to tell you and start spending more time fulfilling your child's specific needs. Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with children long before babies can verbalize their wants and needs. Research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration and aggressive behavior, and as children mature, results in a greater interest in reading. Out of all the wonderful benefits of baby sign language, the most important benefit of all is that signing will greatly deepen the bond between you and your child. Important Details: Must reserve in advance Geared towards expecting parents and parents with children aged newborn - 18m Class is non-refundable. Makeups may be issued with advance notice at Recess' discretion. Cost: $38/family *******In response to the guidance from the Health Department and Center for Disease Control (CDC) regarding COVID-19, we are cancelling/postponing all non-essential programs and services effective immediately******* The good news is that Bill, our instructor, for Baby Sign Language on 3/20 will be running the baby sign language classes live online. His online classes are just as engaging and interactive as the brick and mortar sessions. So the show goes on! It will be a great opportunity to connect with other families and a nice diversion from the news and anxiety associated with everything going on right now. We'll use Zoom to connect.

    We paid for 3 sessions and 2 were cancelled. I don’t think we got a refund. The one class was great though

    I could go on and on about how great it was but you can just assume that we loved the group and I will just list a couple of constructive thoughts here – There was a knitting group at the bottom of the stairs during one of our circles and the sound amplifies up the stairs super loud. I actually think most people didn't mind, but I'm not able to tune out background noise so I basically couldn't focus at all on what everyone in our group was saying! When groups get above probably 8 people I personally get really shy and the dynamic changes for me. I don't know if it's realistic or sustainable or even a good thing for most, but smaller groups or sub-groups are much better for someone like me. Our second group was really focused on birth plans (or whatever I'm supposed to call them). My wife and I had a couple of fairly late miscarriages after which our only "plan" was to have a baby. So we got less out of that group than the first one. Probably the exact opposite for many parents, but just to share our perspective! I'm absolutely nit-picking. Space is great. Instructor incredible. Tons of warm support. Zero judgement. Would recommend to anyone.
