Baby Sign Play Time and The Communicating Kids Course
Baby Sign Play Time
Baby Sign Play Time is a fun, 30-minute, outdoor, parent & toddler class filled with language enriching activities like story time, sign language, music, movement and teaching your child to communicate with you before they can talk!
Baby Sign Play Time is taught by a speech-language pathologist and uses American Sign Language.

The Communicating Kids Course
This five-week parent and toddler course, led by a speech-language pathologist, teaches simple, effective strategies to help your child grow their vocabulary, express their needs, and build confidence communicating.
Whether your child is just beginning to use words, learning to combine words, or would benefit from extra language support, this class provides practical tools to help communication grow.
During each class, toddlers participate in fun, play-based activities designed to support language development including:
Songs and music
Early literacy activities
Sensory play
Movement and gross motor play
Parents learn alongside their children and practice new language-building strategies during class, making it easier to use them naturally at home.
