Baby Signs curriculum
Early communication for infants
Language development is a defining moment in a child’s academic journey. When babies can express their needs as young as 3 months old, it limits their frustration, builds confidence and lays the foundation for language development. The Baby Signs curriculum in our Infant program is founded in scientific research. Our educators take the 10 fundamental signs and layer on additional words each month to increase their breadth of understanding. By the end of the program, infants will be exposed to 15 essential signs.
Studies have shown that when children utilize Baby Signs with verbal queues, they learn to speak earlier.
