Baby Fingers | Delivering Effective Sign Language Classes For ...
Baby Fingers offers a unique program in New York using Sign Language and Music Classes. With a combination of American Sign Language and music, we have developed a program to help build stronger communication between parents and their children all the while enhancing language skills and motivating speech development. This program was developed for hearing children and hearing parennts. However, children of all needs and abilities are welcome in our program. Music enhances language development, spatial reasoning skills, socialization, and motivation to communicate. Signing is rhythmic as is music, and the combination provides a natural means by which to practice and interact. Both signing and music aid in the ability to keep a steady beat; this skill has been linked to improved reading performance. Based on considerable research, Baby Fingers is designed to promote family communication while enhancing motivation to speak, increasing IQ, improving vocabulary and literacy skills, decreasing frustration, refining motor coordination and spatial reasoning skills. Sessions are year round; we offer "mommy & me" sign language, Music for Babies, Parties, Adult ASL, & more. Baby/Toddler ASL (also known as "Mommy & Me" classes) teaches you American Sign Language through songs and play with other parents and babies or toddlers. You can go home each week with new vocabulary and new tunes to enhance communication between you and your child. Whether you intend to incorporate sign language in your life for the long term or simply during this pre-verbal/developing verbal time, watch in awe as your baby or toddler discovers the world of language. Creative Play & Sign Classes (aka: Drama Sign) offer an opportunity for preschool and kindergarten children (ages two through six) to participate in an engaging, stimulating class designed to meet their developmental stages. Through games, stories, movement to music, and dramatic play, sign language is taught to encourage self expression, improve...
