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.

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.

Through games, stories, movement to music, and dramatic play, sign language is taught to encourage self expression, improve...
