The language component is complemented by adaptive sign language techniques and the use of a puppet model. Classes comprise of familiar and original songs, musical instruments, movement and music activities, and color identification, all to enhance fine/gross motor skills and parent-child bonding. All classes end with bubbles! Through guided play and interaction the parent-child bond comes naturally in this setting, as the child develops security and confidence in the world around them, along with support of their parent/guardian. We also believe that children learn best by repetition, so our classes will be similar week to week so that children gain confidence and security in knowing what to expect next!
