"We took Baby Sign Level 1 (and are really looking forward to Level 2!) when my son was about 9 months old. He is almost 17 months old now and has been able to let us know what he needs by signing for some time now. He signs "more", "milk", "water", "cat", "apple", "sing", "all done", "bath", "bird" and just the other day he signed "wet" to let me know his diaper needed changing! It is so exciting when he uses a new sign! My husband really likes that he, too, can understand what our son needs and uses signing with him as well. I babysit another 17 month old who also was in Level 1 and it has been so beneficial and helpoful to my childcare to be able to incorporate signing in our day.

We loved Ashlea's enthusiasm and the way her classes were structured...lots of singing and playing designed to teach us the signs! Take a class from SmallTalk Academy! You will be so glad you did!"
