SmallTalk Academy is proud to have several unique qualities that set us apart from the crowd!

Our classes are based on Dr. Joseph Garcia's award-winning ASL program as well as your child's interests. Our classes are creative, educational and interactive for all! Our philosophy is to help you develop a strong foundation for second language learning and to encourage rich communication from an early age.
