Fun and Sign 3 Week Course at Rubys

Fun & Sign is a method of communicating with your baby before they are capable of speech. Our 3 week Fun & Sign Course is a continuation from the workshop we recently held and the cost is £30, this includes refreshments, tuition, online signing pack and a link to download some of the songs we use in the session. Each session lasts 90 minutes and we have a flexible arrival time window of 30 minutes where we serve toast and refreshments giving you time to arrive at your leisure and socialise with other families before the class starts. This course is aimed at all ages (as we are teaching you the adults the signs) but we keep it fun for the babies and toddlers with our own unique style of teaching - after all, My Babytime presenters are also entertainers and there's no better way to learn that through play and having fun. At the end of the course we will have recapped the basic signs and the ones demonstrated at the workshop and also covered, more animals, colours, family, weather and other early years signs you would use on a day to day basis. Fun & Sign is based on British Sign Language and the course incorporates signs, rhymes, role play, parachute play and sensory play. With regular signing, not only will your infant learn a valuable communication skill, they will be having lots of fun interacting with other infants too. Signing opens a window into your infant's mind and personality it also allows your infant to clearly communicate specific thoughts before they have developed the oral skills to articulate them, reducing frustration for your infant – and also for you! Signing won’t delay verbal language development – in fact, it may accelerate it as research shows that infants who sign usually start to talk sooner and develop larger vocabularies than non-signing infants. Signing infants often have a higher IQ than non-signing infants and tend to be more interested in books which we also incorporate into our signing sessions.
