Baby Sing & Sign Classes

Ages 0–1.5 Years with a Grown-Up

Give your baby a voice before they can speak—through music, sign language, and moments that bring you closer.

Baby Sing & Sign class helps you connect with your baby through live music and baby sign language in a sensory-rich setting. It’s a beautifully fun and educational class that provides the opportunity to help build real communication before words arrive.

Through gentle movement, playful repetition, sensory exploration and shared experience, you'll foster emotional bonds, reduce frustration, and lay the foundation for your baby’s language and social development in a way that feels natural and joyful.
