Babies are happiest when they can communicate with the people who love them the most – their families. Did you know that babies can actually understand spoken language before they are physically able to speak?
Signing is a tool that can be the key into your baby’s thoughts and the springboard for future language development. The benefits of using baby sign language range from increased bonding with the parent or caregiver to a positive impact on cognitive and verbal development.
Bring your baby and learn baby sign language together at the Crestview library, 1445 Commerce Drive! Baby sign in begins at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 31, and the 30-minute class starts at 10:15 a.m. Classes are limited to the first 30 children who sign in that day.
Older children are welcome. Call 682-4432 with any questions.
Heather Nitzel is the Crestview Public Library's youth services librarian.
