Imagine helping a baby communicate what she wants, what she needs, and even how she feels-well before she can talk.
Imagine parents' joy and appreciation of the strengthened bond with their baby, a baby's reduced frustration, and a baby's learning to talk sooner, all because you've taught them how easy it is to use simple signs to communicate with each other.
Imagine teaching a program that was even chosen by the United States Department of Defense in their initiative to help military families. Better yet, don't just imagine. You can make it happen by becoming a

The goal of this program is to help child care programs of any size-big or small-begin enjoying the benefits that come from incorporating signing into daily interactions between children and teachers. Training is provided either by a Certified Baby Signs Instructor or via a DVD-based program called the Center Certification Program. In either case, the training sessions last 2 to 3 hours--with games, songs, and activities liberally sprinkled throughout to keep teachers engaged and excited as they learn.
