Baby Signs for Infants and Toddlers
Over the past few weeks, we have been introducing American Sign Language to the children. We have started with the signs for more, thank you, and most recently, please. The use of sign language allows children who are not verbal to communicate their needs and wants to peers and adults. After seeing the sign for more twice, Nevaeh was able to use this sign independently when asking for more milk at lunch time. This demonstrated how quickly toddlers are able to grasp the concept and use it to communicate. We will continue utilizing these signs and add a few more additional signs in January. We encourage you to use the same signs at home to reinforce what we are learning at school. Using sign language allows children a head start in developing their language skills. If you would like more information about using sign language with your child, please see Ms. Lise or Ms. Pam.
Congratulations!

A special thanks to all parents who participated in our Fall Food Tasting Celebration. Thank you for a 100% participation in bringing a dish to share with families. The food was delicious!
Reminders
We want to continue keeping a healthy environment. Please remember to wash your hands and your childs hands upon entering the classroom. Please remember to bring in extra diapers and wipes for your child. Jewelry and hair accessories are a choking hazard to young children. Please refrain from dressing your child in accessories while at the center.
