Coming Soon- Baby Sign Language Basics Curriculum!
Teachers the world over have been asking to purchase my curriculum for years. It’s been on my list of things to do, but until I can clone myself, I need to tackle one project at a time.
Finally, curriculum for baby sign language teachers has come to the top of the list!
The Baby Sign Language Basics Curriculum will feature:
- Sign, Sing, and Play Parent-Child Curriculum- 6 months worth of weekly classes, offered in 6-week sessions, so when students ask, “will it just be the same class we already took?” your answer can virtually always be, “Nope! It’s a whole new class!” This is an ideal program to offer at anyplace that hosts children’s classes.
- Baby Sign Language Basics Parent Workshop Curriculum- A 2-hour workshop for new and expectant parents, ideal for prenatal programs at hospitals and birthing centers.
- Sign-a-Story Circle Time Curriculum- 30 minute curriculum ideal for library storytimes!
All of this curriculum will feature original and traditional children’s music performed by Songs for Little Hands artist, Susan Z! And of course you will have our wonderful professionally published books, flash cards, music CD’s and other home support materials to either include in the price of a class or sell in class to make extra income!
If you are interested in staying in the loop as this project progresses, post your interest here!
Happy New Year!

This funky, casual, coffee house

Rebecca’s Coffee House(across from Baby Garten)
3015 Juniper Street in South Park
San Diego, CA 92102
Please bring babies in slings and carriers rather than strollers if possible. Strollers will need to be left outside, because while this is a big roomy place, we always have a packed house! Anyway, your baby loves it when you dance and bounce with him/ her in the carrier or sling, and the toddlers and preschoolers love to dance!: )
