Baby Signs® Program Early Childhood Educator Training
The Baby Signs® Program Early Childhood Educator Training gives caregivers the ability to identify needs, wants, and feelings of children before the children have developed the skills necessary for verbal communication. These workshops are based on the work of Dr. Linda Acredolo and Dr. Susan Goodwyn, authors of the best-selling book, BABY SIGNS: How to Talk with Your Baby Before Your Baby Can Talk, and is supported by 20 years of research.
A Certified Instructor will come to your center to present the training and teach caregivers how to use the resource materials. There are 3 levels of training to choose from and all of them incorporate how teachers can use the Baby Signs® Program to address the areas of cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and language development within their current curriculum.
Your staff will learn the WHAT, WHY, WHEN, and HOW of the Baby Signs® Program. Teachers will learn about the research which supports teaching babies to sign, why it works, when to start, and how to choose and teach signs.

- Beebo™ the Baby Signs® Bear
