About
Stop guessing what your baby is trying to tell you. Baby Sign Language gives babies the opportunity to communicate long before they can verbalize their wants and needs. Signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration, enhances a child's self esteem, and deepens the bond between parent and child.
I am the founder of Happy Baby Signs and author of the book Signs of a Happy Baby. Happy Baby Signs has been providing baby sign language workshops around the greater Bay Area since 2005 and have taught more than 15,000 Bay Area parents how to sign with their babies. Locations include Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, Dignity Health, Stanford WorkLife, Sprout in San Francisco and Mill Valley, Blossom Birth Services, Harmony Birth and Family, Bay Area libraries, and more than 30 other locations. We also teach at your home and live online classes as well!
Our program is founded on more than three decades of evidence-based research and uses American Sign Language (ASL). Our classes are a fun-filled way to teach parents how to introduce sign language into their baby's everyday routines through songs and interactive activities. Our system yields incredible results where babies use more than 100 signs! Classes fill quickly so enroll early. You can start as soon as the baby arrives.
