Early Childhood Educator Training

Service Description

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. This educator training incorporates how teachers can use the Baby Signs® Program to address the areas of cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and language development within their current curriculum. Additionally, 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. Fees vary depending on site, number of participants, length of training. Additional classroom support materials are available.
