City Offers Baby Sign Language Classes in 2015

Posted by Staff | @CorridorNews | @Corridor_Sports

Increase Family Communication

The Signing Connection and City of San Marcos Parks and Recreation are continuing to offer weekly Baby Sign and Play classes in 2015 beginning Jan. 7. The classes are held Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. for $7 per child at the San Marcos Activity Center, 501 E. Hopkins Street. Parents accompanying a child attend at no cost.

Children ages 0-5 years old and their families are invited to come learn basic sign language and provide the family with a new way to verbalize wants, needs, and daily communication. The classes will focus on a different topic each week.

The Signing Connection’s Amy Joines will lead the class and is certified through Signing Time Academy as a baby sign language instructor. She was awarded instructor of the year from the Signing Time Academy in 2013. More information about her business can be found at www.thesigningconnection.com

Participants may sign up by visiting http://recconnect.sanmarcostx.gov, by calling 512.393.8280 or in person at the San Marcos Activity Center.
