Give your staff (or your child's day care provider) an edge. Workshops can teach your staff how to more easily communicate with your clients. Using signing in day care and preschool settings:
-
Reduces noise levels in the classrooms
-
Minimizes stress and frustration for childcare providers and infants
-
Significantly reduces problems with biting
-
Helps to illustrate the fact that the childcare facility actively participates in the child's development
-
Demonstrates your desire to keep your organization up-to-date and actively seeking to improve your services
-
Shows your clients and prospective clients that you use this and other innovative, valuable tools in your facility. You can be a pioneer of early communication in your industry!
- helps ease the inclusion of any special needs clients into the classroom, helping ALL other children learn signs in a fun way
I love working with childcares and preschools. My work there has always been rewarding for all involved, as described here. Some of my past work includes:
- staff inservice training
- post-training classroom visits to help apply what was learned
- parent presentations
- Sing & Sign music visits for 2yrs +
- Sign & Sign Story Time for 3yrs + (includes music and puppets)
- resource assessments and recommendations
