Signing Time: Fun baby sign language classes at 2 Zürich locations

Benefits of baby sign language

Communicate in a whole new way

Babies use their hands to communicate before they speak. They can point and wave, so why not add to their vocabulary?

Using sign language can help your baby communicate their needs even before they can speak. For toddlers it can help ease some of those tantrums that come from not being able to express their needs and it’s a fun new skill for you to learn together. Learn a new way to communicate with your child and have fun while doing it! Learn over 70 signs in one semester, and enjoy bonding with your baby by singing fun songs together.

The class is recommended for kids from 4 months to 4 years old. If your child is younger or older, send me a message to see whether it might still be a good fit!

Course Contents

Baby Signing Time is divided into two 4-week courses.

Signing Time 1 covers basic signs such as food and family that will be most useful at home. I recommend you take this class first.

Signing Time 2 covers other useful signs such as clothes and transportation signs. If the scheduling works out better for you to take this class first, that’s fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

My child can already speak/has no trouble communicating. Is this class still for me?

Absolutely! While learning to use signs can definitely improve your child’s ability to communicate, it also adds another tool for them to use. Kids in my class who already speak with no problems still enjoy learning something new and are very proud of being able to reproduce the signs themselves.

Are the signs made up?

No, the class uses American Sign Language (ASL), which is a real language used by Deaf communities in the United States. While we do not cover grammar or the nuances of facial expressions that go with the language, the signs we use are real words.

I’m interested in the course, but the times don’t work for me.

Please get in touch to see if we can schedule an upcoming class that fits with your schedule!

About Baby Signing Time

Baby Signing Time was developed by Rachel Coleman in 2006. She found out that her own young daughter Leah was deaf and not only learned American Sign Language (ASL) herself, but taught Leah’s classmates and family so they could communicate with her. That turned into videos and songs to help children and their parents learn to communicate.

Baby Signing Time Classes are meant to be a fun way for parents to connect with their babies and meet other parents in the area. We will read stories and sing songs that will help us learn some signs. These basic signs can be used with your children at home to encourage communication.
