Happy Family Sign Time
Happy Family Sign Time is a live virtual program designed to help parents and young children communicate before and during early speech development through fun, engaging sessions that build real connection. Available virtually to fit your family's schedule.
350+ signs • Ages 0–6 • 30-minute sessions • Live on Zoom
Before children can speak, they can communicate.
Teaching simple signs reduces frustration, supports emotional expression, and strengthens the bond between you and your child. With consistent use, signing supports:
-
Language development: Signing builds vocabulary and phonological awareness alongside spoken language.
-
Emotional regulation: Signing gives children the words and gestures to express their feelings before speech matures.
-
Social connection: Meaningful communication from the earliest age deepens family bonds.
Our program meets your child exactly where they are — from infancy through toddler and preschool years.
0–6 months: Building the foundation — parents learn core signs. Babies absorb language through exposure, eye contact, and repetition — the groundwork is laid before you even realize it.
6–18 months: First signs emerge — babies begin signing back: milk, more, all done. Reduce frustration before speech develops and watch the connection deepen.
18 months–3 years: Language explodes — toddlers combine signs with words, building vocabulary, emotional skills, and confidence. Communication becomes a superpower.
3–6 years: Expressive communicators — preschoolers deepen their signing alongside growing speech, storytelling, and social skills.
