Glusburn Institute, which is hosting baby sign language classes
TODDLE up and Sign is the name of a baby sign language class beginning this Saturday (April 29) at Glusburn Institute.
Parents are invited to sign up for the six weeks of sessions at the arts and community centre running each Saturday at 10am.
The class will use British Sign Language alongside nursery rhymes, songs and stories to teach babies and toddlers an additional form of communication.
Baby Sign Language is focused on enhancing communication between parents and babies by teaching baby’s simple signs they can use before they can talk.
The tutor, Liz Enser, has worked in the Deaf Community for more than 10 years and her own baby learned sign language alongside a speech.
