Baby Sign Language

 

Infants and toddlers in care are taught some baby sign language at Nicole's Tot-Time Daycare.  This allows the infants and toddlers to communicate their basic needs prior to verbal language.

The baby signs we use are (but not limited to):
more
hungry
thirsty
eat
drink
please
thank you
your welcome
all done

sit

There are many benefits to teaching baby sign language (ASL). Some are:

  • allows young infants to communicate prior to verbal language skills.

  • promotes language development

  • reduces frustration

  • increases speed of spatial reasoning development

  • creates feelings of satisfaction and accomplishment

  • increase in early literacy skills
