Communication Junction

👋Say👋 to Reid, our ! She is 18 months old and started taking Sign+Play Classes at 5 months old.

Reid's Mom used to nanny for a family in sign classes and saw firsthand how much it helped them communicate their needs. She knew she wanted to do the same when she had kids.

When asked what her favorite part of CJ class is, her mom replied, ⤵️

"CJ has just truly been wonderful for our family! Reid loves to sing and dance, and CJ has definitely helped her find her voice in many ways. We spend a lot of our day singing songs we’ve learned signs to and signing our way through the lyrics! Sign class brings her so much joy! She loves going to class, seeing her friends, signing and singing, and of course—the bubbles! I am due with another girl in October and am already excited to get her going in classes as soon as possible!"💙

👋Say👋 to Astrid, our ! She is 3 years old and has been in 2 years of Sign+Play classes, starting at 12 months old. She takes virtual classes from her home in Washington.🖥️

"Signing has helped bridge the communication gap during the times Astrid either doesn't know a vocabulary word yet or when I can't quite understand her pronunciation of a word."- Mom

When asked what her favorite part of CJ class is, her mom replied, ⤵️

"We absolutely love being a part of the CJ community. All of our teachers have been wonderful and kind and knowledgeable. Having these classes weekly help set up the structure/schedule for Astrid to prep her for school when she is of age. The classes are super engaging, with different subjects each session to keep her interested and excited. Her communication has grown from about 20 words when we first started to over 300 (I lost count because she is so conversational now).."💙
