Signing As We Grow

After more than 10 years with the Signing Time Academy, I'm winding down my baby signing language business here in Gravenhurst (Ontario, Canada). I have some inventory to clear including Baby Signing Time, Signing Time and Potty Time DVD's, board books and music CD's. Plus toys, large format story time books and more that I used in my classes.
Of special interest to early childhood, preschool and JK through grade 4 teachers, are two different complete curriculum packages -- everything you need for incorporating signs from American Sign Language into your class or day care.
Contact me for more information. I will ship anywhere in Canada or the U.S.A.

Coming soon! Online baby sign class announcement.
