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.

Contact me for more information. I will ship anywhere in Canada or the U.S.A.

Out of an abundance of caution, as they say, I am postponing the start of this class. Although young children may not be particularly vulnerable to the worst outcomes of a COVID-19 infection, there is no question that grandparent types such as myself and my partner are. If we all end up staying home for a while, I may offer the class online.
