This Month's Featured Location
We've been featuring locations to catch a Baby Signs class.
 
This month's feature is:

 
 
Located in Cedar Park, TX

Any time I'm meeting with Butch Aggen (he and his wife Maria own the Cedar Park Goddard School) it's apparent that he is very much involved in the lives of the children in the school. Kids will often poke their head in his always-open door. His interest and knowledge of each child is evident as they tell him about something new and important in their life. From the owner,the Director, co-director, office staff and every last teacher on down parents can rest assured their child will be taken good care of by well-educated and caring people. Check out all this school can offer you and your child.


See below for the next scheduled Potty Party or sibling class by Baby Signs at The Goddard School.

Upcoming Classes/Workshops
               
 
Tummy Time Class        Tummy Time Class Logo
                    (New Class on Sundays)
 
If babies don't get enough tummy time it can lead to a misshapen skull, delayed sitting up, crawling, walking and even impaired cognitive development. Because babies no longer sleep on their stomachs and spend more time in bouncy seats and car seats, etc. they often don't tolerate being on their tummies well.

  

Learn how to make tummy time fun for your baby through engaging songs and activities in a play-class setting. Take home parenting tips to help you make the most of this important developmental stage. Four-class series is $50.00.

  

Location: NW Austin - Leaps-n-Bounds Childcare - Aug. 26th - Sept. 16th - Sunday Afternoons - 3:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.

 

 
 
This class is focused on the older  MyBaby&Me Logo       
toddler/child (2-5 yrs.) who is adjusting to a new baby (expected to 6 mths). Children will learn games, songs, and a few signs and other things they can now "teach" their new baby at home. They'll even make a craft and take home a little book to help them track their baby's success as they grow. Parents will go home with great ideas and tips to help them promote positive sibling relations when they return home. The cost is only $15.00 for this one-time class. Class can be attended with or without baby.
