Hello again. October is a busy month and the last chance to sign up for a play class this year. We all get too busy when the holidays start to hit so if you're thinking about it and your child is at least eight months old, now is the time. 

Baby not here yet or under eight months? Or do you work and can't attend a play class with your baby? Come learn everything you need to know about signing with your baby at an evening workshop. Both parents (or 2 people from same family) can attend and you'll go home with the tools and confidence to get started right away or when your baby is ready (five or six months is not too early to start). See the Parent Workshop scheduled below coming up next Wednesday (Sept. 18th).

Happy Signing!

No Matter What
 
New to Pre-School 
 
I'm always looking for good books for older toddlers and pre-schoolers and I recently found a good one for helping the little ones be o.k. with being away from parents when they are at school. The book is No Matter What by Debi Gliori. It's a warm, tender story about a child's biggest worry and a parent's endless capacity for love. It's very creative and now one of my favorites. You'll like it too.
