Course description::
Communication is a basic human need from a very early age. Until they gain the ability to speak, baby sign language can allow your child to express their needs and thoughts more easily. These simple hand signs are like a window into your baby’s world and allow you, as parents, to share in your child’s sensations and discoveries. The playful use of concrete gestures parallel to spoken language gives babies orientation and security; it helps you learn to pay attention to their needs and inspires in the child the joy of speaking. Baby sign language support your child’s visual, motor, and auditory perceptual skills in an age-appropriate way.

Through nursery rhymes, songs, and games, you and your baby will learn the basic vocabulary of baby sign language for everyday life. The course centers on the fun and joy of being together. The weekly course is suitable for babies aged 6 months and older.

In-person dates will follow as soon as possible again (includes 10 course units at 45 minutes each)

Music garden for babies aged 18 months and younger

This offer is currently on pause!

Every child is a born musician! The music garden (German: Musikgarten) concept invites young children and their parents to make music together. Singing, moving, making and listening to music will awaken your child’s natural disposition for music. Simple instruments such as claves, bells, rattles, and drums introduce children to the world of sound.

Making and listening to music together at this early stage is “nourishment” for your child’s body, mind, and soul. Babies are captivated by exploring their voice and body. The course is an opportunity for children learn their first songs, rhymes, knee-bouncing games, and dances.
