Tiny Talkers is bringing its Baby Signing 101 Workshop back to Milagros on Friday, February 25, 12:30pm:
Are you a busy mom, dad, grandparent, educator or caregiver? Have no time to spare? Then the Baby Signing 101 Workshop is for YOU!
Learning to sign with your baby is simple and you can learn all you need to know in one session. When you learn how to communicate with baby using sign language, you will help reduce tears & tantrums, increase their IQ, boost bonding & actually help them speak earlier than non-signers.
During this workshop, you will learn specific how-to information, invaluable tips & techniques based on how baby’s brain works, activities & games to promote verbal language & get a baby signing dictionary with over 80 helpful signs as well as a journal! The most important thing that the workshop offers is practical advice on how to reach your ultimate goal- verbal language development.
Tiny Talkers teaches American Sign Language (ASL). It is our belief that making up your own language as some other baby sign language programs encourage could present problems if you want others to understand your baby’s signs. Many people know American Sign Language including caregivers at daycare centers and why not give your child a head start on being bilingual?
This workshop is geared toward adults but non-mobile babies welcome if you feel you can comprehend the material while caring for them.
Price Per First Student: $40, Price Per Spouse/Partner: $10

Posted February 10th, 2011 in diapering, Milagros News | Tags: Classes, Cloth Diapering 101, cloth diapers, Events |
We now offer our FREE Cloth Diapering 101 twice a month at Milagros!
In response to demand, we have added a second regular session of our intro to cloth diapering class. The Cloth Diapering 101 classes at Milagros are casual gatherings where participants learn all about cloth diapering and get hands-on advice on diapering choices from one of Milagros’ expert staffers. It is also a chance to meet other parents who are using cloth diapers or thinking about it.
There has definitely been a renewed interest in traditional cloth diapering due to it being the most environmentally friendly and natural option for infant hygiene as well as the least expensive (I guess other than going diaper free). Cloth diapering choices are pin-free and easy and you can save thousands of dollars just by choosing cloth diapers over disposable options.
Cloth Diapering 101 at Milagros is free and no RSVP is required. Next class is Sunday, February 13 at 11am.
