My Baby Fingers: Giving Children New York's Premier Sign Language Programs

By: Toan Dinh Home | Reference-and-Education


All parents want to give their child every extra advantage possible to ensure that they get a head-start in life. My Baby Fingers understands the importance of developing these lifelong skills - the kind that can give every child an important advantage as they grow and learn. The sign language programs available from the New York City educators are capable of providing these very skills for hearing and deaf children alike.

The sign language programs at My Baby Fingers are uniquely capable of giving children an education in communication that ensures a life full of advantages. More than just a language, signing has been found to increase a deaf or hearing child's ability to enjoy success in important aspects of their lives such as reading performance and oral language development. To take the fullest advantage of this link, My Baby Fingers teaches its classes to the accompaniment of music. Studies from renowned scholars at the University of California, Ohio State University and through independent experts have shown strong evidence supporting the link between sign language lessons and higher IQs, an increased interest in books, enhanced verbal language development and a deeper parent-child bond. My Baby Fingers' Founding Director, Lora Heller received her Masters of Science in Special Education/Deaf Education on these very principles and has seen them in action with her own children. By informing the New York school's sign language programs on this basis, Heller and her staff are able to guarantee fantastic results for their client's children.

Any age of child can benefit from the sign language classes available through My Baby Fingers. Don't let the name fool you - the positive effects of signing are for more than just infants and toddlers. My Baby Fingers offers New Yorkers sign language programs that include children ranging from just one month old to six years. The optimal age to begin lessons is always as early as possible but the benefits of signing can be applied to nearly any age group. Parents are encouraged to begin learning as soon as they can in order to have the skills they need to begin signing to their babies as soon as they’re born. Some children begin signing as early as the four to six month mark but, by eight to ten months, all babies possess the skills they need to begin signing on their own.

My Baby Fingers gives New Yorkers sign language programs that meet any schedule. Regular classes are set up at convenient times through My Baby Finger's headquarters but hosting or joining home lessons is also available. The school also offers remote, internet-based webinars for even the busiest clients!

You want to give your child every advantage and the means to succeed in life and My Baby Fingers can help. Read more or contact us today to begin discovering the success of our sign language programs in New York City.
