Baby Sign Language In Childcare

As well as penetrating numerous homes around the country, baby sign language has become part of the curriculum at numerous childcare centre's also. Thanks to baby sign language, children are able to express what they want, feel, think or need and are understood by those around them. For this reason, childcare centre's have begun introducing baby sign language into their daily routines and are now seeing the benefits. The main benefits experienced by Childcare Workers who have incorporated the Australian Baby Hands Childcare Pack into their centre are the following:

	A calmer less frustrated environment for both the childcare workers and children. As children are able to communicate their needs and wants, there are less temper tantrums.
	As Australia is a very multi-cultural country, childcare centre's usually have children from numerous cultural backgrounds. As a result these children have been exposed to many different languages such as English, French, Russian, Spanish etc. By introducing baby sign language, there is one common language among all the children and this assists with integration among these different cultural groups.
	Children are polite and are encouraged to use “please” and “thank you” when asking for or receiving things.
	Baby sign language has resulted in the children developing an extensive vocabulary and they are hungry to learn more.
	Children are acquiring spoken language quicker than children who had never been exposed to sign language.
	Children’s self-esteem and self-confidence have increased since introducing baby sign language into the childcare centre.

More recently, the Australian Baby Hands Childcare Pack was complimented with the introduction of “Sammy the Signing Bear”. Sammy is an amazing tool to use in the childcare/playgroup environment. His radiant red jumper is creatively styled so that you can help Sammy come to life. By placing your hands into Sammy's bright yellow gloves and pulling his jumper sleeves up your arms, you can begin to animate Sammy arms and have him do baby sign just like any adult. Watch the reaction of you’re the children as Sammy comes to life and makes learning fun. Sammy is a great tool to use for story time. For further information on Sammy, simply click here.
