We watch signing time for 30 minutes each day. We have the full collection from signingtime.com which is over 12 videos and includes hundreds of signs.
The children and staff participate along with the children on the video. This is an exciting time that the children look forward to each day.
We also use Sign language along with its spoken and written word throughout the day.
How can Signing Time help your children?
Would you like to communicate with your child before they can talk?
Do you want to increase your child's reading and language abilities?
Scientific studies show that "typical" children who learn to sign:
have higher IQ scores
are better adjusted
read at an earlier age
Many parents observe that by learning to communicate earlier, the "terrible twos" are not so terrible—children can use a sign instead of throwing a tantrum to express their needs.
We recognize that every child is a gift from God and has been made in His image. As such, we foster and cultivate an environment of love and care for each other regardless of our unique differences. Our inclusive environment benafits both typically developing children as well as those with special needs.
Our goal is for each child to know they are important and loved. We value each child’s unique personality, character, and individuality.
We acknowledge and encourage each child’s contribution to each other and the class. We believe in creating an environment where children develop a sense of trust and belonging.
We are dedicated to providing a warm and inviting impression that allows children to learn and grow at their own pace whether they need support for delayed development or accelerated learning for gifted students.
Children are not only encouraged to explore materials in the classroom but also their relationships with peers and staff.
At AFR Discovery Kids World, children feel important and valued when others listen, question, and allow them to express themselves
