By Signing Time Instructor Colleen Brunetti In this age of increased focus on test scores, “teaching baby to read”, and some kids being put on waiting lists for preschools before they are even born, it can be easy to get swept up in the desire to give a baby the best start possible, and loose a little sight of the joy of learning and play. Enter Signing Time, and the classes you teach as a Signing Time Academy Instructor. Learning to sign is just plain fun, and you can really bring that alive with the classes you teach in your communities.

Why I Became an Instructor

By / 1 minute of reading

I became a Signing Time instructor in August because of my experiences as a nanny.  I take care of a 16-month old. I began working with her 15 hours a week in September.

Occasionally she would look up and watch, but I didn’t think she was paying attention. I was wrong! When she was in her highchair one day, I brought out some crackers.
