Enrichment and Community Classes
At Baby Fingers, our students of all ages are hearing and Deaf. Deaf teachers on our team teach ASL and Deaf culture. Hearing teachers on our team teach signs from ASL that help lay the foundation for expressive and receptive language. In addition, sign language can foster bilingualism, literacy, and self-expression while supporting cultural identity.
Above all, Baby Fingers curriculum makes and keeps language accessible for all children.
In addition to our private and group classes, Baby Fingers offers enrichment and community classes throughout the New York Metro area.
