My Endeavors

Baby Signs® Program
I have been part of the Baby Signs® Program since the Beta-Test Phase in 2002. I am now a Baby Signs® Independent Certified Instructor. The Baby Signs® Program is the world's leading sign language program for babies. It's a wonderful way to talk to your baby before your baby can talk!

I offer workshops and classes to help parents learn about this latest movement in early childhood development.

We started using the Baby Signs® Program with my granddaughter Bethany at the age of 4 months and she began to sign back at about 8 months. At 12 months her "signing" vocabulary really took off and at the age of 18 months she was using about 40 signs and 20 words. You can see her signing "cat" on the Baby Signs® DVD - My Pets!

Kindermusik
I have been a licensed Kindermusik educator since 1999. Kindermusik is the world's premier music and movement program for children newborn to 7 years of age. It has been around for over 25 years and I am one of 5000 licensed educators worldwide. In 2003 I received the Kindermusik Maestro award recognizing my work in offering a truly expansive program to families. When I closed my Kindermusik business in Orlando before moving to Pennsylvania I had 100 families in my program.
