Sign Language

Are you able to share your time and talent teaching our infant-toddler staff and children how to communicate in sign language? The ideal method would be for the volunteer to sign songs and/or books at Circle Time, so that staff and children could learn in a natural manner. Additional teaching of staff through workshops or other means would also be helpful.
