About Us

Happy Baby Signs  helps parents live with more joy by illuminating new ways to nurture, communicate, and connect with their children. This is the program you may have read about where babies are signing more than 100 words! We've been providing baby sign language classes since 2005 and have empowered more than 50,000 parents how to sign with their babies. Our program is founded on more than four decades of evidence-based research and uses American Sign Language (ASL). We believe using ASL with the hearing population fosters a more inclusive community. Our classes are a fun-filled way to teach parents how to introduce sign language into their baby's everyday routines through songs and interactive activities.
​
We offer in-person and live virtual classes. plus, on-demand recorded classes. We've taught at multiple locations nationwide including Kaiser Permanente Hospitals, Sutter Health, Dignity Health, Stanford WorkLife, Children's Creative Learning Centers at Cisco Systems, Bright Horizons at Lucas Films Digital Arts, libraries, and parent resource centers.
