Hello!

I'm Natasha and my passion for Sign Language goes all the way back to when I worked with young children in Ireland in an early intervention school. Here, I taught Sign Language as an augmentative communication skill to pre verbal children with a primary diagnosis of Autism. Teaching basic sign through song and other creative methods always sparked joy in my day among many other moments! Fast forward years later and a move to Canada I had my first daughter and I began infant sign with her from birth. Our first sign was the sign for milk which we vocalized with 'boobie' using sign was a game changer for our family and being able to meet her needs gave an element of calm to the chaos that family life has. It also benefitted so many more aspect of her development and helped in creating a very eloquent, appropriately expressive child. 

From that point on I have used sign with my other children and we have been equally successful. Wanting to offer other caregivers the opportunity I've had with my children and past students I sought Canadian certification and gained it with the re-nouned Drs. Acredolo and Goodwyn's The Baby Signs® Program. They where the only educators program that had a commitment to children. To promote the health and well-being of all children and foster their optimal development during the critical first three years of life.
The Baby Signs® Program commitment to parents. To help parents recognize their child’s developmental potential and the importance of the first three years for laying solid foundations for an optimal future and it also shows a commitment to families.
To help make day-to-day family life less stressful and more satisfying and to help families build bonds of love and respect that can last a lifetime.

I love being in the family center and spending time with you and your littles and cannot wait to see you all soon.
