Award Winning Baby, Toddler, and Preschool Sign Classes, New And Expecting Parent Classes, And More In The Capital District Area Of New York helping your child's development reach it's full potential, Learn and Grow Together has programs and strategies in place that: helps parents understand what their baby or toddler, and even preschooler is trying to tell them. Better understand their toddler's ever changing moods and emotions. Help their babies with sleeping difficulties. Learn positive parenting techniques for babies and children from birth to 4 years old. Manage their children's temper tantrums, and more...by offering Family Enrichment classes, Teacher Training, and more! This includes baby and toddler sign language classes through Wee Hands and The Happiest Baby Certified Educator Program classes to new and expecting parents, as well as classes for day care and preschool staff. I am also available for ASL Story Hours and presentations for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers at local libraries and playgroups and more!

If you have a homeschool group for children 1 to kindergarten, contact me about coming to your group for a 4, 8, 10, or 36 week session (the 36 week session is broken into 4 week programs, with a new program every 4 weeks!), and group rates! We now also offer Everyday Signs in the Community for staff working with adults with developmental delays.

Why wait to communicate?

Talk to your baby and toddler before they even learn to speak! Wouldn't it be great to know why your baby is crying? Or why your toddler is upset? Teaching them to sign what they want/feel/need is a wonderful way to help them communicate with you, and boost their IQ and vocabulary! The Wee Hands strategies help you know what your baby wants, and helps lessen frustration with your toddler!

Remember...it is NEVER too early or too late to start signing with your child! Though many children will nto start signing until they are much older, some start signing as young as 2 months, and may even be signing in 2-3 word sentences by 6 months. With consistent signing, you will have a 2 year old with a vocabulary of up to 700 or more words! And with older children, you can use sign to speak through windows, and across rooms, without having to yell! Signing is really great for all ages!

To see how a signing/verbal vocabulary can progress, check out THIS and THIS page, to see my 2 younger boys' progressions from 2 months to 3 years!

Signing is also a great way to help children with special needs! We are also now offering Everyday Signs in the Community for staff working with adults with developmental delays. You can learn more about this program here as well as pricing for this program on our programs page.

When you are pregnant, you dream of the day when you will hold your angelic newborn in your arms.

If you are like most parents, your dreams don't include the possibility that instead, you'll be walking the floors with a baby who won't sleep or has colic, wondering just what it is you're doing wrong and why he doesn't like you.

The Happiest Baby on the Block method will help your baby sleep soundly for longer than you thought possible and more!

In The Happiest Toddler on the Block, Dr. Karp Discusses:

  • The fascinating links between modern toddlers and prehistoric man.
  • The language of Toddlers and how to speak to them, build their Self Esteem, and more
  • Tricks of successful praise, limit setting, and discipline.
  • Sleep issues, toilet training, separation worries and biting. AND MORE!

What's Going On?



I am continuously striving to find new ways to help children and families in the Capitol Region and beyond. I am anxiously awaiting some fantastic new programs being impletmented through the NYS Parenting Education Partnership. Until then (early to mid December of this year), I am excited to have been asked to join their Certifiation Sub-Committee, to support experienced parenting educators in "brushing up" and working through the certification process.

Along with another mom, I am working to develop and publish the brand new website for the Montessori School of Bethlehem. The website is in the planning stagess, but should be up and live by June 1! Check back for updates!
