Kindermusik develops every area of the brain, one of which is responsible for language development in children.
Children absolutely enjoy signing; apart from acting as a catalyst for language development, sign language also reduces pre-verbal stress.
Kindermusik has introduced a wonderful studio program called Sign and Sing. I have put a few signs here for you to see. American sign language is taught through this program, however, Laurie has kindly consented to translated these few signs -on the right - into South African sign language. |

South African Sign Language
| Around September of 2007, at my request, Laurie (below) introduced me to South African sign language in her spare time. Therefore, in addition to what Kindermusik teaches by way of ASL, I am now also able to show our little ones the South African version. Thanks, Laurie. |
