Choose Your Own Adventure, Find Your Treasure!

Pirate ships and treasure chests can take your mind to fascinating places. The programs offered in this Fall 2012 Community Education Youth Programs Catalog are intended to take you to new places of discovery and hidden treasures as well. Each catalog is created with the goal of offering a new variety of classes. Programs you’ve seen listed before are brought back when they are meeting or exceeding parent, student, and Community Education staff expectations and continue to engage and challenge children or youth. Programs are constantly being reenergized with fresh materials and activities that we think will make them appealing to a large group of people. If you tried it once, don’t be afraid to try it again. Every session of each class is sure to bring a unique experience we really think students will enjoy.

All of the options present an opportunity for a new adventure, which one will you choose? Your treasure awaits… come discover it!

Sincerely,Carrie DobieYouth Programs Coordinator

BABY siGn lAnGuAGE(0-12 mOnThs)Why would a parent consider using sign language with their baby? • Bonding: Research has confirmed that signers enjoy a stronger parental bond.• Reduced Fussiness: A lot of fussiness is caused by a baby wanting something but not being able to communicate his need to you. Research has shown that signing babies are better able to get their needs met.• Development: Baby sign language is a good structured activity to help babies develop cognitively. Studies show that babies who have early exposure to signing, have larger speaking vocabularies earlier.

BABY & PAREnT YOGA(0-12 mOnThs)This introductory class will be taught by a certified baby yoga instructor. Yoga advocates say that yoga can help parents and infants bond, and promote development of motor skills.
