Here's a nugget of knowledge:
Teaching basic sign language to babies and toddlers is an effective way to develop their verbal skills, give them a way to communicate early on, and enhance their bond with caregivers.

Learn more about putting these facts into action by joining our FREE 4-week "Little Voices" series that starts tomorrow at Jonathan Trumbull Library at 11:00am. The program is designed for kiddos and caregivers to have fun and learn together.

It's not too late to register! Call the library at (860) 642-7763 to hold your spot.
