Welcome to the enriching world of baby sign language with Chantal Norton, a seasoned educator with over 30 years of experience working with babies, toddlers, young children, and parents. Chantal's venture into teaching families to use signs & gestures for early communication began when her own daughter was just 8 months old. Captivated by its transformative power in early communication, she was inspired to share this gift with other families.
Chantal has been teaching baby communication for more than 5 years, both in-person and online, adapting her methods to reach families globally during the pandemic. Her classes are uniquely vibrant and interactive, blending learning signs and gestures with music, songs, games, and even puppets. This approach ensures that sessions are not only educational but also a delightful experience for the entire family.
At the heart of Chantal's teaching is the belief that communication is about more than just words—it's about creating shared experiences and discussions, which her classes facilitate through engaging content. She is deeply committed to empowering parents and caregivers, providing them with the necessary tools to enhance communication with their infants. Chantal's ultimate goal is for parents to not only learn the signs but to also weave the songs and games from the course into their daily lives, thereby enriching their parenting journey.
Chantal is passionate about giving babies a 'voice' before they can speak, helping them express their thoughts and feelings through signs. She finds profound joy in teaching baby communication through signing as it fosters earlier and deeper bonds between parents and their children, allowing babies to be 'heard' long before their first words.
Chantal looks forward to guiding more families on their signing journey, helping them discover the joys and benefits of early communication. Join her to give your child the voice they deserve and to find more joy in your parenting experience.
