Daycare Sign Language Alphabet

American Sign Language (ASL signs are the standard) is a commonly used language across the world. It's a skill that encourages communication and social interaction. Sign language can be used in early childhood education to assist with child development and help children remember new information and learn language concepts more quickly and at a younger age (even basic signs in baby sign language can help infants, whether they’re in the deaf community or not). Sign language makes abstract concepts easier for children to grasp by letting them see and feel them through sign can can help their overall language skills. Learning sign language also gives daycare center children another form of communication, can improve speech development, and can give them a head start with language.
