On the Grow™ Enrichment Classes: Playful Learning for Children Birth–5
Baby Signs® enrichment classes for children birth through age 5
Looking for a fun, meaningful way to support your child’s development through play?
The Baby Signs® On the Grow™ Program offers playful enrichment classes for children from birth through age 5. Each class is designed to help families support early learning through songs, stories, signs, movement, hands-on activities, and everyday connection.
These are not traditional “baby sign language classes.” On the Grow™ classes go beyond signs to support the whole child, including social-emotional development, sensory exploration, early literacy, motor development, confidence, cooperation, and family bonding.
Whether your child is a newborn, a busy toddler, or a curious preschooler, On the Grow™ classes give families practical ways to learn, play, and connect.
What Makes On the Grow™ Different?
On the Grow™ classes combine child development, playful learning, and the trusted Baby Signs® approach to early communication.
Each class includes:
- Featured signs that support communication
- Songs and movement activities
- A themed story or book connection
- Hands-on play or craft activities
- Practical parent tips
- Simple ideas families can use at home
The goal is not to add one more complicated thing to a family’s day. The goal is to make everyday moments more meaningful.
A song, a story, a sign, a game, or a simple routine can become an opportunity for connection and learning.
Designed for Every Stage from Birth to Age 5
Children learn and grow quickly during the first five years. On the Grow™ classes are grouped by age and developmental stage so each class feels appropriate, engaging, and useful.
For Babies
Baby classes focus on early connection, sensory experiences, movement, visual development, communication, and caregiver-child bonding.
Class examples include:
Rumble Tumble Tummy Time™
A playful class that helps make tummy time more engaging and developmentally supportive for both baby and caregiver.
Baby Mind Time™
A class that helps families discover what babies are already learning about memory, attention, curiosity, and the world around them.
Look at Me, Look at You!™
A class focused on visual development, early interaction, and playful face-to-face connection.
For Toddlers and Preschoolers
Toddler and preschool classes use songs, signs, stories, games, and activities to support growing independence, communication, cooperation, early literacy, and confidence.
Class examples include:
It’s Potty Time!™
A playful class that helps children get excited about potty learning through songs, signs, stories, and encouragement.

ABC Sign with Me!™

More Than a Class: A Tool for Everyday Parenting
One of the best parts of On the Grow™ is that families leave with ideas they can use right away.
A class activity might become a favorite song at home. A sign introduced during class might help a toddler communicate during mealtime. A parenting tip might help a caregiver better understand a child’s behavior, interests, or developmental stage.
These small moments matter.
When children feel understood, they are more likely to feel confident, connected, and ready to learn.
A Great Fit for Schools, Libraries, Agencies, and Family Programs
On the Grow™ classes are also a wonderful fit for organizations that support young children and families.
The program can be offered through:
- Parent-child classes
- Family engagement programs
- Libraries
- Early childhood programs

Because the classes are playful, flexible, and developmentally appropriate, they can be adapted for many settings.
