We took a Signing Up class with our 14-month old son and are so pleased with what we learned. We'd…read morebeen using a few signs at home ("more", "all done", "milk") but before we took the Signing Up class, we hadn't been able to see that our son was making the signs back to us. In the class we learned that his motions were approximations of the signs we were teaching him and learned how to respond to encourage him to continue to develop his signs. Since we took the class, we've been incorporating what we learned and have seen tremendous skill development already. Our son's sometimes whines are getting replaced with signed requests-- it's amazing to see the pleasure on his face when he realizes that his sign has communicated so much more than his emerging sounds have. We'd tried DVDs at home but had given up as they seemed hokey and didn't answer our questions. One class with Signing Up was a much better learning experience for all three of us. Our teacher was Melissa and we found her energetic, clear, helpful and very skilled at maneuvering between adult-centered instruction and songs and games to keep the kids in class engaged.

We had a great experience with the Signing Up class we took with Melissa. Our 11 month old quickly…read morepicked up the signs we were using with her after the workshop. Within a couple of weeks she was using signs for Milk, drink, eat and diaper. It was great to see the joy on her face when she signed for drink and was instantly given her cup! The satisfaction of being able to communicate her needs was great. IT was also really helpful to see Melissa's videos of other babies signing. We were able to identify our daughters signs which were slightly different than what we signed to her - so it was good to know what to look for or we might have missed it!

Sometimes that was making sure I had coffee or that my partner got to go to the gym, and other times was about the theory and science of various parenting practices. She came to watch us at home and support what we truly needed and pushed us to try things to optimize our parenting behaviors. In addition, her local contacts put me on a solid breastfeeding plan when I was not producing milk and thought the situation was hopeless. We were with Colleen for two weeks and I truly believe that without this time and what we learned, it would have taken us months to get on solid footing. Colleen was a godsend and genuinely celebrated with us as we became better parents each day. I couldn't recommend her enough and do not think anyone should do this without her!

As first time parents, it was really important to us that the person taking care of our baby when we were working or out of the house was specifically experienced in working with tiny babies.

We are grateful that she was the first person outside of our family to spend significant time with our son!

Staff was attentive, caring, and dedicated to our children. Staff was also transparent and communicated well with parents. Staff assisted with potty training and other milestones. The kids got to explore, be creative, try new things, make friends, learn, and have fun. My son received appropriate pre-k lessons - he was challenged academically and especially liked the stem and art projects he did throughout the year. As a family, we really enjoyed the cultural appreciation lesson. There were several fun activities the kids could be involved with. My kids adored Ms. Hailey and Ms. Kim. It was really comforting knowing that our kids were safe and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Espin to other parents in Union and neighboring towns.

The kids have lots of time for play, both in the sunny classrooms with views of the river, and in their two outdoor playgrounds and indoor gym. Although the school is play-based, they also do a lot of learning through play! I've been amazed at how my son's writing ability has grown this year. The specials (library, art, music, and dance) are also a real highlight of the Weekday School. My son has been bringing home amazing art projects, and showing us the songs and dances that he learned at school. Most importantly, the teachers are so experienced and caring. They really get to know each child as an individual, and my son has bonded very strongly with his teachers. Ms. Daina, the director, is incredibly warm, dedicated, and accessible. She knows all the children, is involved on a day-to-day level, and provides a lot of guidance for the kindergarten application process. We have had a wonderful experience with the Weekday School. It is a magical place for children!
