We are husband-wife duo, Chris and Kathy Baker. Chris is a Speech-Language Pathologist and Kathy is Music Therapist. We are parents of two young kids, soon to be three. We have been working in northern Colorado for over 10 years and are passionate about helping families and children reach their fullest potential through parent education, purposeful play, music and speech/language strategies.
We are an online education company that focuses on educating parents and families of young children, birth - 3yrs old. We aim to empower parents, families and caregivers to know how to help their children's communication develop as well as their social skills through using sign language, language, speech and music strategies. We have several rhyming sign language books (Tiny Hands, Big Dreams & A Rhyme to Sign) that can help children's communication develop faster. We also have an online education course (Talk & Play: Early Language Skills) that walks through the early stages of language development up to when kids are talking, putting words together and using language in social settings to make friends and bond with loved ones.
