Language Enrichment Classes in Chicago

Little Giggles Speech Therapy is excited to offer group language enrichment classes designed to enhance children’s communication skills and provide caregivers with effective strategies to support their child’s growth. Our classes are thoughtfully developed to create an engaging and dynamic environment where children can thrive and learn through play, literacy, music, and sensory/motor activities. After each class, families receive take-home materials, including extension activity suggestions and sign language instructional videos, to use at home and share with additional family members.

Early Expressions - Infants focuses on your baby’s first gestures and sign language. Your baby has so much to communicate to you before they can talk! Through play, reading, and music, you and your baby will learn three core signs per week. Themes include play, mealtime, safety & hygiene, and loved ones. Suggested for ages 3-12 months.

Early Expressions - Toddlers focuses on developing your toddler’s first spoken words and sentences. So much language growth happens during this age range, and you’ll learn how best to elicit communication to reduce frustration and enhance your bond. Suggested for ages 1-3 years.

Sign Storytime engages you and your little one in familiar songs, stories, and play routines, all while signing! Learn signs to practice at home and strategies to promote communication development.

Classes are instructed by Meredith: speech-language pathologist (SLP), founder of Little Giggles, and mom of two little ones. Through a combination of structured activities, play-based learning, and parental involvement, Meredith aims to lay a strong foundation for lifelong communication success.

Thanks for visiting! Meredith is currently enjoying some bonding time with her new baby, Leah.

She is excited to return to teaching in late fall 2024!
