Level 2 and 3 classes are on Beld Avenue at the Catholic Multicultural Center. They are offering childcare for these two classes, with an emphasis on learning and supporting sign language needs of these kids. They need one more registered student for Level 3 for the class to be held for sure. They have enough students for Level 2, but they can take more students at this time. Level 1 classes have open spots as well.
Class information is available online at www.matcmadison.edu. Click on a-z index, click on ACE (Adult and Continuing Ed), click on courses and then scroll down to Sign Language.
