    How are TreeSchoolers videos different from Signing Time videos?

    • The goal of TreeSchoolers is to teach a complete preschool curriculum.
    • The goal of Signing Time is to teach ASL signs.
    • Both shows feature original songs by Emmy-nominated host, Rachel Coleman.
    • Both shows feature ASL signs. Signing Time completely focuses on signing. And since research shows that signing can help preschool children learn and remember new concepts, it was natural to include a handful of ASL signs in TreeSchoolers, too!

    Watch your child fall in love with learning!

    This curriculum-based series prepares preschoolers for kindergarten by teaching essential concepts and social skills (like kindness, teamwork, persistence and sharing) while nourishing your child's self esteem.

Watch your child become actively engaged in learning through songs, signs, stories, and dance.
