Check out all our Testimonials! You span the globe

So I was sitting in my office today reviewing reports, web pages, marketing and needed a quick break from the hum-drum of work and took a moment to read through our testimonials page on our website. It’s been broken for the last couple of weeks and we finally got it back up and running earlier this week. I’m glad it’s back because I was reminded that our customers and fans are awesome! I can honestly say that on a frequent basis your letters, your emails and your testimonials bring me to tears! No joke. (maybe it’s because I have 4 daughters and am a little more emotional then the typical guy ) Thanks to all for sharing your stories!

We have over 500 testimonials from all over the U.S. and the world. Read our testimonials for yourself and you’ll see what I’m talking about! We also have a neat little Google map that displays all the testimonials by geographic location. Take a look and see who around you has left a testimonial and how it has impacted them and their family.

Next, if you haven’t posted up your story or testimonial feel free to do so by going to the testimonial submission page. If you have any feedback or something is broken let me know because we just got it back up and running.

This news release was sent out December 8, 2009, from Nickelodeon:

NICK JR. TEACHES PRESCHOOLERS SIGN LANGUAGE WITH

NEW INTERSTITIAL MUSIC SERIES,

SIGNING TIME, BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9

NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2009 – Nick Jr., Nickelodeon’s 24-hour commercial-free, educational network, will premiere Signing Time, the network’s first interstitial music series dedicated to teaching sign language to preschoolers, on Wednesday, Dec. 9.  Three videos, starring Emmy-nominated Rachel Coleman, will be in regular rotation on Nick Jr. airing 1-2 times per day.  Two additional videos will air exclusively on Nickelodeon’s award-winning website, www.nickjr.com.

Signing Time reaches children with diverse learning styles and abilities by encouraging interaction through signing, singing, speaking and dancing.  The Signing Time series teaches American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary-building signs that are useful in daily life.

The videos airing on Nick Jr. include: “In a House,” which introduces the signs for different family members; “Feelings,” which teaches signs for feelings such as excited or scared and “Groove with Me,” which offers signs for activities such as jumping, swimming, dancing and running. NickJr.com will air these three videos in addition to two more exclusive music videos: “Leah’s Farm,” which presents the signs for animals and “A is for Alex and Alligator,” which teaches kids how to sign the entire alphabet.

Coleman co-created Signing Time as a means to teach children to communicate using American Sign Language (ASL).  As the mother of a daughter who is deaf, and another daughter with both cerebral palsy and spina bifida, sign language has played a central role in their family. Coleman has spent the last seven years making sign language fun and accessible for all children through the Signing Time series, which includes award-winning DVDs, music CDs, books, flashcards and a former public television show. Coleman, who is also a singer and songwriter, has written all the original songs featured in the series.  In 2008, Coleman was nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Performer in a Children’s Series.
