‘Learning to sign with your little one can smooth communication when s/he is tired, hurt or frustrated, and give you insight into their wider needs and thoughts. Sing and Sign classes are fun and gentle, promoting responsiveness to your child, as well as being kept intentionally small (max 12 places in a class) so that each week you and your baby are in a comfortable, familiar space where you can make friends and enjoy quality time together. Combining action songs, props, pictures, musical instruments and a special cat called Jessie, each week centres around a theme with clear signs of the week that are revisited often so that you are able to consolidate your learning.
Never signed before? No problem, it’s easy! Not a great singer? Your baby (and we!) really don’t mind! You might be surprised how great you feel after a regular singing session, especially as each class lasts a full hour, with refreshments before class in most venues. Have twins? They attend as two-for-one!

‘My daughter loves the classes…it’s amazing how many signs she has! Anna’s classes are fun and engaging, and I would recommend them to anyone who has a little one’.

‘The ability to be able to understand my son before he can talk…has been invaluable! Anna makes you feel confident and is so gentle and kind with the babes.’
