Baby Sing and Sign

We introduce new signs each week, but revisit them throughout the term, so there is plenty of opportunity to recap.
About this Event

Sing and Sign... what is it?

Developed with the help of Speech and Language experts and launched in January 2001, the “Sing and Sign” programme has since taught many tens of thousands of parents across the UK how to sign with their babies and encourage amazing early communication.

What to expect in class

The class is approximately 40-45 minutes long and is more of a structured class. We introduce new signs each week, but revisit them throughout the term, so there is plenty of opportunity to recap.

Stage 1 is for babies 5 months - 15 months. We start with the basic signs “milk,” “more” etc… to incorporate in to daily routines. We look at animals, bath time, nappy change, bed time signs and much more. We also introduce Jessie cat, the Sing and Sign mascot! We play peek-a-boo with Jessie cat as well as with scarves, which is not only great fun but encourages babies to learn object permanence.

In addition to the face-to-face classes, you will also have an online membership to the Jessie cat club. This is a great tool to support learning. There is a sign dictionary, @home content, with online classes and many more videos and songs. The online classes are uploaded each week in conjunction with the face-to-face classes. So you can recap or catch up if any classes are missed.
