  Sing & Sign - East Kent

  
  
  

  Hello and a very warm welcome to Sing and Sign East Kent! Our award-winning baby signing and communication classes are held in Broadstairs, Ramsgate, Westwood X, Birchington & Betteshanger.

  I'm Hannah 
  I came across Sing & Sing in 2019 when looking for something to take my baby girl to. I loved learning something myself and quickly saw the benefits it was having for us as a family. There is nothing like the joy when your baby tells you what they need or like through signing! 
  I started teaching in 2022... It has been an honour to journey alongside so many young families. 
  Can't wait to meet you and your little one soon!!

  As a part of typical development before speech is well established, babies naturally use a combination of gestures and sounds to help their parents understand them. For example they may point, shake their heads, clap their hands and wave "bye-bye". Now is a good time to introduce some extra gestures to help your baby communicate. It's easy to do and your baby will really enjoy it! Why not try milk, more, change nappy, or tired? Baby signing is wonderfully rewarding and fantastic fun. You will be amazed by what your baby is capable of telling you before being able to talk! 
  

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

  
  

  WHICH STAGE SHOULD I BOOK? 
  
  Our classes are open to babies from birth up to toddlers of around 30 months; as soon as you feel you would like to get out with your baby to meet some other local mummies and enjoy some music together, while learning how to really make the most of early communication. You only need to learn and use a few tips, tricks and signs to make a significant difference in how you are your baby communicate. We offer three types of group:
  * Babes -  our curriculum for the youngest babies (under 7 months or before crawling)

  Our Babes class is a gentle, sensory class specifically designed to be suitable from birth. As well as further developing your existing bond with your baby, it helps build a strong framework for communication using familiar and new songs, lots of eye contact, tickles, facial expressions and some basic signing.

  * Stage 1 - our core curriculum award winning class for 6 - 14 months.

  We learn about going to the park, meal times, bath times and bedtimes and other things to capture your child's imagination like animals and vehicles. These are the signs babies love to use!  We show over 150 during the 10 weeks! We recommend you do two terms of STAGE ONE.The first term is for the parents, to teach you the signs... but the second term is for the babies as they will be starting to sign and are really familiar with all the songs, they really enjoy it. The content is slightly different each term. It gives them such a wonderful opportunity to really enjoy the programme now that they can participate even more!
  
  * Stage 2 - continue the fun with your toddler from 15 months up to around 30 months, as speech develops.
  With a similar format to Stage One, our Stage Two classes are designed to match your toddler's increased capacity to communicate and to move! We enjoy learning about the weather, being helpful, colours, basic counting and those all important phonics for early letter sound recognition.

  Reviews and Testimonials
  "We LOVE coming to sing and sign. The classes have been really interactive and engaging, from when we first took Phoebe at six months old to now - she's nearly 2! Hannah is so welcoming and friendly and is fantastic at making sure every child is involved in the class. The classes cover a great mix of topics from milk and food to potty training, and so have helped us communicate with Phoebe on a range of topics. This has been my favourite activity with Phoebe, as I can not only see the clear benefits for her but also thoroughly enjoyed the class and learning a bit of sign language myself!" - Emily and Pheobe

• Nurseries

  Sing and Sign offers training to local nurseries through the Nursery Affiliation Programme or "NAP"!

  Take a NAP with a difference!

   

  We will train staff on your own premises at a time to suit you.  We teach staff a selection of signs, tailor-made to the nursery's individual requirements and design an Individual Action Plan to inspire staff and make signing fun and easy to incorporate in their day-to-day activities.

  Following training, the nursery will receive a Certificate of Sing and Sign Affiliation together with ongoing access to our signing resources and the licensing to use our copyrighted products.

  If your baby or toddler attends a nursery or if you know of a childcare facility that would be interested in receiving further information, please do pass our details on, or contact us via the number/email above right.
