WHY I GOT INTO SING & SIGN
My name is Ciara, better known as Aunty Ara! Just before the full severity of the pandemic started to affect everyone globally, I came to the United Kingdom, on an extended holiday, to spend time with my sister, brother in law and the Wonkles aka my nephews. It was then that I was able to participate in Sing and Sign, with my nephews, both in person and online. I was blown away by how quickly they began to use the signs to let us know what they wanted. I knew immediately that this was something I wanted to share with parents and their children in Trinidad and Tobago as well as the Caribbean.
As an educator I know the importance of really understanding material, being able to communicate efficiently and having a solid foundation in language that assists with all aspects of life. I love that Sing and Sign “provides a way for families who are interested in improving two-way communication between parent and child to do so in an entertaining, stimulating and enjoyable manner through its course.”

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

Sing and Sign's original and unique approach has revolutionised baby signing in the United Kingdom. Everyone knows nursery rhymes and action songs are great fun and musical activities help stimulate language development. Sing and Sign combines the benefits of both music and baby signing. We teach a wide range of signs using some traditional and some specially written or adapted songs. What makes Sing and Sign special is that every sign used in song relates to those important first words of a baby's world! Nappies and bath time, hiding games and bedtime. You name it, we have a song about it, and the babies just love to hear them! With a high standard of educational content, this is a relaxing, enjoyable and unpressured way for you and your baby to learn.
We don't use too many signs within the songs, just enough to highlight the key words. Many of the tunes we use are traditional and familiar melodies, this ensures all songs are easy to sign along with for the beginner.
