Developed with the help of Speech and Language experts, 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. 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.
Our prices for online classes range from TT$450.00 to TT$500.00 per term (GBP 55.00 - GBP 60.00 per term). Each term consists of ten weeks of lesson content. Click here to register.

LET'S WAVE HELLO!

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.”

- A 30 minute video session offered 5 times a week that parents and babies can enjoy as much as they like

Sing & Sign- Stage 1, ideal for babies aged from 6 months to 13 months, explores basic signs used for mealtimes, emotions, changing nappies, bath and bedtime.

Sing & Sign- Stage 2, ideal for toddlers aged from 14 months to 24 months, is great when your little one is moving about and probably starting to talk (although every baby is different, so there's no hard and fast rule!) as it is more active and interactive. Themes explored include weather, opposites, colours and the phonetic alphabet, together with simple counting songs, turn taking, sharing and of course, lots of fun! The following is included:
