Observing your little one grow and reach different milestones is truly a remarkable experience. One of the most significant milestones is the development of language and communication skills. Signing is an invaluable skill that fosters communication pathways between you and your child. Its use among babies and children is rapidly rising as more parents recognise its tremendous benefits.
Our award-winning classes enhance communication skills, provide valuable bonding time, boost your child's confidence, and minimise frustration!
Using puppets, music and a great variety of unique props, you can be sure that your little one and you are captivated for the whole lesson. Bringing a wealth of signing experience to these fun packed classes and personal experience in teaching our own children to sign too.
