  About Me
  

  Hi, my name is Stevie and I run the Sing and Sign classes with Jo in the Sheffield area.

  
  

  Signing with my babies was one of the most magical and rewarding things I have ever done, and I am so blessed to now be able to share this joy with the parents/babies that attend our classes.  

  
  

  Sing and Sign is easy to learn, super enjoyable for the babies (and their care givers) and it is a wonderful tool to support the receptive (understanding) and indeed expressive communication of baby.  It supports baby’s ability to express their needs, thoughts and ideas through gesture before they develop their ability to use words (and even after!).

  
  

  It helps to boost the confidence and self esteem of baby and further enhances the bond between baby and care giver.

  
  

  Music and song is a key element in our course, and research tells us how fundamental this is for language development.

  
  

  Both my girls signed and went on to be confident early talkers (Warning: they haven’t been quiet since).  Good communication, is at the foundation of many other skills, and I firmly believe that this early input has played a significant role in supporting my children to flourish in their early education.  

  
  My background is in Speech and Language, Early Years/Primary Education and SEND and I feel really passionately about what Sing and Sign has to offer our families.  

  
  

  There is wealth of information that can be found on our website but should you have any further questions or queries, please do not hesitate to get in contact. 

  
  

  We are very much looking forward to meeting you and your baby(ies) soon!

  Which class should I attend?

  
  Sing and Sign Babes (for babies 2 months to around 6 months)

  
  

  A lovely gentle music and sensory class with a strong emphasis on communication. The course introduces the basics of the Sing and Sign approach for those keen to sign and engage with their babies. We show you lovely adaptations of familiar songs to enjoy with your baby while face to face, during nappy change, bath time, bedtime and gentle play. 

  
  

   

  Stage 1 (for babies 6 months to 15 months)

  
  Your baby will be ready for Stage 1 when around 6 months or older at the start of the term. This is when they will be sitting up, becoming more aware and ready to enjoy the music, the toys/props and social aspects of this class.
  
  If you have already completed one course of Stage 1 then we recommend coming back for a second term J. From a learning perspective, the first term is for you, the second term is for your baby. Did you know there are well over 100 signs covered in our Stage 1 course?!  If your baby is younger than 13/14 months then we whole-heartedly recommend repeating the Stage 1 curriculum. Attending Stage 1 for a second term enables you to continue to apply and embed some of our course ideas at home as your baby grows, becoming developmentally ready to respond more and more! 

  I can speak for all our teachers when I say that we love to see our existing babies stay on for a second term, and we treasure watching their communication and confidence grow.

  
  
  Toddling on to Stage 2  (for babies from 14 months to around 30 months)

  
  

  If your baby is a little older, you may feel ready for a class with a little more action and activity! Even if you have never done Sing and Sign before, in our Stage 2 class we still include the basic advice on how to sign with your baby and have some lovely songs to enjoy, covering concepts such as the weather, colours, being helpful, simple counting, opposites and even the beginnings of phonetic awareness, all enjoyed through our magic ingredient – music! There are opportunities to move about more, and plenty of toys and props to keep your baby amused…

   

  *If you’re still not sure which class is right for you and baby then please feel free to send me a message and we can have a chat and find the right fit your family.*

  If your baby attends a nursery, then it is ideal if the nursery staff understand your baby when he / she is signing to them!  Sing and Sign runs an excellent Nursery Affliation Programme to train and develop staff, on their own premises, in baby signing.  I work with the nursery to create an individual training session which suits their setting.

  Whether you are a parent or childcare provider, please contact me if you would like any further information.
