My name is Jan and I've been teaching Sing & Sign classes since 2009 and love every minute of it! When I heard about Sing & Sign and all its great benefits, I couldn't wait to start with my daughter, Louisa. She loved the classes and benefited not only from the signing but also from the music, the social interaction and from learning social skills like taking turns, tidying up and sharing. After four terms of attending classes I became a teacher and later the franchisee for Coventry and Kenilworth!

When I had my second child I knew he would be seeing signs from an early age but didn't truly appreciate how much I would come to value his ability to sign. James had few words at the age of two but around 50 signs and could happily tell me at the breakfast table that he could see a 'bird' in the 'tree' in our 'garden'!

I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to help families across Coventry and Kenilworth to communicate with their babies before and during the early phases of speech, to ease those frustrations felt by baby and carer! It's such a privilege and so much fun to do for everyone that I can't imagine doing anything else!
