About

At ‘Peekaboo’ I will teach you how to communicate with your baby through the use of British Sign Language signs. I will teach your family the skills you need so that you can use the language in your home and in the wider community on a daily basis. It is a valuable life skill that I will teach you in a fun and relaxed environment. You can start learning when your baby is at any age; the younger the better and most babies start to respond around the age of 6 to 9 months. Classes are suitable for those aged 0 to 2 years. However, older children are welcome.

The benefits of learning baby signing leads to;

Improved child’s self esteem
The encouragement of early development of speech
Reduced stress and frustration
The ability to communicate babies’ thoughts and feelings before they develop speech.
Improved child’s memory development
The opportunity to communicate from a distance if needed or in silence
The opportunity to socialise and meet other parents and babies
Creating a special bond with your infant and facilitate a close relationship between parent and child
Improved literacy because the infant tends to be more interested in books if these are read and accompanied by signs.
Understanding how and when to introduce new signs

As well as the above the classes enable your children to have fun,

Learn signed songs
Play Peek-a-Boo games
Meet ‘Joey’, the signing puppet
Make new friends…

… Whilst you have a coffee or a cup of tea!
