Glenn Davocol - Kent, WA

"Wonderful teacher - would love to learn more from you! Class exceeded my expectations!"

Lara Lee Barksdale - Lynnwood, WA

"I think it's wonderful that you offer this class. I feel it's been very empowering for both me and my husband in our ability to communicate with Maya. Learning the signs in context (with the baby) helped me remember them. Your tips and visuals for remembering signs helped a lot...and your jokes, too!"

Janet Arkills - Seattle, WA

"I feel much more confident than just reading the book myself. It helps to see the signs and ask questions. Coming to class helps keep me motivated to keep signing with my baby."

"This was an excellent class. Very informational and entertaining . . . better than just reading a book."

Jennifer Scott - Seattle, WA

"Your stories and examples are great. You are a fantastic teacher and are great with the babies."

Wendy Newsom - Seattle, WA

"Nancy, I just wanted to follow up with you to say again how much we enjoyed your classes. In the last couple weeks, Lucy's signing has exploded. She now has ten signs which she uses regularly - NURSE, MORE, BOOK, EAT, CAT, DOG, MOMMY, DADDY, HELP and SLEEP. It is really amazing to see a ten month old communicate like that. She also has two spoken words - HI and THIS. I do think the signing encourages her to speak. Thanks for everything. We talk you up to people all the time."

Amy and Rich Green - Seattle, WA                                                                                                                                   

"At first I thought we would just buy a book and go with it but we are so glad we took the class. The content was taught with such excitement that we learned very easily. Nancy is GREAT with babies! The information more than met our expectations. Everything was very practical and very fun to learn, and learning animal signs and songs was a treat!"

Jen and Mark Davidson - Seattle, WA

"Nancy does a fantastic job covering the most popular signs you need to communicate with your baby...a great class and instructor for all newbie parents."

Al and Michelle Franz - Sammamish, WA

"Great to see our baby sign back - fast results! Nancy kept the class fun, not high stress."

Lesley Carney - Mill Creek, WA

"The class is a fantastic environment to bring the signs to life. You just don't get that from a book. Also, your teaching style is excellent."

Dan Evans - Bellevue, WA

"Creative and fun ways for learning . . . I appreciated the weekly review and was surprised by how much we learned in four weeks."

Heather Webb - Edmonds, WA

"Nancy was wonderful - using great stories and memory cues to help me remember the signs. I thought class was wonderful - don't change a thing.  The Roo-minder Rings were great to take home to my husband who couldn't attend the class."

Kelly Falen - Seattle, WA

"This class was way beyond what we expected. The content is so valuable. The exact value goes on and on. It's already taking the frustration out of communication with our child."

Diane Thompson - Kirkland, WA

"We had so much fun and the signs were all so relevant and useful! Without a doubt, I would recommend this class to friends and family members. I feel very confident to sign with my baby, and she is already signing back. I think signing will greatly improve our ability to communicate!"

Donna Hill - Seattle, WA

An update 6 months after class...

"I've been meaning to email you and let you know how amazing it has been to be able to communicate with my 13 month old daughter, Stella Mae. I took your class last September, when Stella Mae was 7 months old, and I would stop short of calling myself a skeptic. I thought Stella Mae might pick up a few signs here and there and it would be fun just to try. How wrong I was! I started off, of course, doing the basic MORE and MILK and CHANGE signs with not too much result. I continued signing with her and added a few more here and there, when they would come up in conversation. Suddenly, about two months ago, she started signing them all back to me! I know you said this would happen, but like I said, I was just not so sure! She now signs MORE, MILK, CHEERIOS, PLEASE, THANK YOU, BIRD, FISH and most helpful of all - HELP ME! Now, instead of squealing or whining when she can't reach something or drops something or wants a certain toy, she just signs HELP ME PLEASE, which, like you said, totally reduces the frustration she and I would both feel were we guessing what the other was saying! It is an amazing feeling and I want to thank you again for your wonderful instruction and I have recommended your class to many other friends with new babies!"

"Both my husband and I are sad the class is ending. We have enjoyed coming each week and learning new signs. You made learning so enjoyable. Thank you!"

Katie Foote - Kent, WA

"This class was wonderful and beneficial for preverbal communication in our center! It has helped with manners, mealtime, potty training, discipline, and has given the children a way to express themselves!"

Kate Peterson and Aislinn Thomas of The Early Learning and Development Center - Seattle, WA

"Just want to extend my thanks to you for the fun classes we took with you. We stuck with signing and are reaping the rewards. Madeleine is now 14 months old and has an ever-growing vocabulary. One of her first signs, at around ten and a half months, was READ. We loved that she could ask to be read to so early, and I'm certain we've read to her far more than we would have otherwise. We were astonished and delighted when she started signing BIRD and DOG whenever we saw them on our walks. Now that she's walking I always bust a gut when she does the PLAY sign while toddling over to toys or when we go to the park."

Michelle and Simon Gale - Seattle, WA

"This class was so much fun and Nancy was so friendly and knowledgeable - it made for a great learning environment. We loved this class! John was a skeptic before we started but Nancy made him into a believer! I'm only sorry that it is a four week class - I would have loved more!"

Michele and John Poquiz - Lynnwood, WA

An update a few months after class...

"We attended your Hop to Signaroo class when our baby Joshua was almost 8 months old.  We really enjoyed your class and practiced signing pretty enthusiastically for the first few weeks.  However, after a while my husband began to let the signing slide.  My mom and I continued on, even though Joshua didn't really seem responsive.  Finally, Joshua signed his first sign - FINISHED!  We were amazed!  He now uses this sign often during meal time, bath time, etc.,  and it is such an improvement over his previous method of communicating that he was finished, which was crying and screaming!  Yesterday, when he was eating a snack, he signed to us MORE, MORE.  My family and I have been so astonished and impressed!  Thank you so much for teaching us these wonderful skills; it has been such a joy being able to communicate with our baby at such an early age."

"I liked how you had ideas to make the signs relatable for home! Taking the class made me use the signs consistently, so it became natural."

Tracy Nielson - Seattle, WA

"Very fun and engaging and the tricks for remembering the signs were very helpful. It seemed like the class went too fast...time flies when you're having fun! We very much enjoyed your approach and methods."

Loren and Deborah Matlick - Seattle, WA

"I liked the tricks, tips and stories to remember the signs the best. I had taken another ASL class and remember almost nothing, but I feel this will stick."

Mark Hill - Seattle, WA

"The best aspect was learning a way to bridge the gap between my baby's needs and my ability to meet those needs. I loved everything! Your humor was so helpful in getting into the groove of class each week!"

Bridget Gregory - Seattle, WA

"The songs were great and I liked the stories to associate with the signs. Being able to see the signs live (not in a book or on TV) was great. Love the Roo-minder Rings, especially the Mealtime Set."

Shannon Sommer - Seattle, WA

"You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks for making class so much FUN!!"

Meredith Bland - Seattle, WA

Brenda and Brandon Day - Seattle, WA

"The most beneficial aspect of the class was the class participation and willingness of Nancy to help with specific family needs. Loved it!"

Janet Callahan - Edmonds, WA

"I really enjoyed your class and looked forward to it every week. I thought you were very professional yet you created a very casual, comfortable atmosphere that worked well with little pre-toddlers. I enjoyed hearing your ASL stories and appreciated the fact that you were very approachable and available to answer questions after class and via email. I found the games we played in class (Bingo, etc.) and songs off the Pick Me Up Music CD to be very helpful in memorizing and learning the signs. I felt that the signs you taught us were the right amount for beginners (not too many but not too few) and were appropriate, also. You were very relaxed and encouraging. Thanks for a great class!"

Rachel Lamkin - Port Orchard, WA

"You're a wonderful teacher - very clear and caring, too."

Laurie and Tim Scearce - Seattle, WA

"Thank you so much. This class was a blast! Your attitude and enthusiasm is amazing!" /p>

Sarah and Ren Chandler - Seattle, WA

"I think every parent should take this class. I'm looking forward to being less frustrated when Dylan can tell me what he wants. Thank you so much! You were a wonderful teacher!"

Shannon and Jace McMaster - Shoreline, WA

An update a few months after class...

"Just this week Dylan started signing MILK and MORE! (He just turned 10 months.) We're so excited and I thought we should let you know! We had a great time and now it's totally paying off! Thanks again for all your great help and instruction."

An update about a year and a half after class...

"Lately when Dylan has been waking up he's wanted his diaper changed, and instead of just saying or signing DIAPER which could mean anything having to do with his diaper he's been using the sign for CHANGE. Maybe it's a precursor to wanting to potty train! He's become so verbal but it's still difficult to understand him, so the signs really help. We use the sign for CALM a lot. When Dylan is really freaking out and crying we'll do the sign for CALM. For some reason just telling him to calm down doesn't work - probably because we're having to yell to be heard over his screams, and that's not calming at all! When we do the sign he'll stop crying and say 'Calm, okay' and then we can tell him what we need from him."

"The most beneficial aspect of this class was learning in person with an instructor rather than with a video or book only. Thanks for the fun class. I'm sorry it was over so quickly."

Donna Ellis - Seattle, WA

"You have a great presentation style. Classes were both educational and enjoyable and just enough information each time, not too overwhelming. A nice four weeks - thanks."

Laura Spring - Seattle, WA

"Learning to communicate with my baby is so satisfying and seeing her realize that she's understood is priceless. Nancy, you're a blast and you make learning fun. The games and songs were especially helpful."

Melissa Mitchell - Seattle, WA

"I'm so glad I took the class! The games and songs really helped to learn and remember the signs. I feel very confident and excited to be using signs with Ayah!"

Sabina Lahlou - Seattle, WA

"We very much enjoyed the class and learned a ton. Being shown the signs in person versus just seeing them in a book or video was the most beneficial aspect of the class. You're an excellent teacher with an awesome personality. Thanks for doing what you do."

Arica and Mike Sykes-Dawley - Seattle, WA

"Thank you for your organized and professional approach!"

Michele Starkey - Seattle, WA

"Nancy, you were absolutely awesome! You made it so easy to be energized so late in our day."

Jen Lemmer - Seattle, WA

"Your enthusiasm and sense of humor made the class tons of fun!"

Jen and Scott Schill - Seattle, WA

"Thank you again for the class. It was such a fun, positive way to get our signing going. I won't hesitate to recommend your class to others."

Susan Wright Geiger - Seattle, WA

"Great material. The games made it fun and interesting and the funny stories for the memory cues were the most beneficial part. Even in small amounts, it (signing) will be helpful."

Andrew and Betsy Barash - Seattle, WA

"The class was great, very interactive with effective learning activities and games. Nancy is a wonderful teacher. She makes what could be dry subject matter fun to learn. We appreciate her humor."

Wes and Lisa Hanna - Seattle, WA

"Adrienne and I took your class last August. I thought I'd provide a quick update on how we're doing. I tried to keep up as much signing as I could (sometimes it's hard to remember!), but Adrienne was listening, watching and learning. She first started signing MORE in the fall. Then shortly after that she did ALL DONE. She followed that up with BED. Now she always tells me when she's ready for bed, and I get very little fuss from her! I definitely think signs have helped our bedtime and nap routines from becoming crying struggles! Then I noticed that she was signing CHANGE whenever I changed her diaper. Last week, we were having lunch and I realized that she had been signing PLEASE for a few days! I asked her if she wanted 'More veggies please', and she signed MORE PLEASE. I was so happy to have picked up on it and thrilled that she signed two words in a row! In the last couple days, she's added CHEESE and CUP. Wow! It's been so much fun to watch her progress and to communicate with her."

Theresa Venhuis - Seattle, WA

"The class was extremely well organized, easy to follow and tons of fun. Each class was not only informative but a great pleasure. Thank you."

Michelle and William Tyee - Seattle, WA

Dave and Teresa Holt - Edmonds, WA

"The information taught in class was great. I liked that you elaborated on the origins of signs and possible mix-ups. Also, I liked that the class covered a wide range of the basics. Your positive, straight forward approach has taught me to try new signs with friends and family. You're a very good instructor. I looked forward to class because it was great fun and we learned something new fairly easily."

(Uncle) Chris Holt - Seattle, WA

"I thought class was great. You have a good energy and good tips for remembering the signs. It was lots of fun doing this with our PEPS group."

Lynn Carr - Seattle, WA

"The most beneficial aspects of the class were the amount of signs, practicing, being able to ask for specific signs and great handouts to refer to later. Thanks much!"

Anne Dahlin - Seattle, WA

"Class was very helpful! I'm glad we took it instead of just using the book!"

Kelly and Kevin Cook - Seattle, WA

Sarah Scoltock - Seattle, WA

"Class covered what we expected and more. I was able to retain many more signs than I had expected. We appreciated the review each week and the cues which helped us remember more signs. Great class. This will help us greatly with meeting our baby's needs."

Todd and Shannon Hofmeister - Seattle, WA

"Thank you for being a wonderful teacher. We all had a great time learning and putting signs to use in our everyday lives. Thank you for making the class fun, enjoyable and a great experience. We're looking forward to keeping you posted on Alexander's progress soon!"

Matt and Christine Hume - Redmond, WA

"Lots of fun. We looked forward to class each week."

Greg Baumgardner and Dwyn Armstrong - Seattle, WA

"I just wanted to thank you for the fabulous class! My mother and I really enjoyed it and it was worth every penny. I had been signing a little with my daughter on my own, but your class really got me motivated. It was really fun too. I used to teach and I appreciate an excellent teacher when I find one. Thanks!"

Monica Payson - Seattle, WA

An update a week after class...

"No signs from Haley yet...but tonight I signed to her, 'Where's the light?' without saying the words, and she looked right at the light. Then I signed, 'Where's the picture?' again without saying the words, and she looked at one of the pictures on the wall that she often points to. I have to say that even though she's not signing yet, she's really good at pointing and motioning for the things she wants, which most babies probably are. I'm just not sure I'd be as aware of what she was trying to do if we hadn't started signing, though. She pays more attention to what I'm trying to say, but I definitely pay more attention to what she's trying to say, too. I can already tell that we're avoiding a lot of frustration. Thanks again! This is so much fun."

An update two weeks after class...

"Haley signed MORE for the first time at lunch yesterday. She also responded appropriately to a question in Japanese for the first time this weekend which was pretty exciting."

"Thanks - it was a blast! I'd really like to learn even more of the language now."

Kam Ostriker - Edmonds, WA

"Lily is very stimulated and intrigued by the signs. It is thoroughly enjoyable watching her learn to communicate. Thank you."

Rob Lachman and Robin Nagel- Seattle, WA

"I loved it (the class)! You're hilarious!"

Bobbi Ostrum - Kirkland, WA

"The class was very helpful. Seeing the signs in person allowed me to learn them faster and retain them more easily."

Nancy Dahlberg - Seattle, WA

"I'm so glad that you came and spoke to my second PEPS group. Not only did it help them, it motivated me to recommit to signing with MacKenzie. It took her a while to start signing and then she just got it, and now it is the coolest thing ever. She starts to get frustrated and I say, 'What do you need? Show me your sign' and she does it. She knows all the food signs and drinks (MILK, WATER, JUICE), and HELP and a few random ones (FLOWER, FISH, AIRPLANE). She picks them up so quickly now that she understands the concept. I'll say, 'That's a monkey. Here's the sign for monkey', and she'll try it. Some of the signs are a little mutated, but she's consistent and knows what she's trying to say. I wanted to share that with you. We're completely reaping the benefits of your class, so thanks!"

Julie Averill - Seattle, WA

"This class was definitely worth the time and money, and I would definitely recommend it to friends and family members. Continuous practice, reinforcement and Nancy's relentless optimism were the most beneficial aspects of this class."

"I'm looking forward to Janelle being able to communicate with her two and a half year old sister who is learning signing also. I loved your humor and look forward to a follow up class. "

Danyel Delker - Woodinville, WA

"I can't say enough good things about sign language. Also everyone can't believe at just a little over two how much Noelle talks! She tells stories, nursery rhymes and can repeat words correctly the first time she tries. I've noticed that she watches us intently (and everything else) when we're talking or reading which I think came from watching us sign to her - she picks things up so quickly!"

Sandi Young - Mukilteo, WA

"Most informative and professional class we've taken."

Iain and Sarah Starr - Seattle, WA

"The games and songs really reinforced what we learned, and I also thought the weekly reviews were helpful. Nancy, you are so enthusiastic and outgoing. It's obvious that you really enjoy teaching your classes. The class is a really fun environment, and I looked forward to it each week."

Kara Levinson - Issaquah, WA

"The most beneficial aspect of the series was learning the signs in a fun environment and the songs and games made it even easier. The interaction with the group made learning easy, too. We're looking forward to communicating with Lucy."

Amanda and Chris Parkhurst - Seattle, WA

"I thought your class was AWESOME!!! I learned so much!!"

Hollie Walsh - Seattle, WA

"Our baby, Skyler, started signing MORE and EAT about a month ago. He just turned 9 months and he has learned his name sign. We are just so excited! We are now starting to sign in sentences since he seems to be picking it up so quickly. We are teaching him his alphabet. Now we can sing and sign his ABC's and he will flick his fingers around trying to make the letters. We just wanted to let you know that your class has been working for us and we are so happy! In the next 6 months to a year we will definitely be taking your follow up class."

Kristen and Eric Amano - Shoreline, WA

"The weekly review of signs helped cement the concepts in our minds and hands. The whole family is enjoying signing with Sage. Now even her big brother loves to sign! Thanks Nancy, for a great course!"

Shannon Boyce - Everett, WA

"Class was very fun and very well put together. There was a good variety of activities with the instruction, books, songs and games! The basic needs signs were the most beneficial and we use them a lot. Many caught on within just a few weeks and we are very pleased. Signing will be really neat to use until my daughter speaks, and I would like to use if once she speaks, too!"

Destini Ramm - Mountlake Terrace, WA

"Seeing the signs live was the most beneficial aspect of the class. We are very glad we took this class with you!"

Aimee and Tom Huff - Shoreline, WA

"The games and reviews were helpful. You have a very nice way of leading and teaching."

"The class has already helped us communicate with your son. Thank you so much!"

Beth and Mike Shanaman - Seattle, WA

"Even though Matthew is too young to have the manual dexterity to sign, I already notice his recognition of the three simple signs we are using. I can see that we are going to benefit greatly from signing for early communication. Nancy's enthusiasm for babies and signing made the class!"

Eileen Rubenstein - Bellevue, WA

"The class has been beneficial even before my son can sign. The potential to know we'll be able to communicate is wonderful. It was good to see the new words and then do a song or activity to bring the new things home. The class gave us the basics and more to work on in the future."

Jen Stout - Lynnwood, WA

"The information taught absolutely met my needs and expectations! Repetition and Nancy's encouraging, smiling, animated face were the most beneficial aspects of the series! The music CD was very fun and helpful. Thank you!"

Jenna Buffington - Seattle, WA

"I have felt very rewarded with the results and pace of the class. The most beneficial aspect of the class was getting to see the signs in person and having Nancy correct our mistakes.

Andrea Coccione - Bellevue, WA

"Learning was fun and Nancy made the signs easy to remember. We enjoyed the music session."
