Monta Briant

Monta Briant

Monta Briant, a native of San Francisco, California; and her husband, Paul, of Cape Town, South Africa, began signing with their daughter, Sirena, when she was six months old. The family eventually learned hundreds of signs together. Monta was so moved by the experience of being able to communicate effectively with her then-preverbal daughter that she found herself telling anyone pushing a stroller about baby sign language. In 2001, Monta, a former professional yacht captain, decided to make a permanent career change that would enable her to stay home with Sirena-she founded Baby Sign Language Workshops. An enthusiastic speaker and self-proclaimed "baby sign language evangelist," Monta teaches workshops and signing classes throughout San Diego County and is also available for speaking engagements. Baby Sign Language Workshops classes have been the subject of feature stories in the San Diego Union-Tribune and on Fox 6 News in San Diego.
Monta Briant heard about baby sign language when she was expecting her first child. She began signing with her daugter, Sirena, when she was 6 months old, and was so impressed with the results that she felt impelled to share what she and her daughter had learned with other parents and cargivers of young children. Monta teaches all the classes and workshops herself. Sirena, now 3, helps out at some classes; demonstrating signing along with songs, games and story time. Monta Briant has achieved Sign2Me™ Presenters' Network Level I Certification, an official acknowledgement of her proficiencies and high professional standards.
