Julia Smith says As a budding mompreneur, Joann is an inspiration to me! She has created a name for herself by doing something she is truely passionate about. I love that she's supportive of other mompreneurs (like myself) too! While I haven't taken her class my son did learn sign language and it was very beneficial to us. With JoAnne's personality and knowledge I'm sure (and I've heard) that her classes are wonderful.

Mackenzie says Joann is so generous, a great resource and genuinely cares about each family she comes in contact with! I highly recommend her to everyone!!!

Phuong says Joanne's classes and storytime at the library are wonderful. I really appreciate her enthusiasm for teaching. She makes signing so fun and accessible.

Marisela says I have only seen Joann a few times at different events, but I love her enthusiasm and passion!

Casey R says I have a 21 month old and we have taken 3 sessions of Sign4Baby with Joann. I still can't believe how my daughter is continuing to use her signs and learn new ones. Sign4Baby isn't just for babies, it's for toddlers too! We love Joann and her ability to connect with parents and their children. I have learned so much as a signing mom and as a parent. Thank you for doing what you do!

Lara says Joann has taken her knowledge of ASL and coupled it with her enjoyment of children to create a wonderful business and valuable resource for parents. As a business owner who is lucky enough to network with Joann, I feel lucky to have her as a contact and friend as she is not only committed to her own success, but really works to help other mompreneurs achieve theirs as well!

Diane Anderson says I have 14 month old triplets. Joann showed constant patience and really engaged our children in her songs, toys and actions. She was always there on time even if we couldn't make it. I always brag about taking her class and hope that as I pass the word others will take notice in such an enriching class. Thanks Joann! The Anderson Triplets.

Noah Wardrip says Our daughter, my wife, and I all enjoyed the baby sign classes Joann put on in Scripps Ranch. They were beneficial to all of us and our daughter has been signing now for almost 1 year. Being able to communicate since she was 11 months old prevented a lot of frustration for us and now that she is speaking more, being able to say more complex words through sign is fun for all of us.

Aline Grigorian says Joann is amazing! Her energy and enthusiasm are addictive and we have so much fun in class and at her storytimes. My one year old has already started signing and I love being able to understand her. Thank you Joann for Sign4Baby.

Danielle says We've been going to Joann's Sign4Baby Storybook Time at libraries all over the county for about a year now and LOVE watching, learning and dancing with her. I cannot wait to start taking classes with my youngest in a few short months. Joann inspired me to continue signing to my son and I truly believe that because of it he started talking a lot sooner than I expected.

Nadia says We look forward to our weekly class and biweekly story time. My seven month old son has so much fun. Joann is a wonderful instructor for parents and children. I enjoy the parenting tips and local resources.

Jennifer Humora says I knew the name Sign4Baby long before I met Joann having seen it everywhere I went with my children...the local toy store, an indoor play company, the family-friendly coffee shop, parenting classes and a San Diego Baby festival where I first saw Joann live on stage signing to the songs of our favorite kids' band, her happy face beaming from the stage. Two years later I know first hand Joann's commitment to helping other moms with their businesses without expecting anything in return because I am one of those women! She offers terrific suggestions, makes introductions and sings the praises of the companies she connects with. Thank you Joann =-) Sign4Baby offers something that many moms want and need...a way to communicate with their children. Her "product" also happens to come from an irreplaceable package of goodness named Joann Woolley!

Dr. Fresno says Joann is a very focused and well organized business woman who has mastered the art of promoting the services she provides. Her networking ability is exceptional and all those who meet her feel her undeniable charm. As a sign language teacher she touches the lives of many families and as a business woman she inspires those that work with her. I am sure she will succeed in any venture that she takes on. She is determined,goal oriented and over all very professional.

Stacey Ross says Joann exudes a win spirit, providing a wealth of information, inspiration and business sense in the San Diego community. Her skills and personal touch have made her a popular instructor and colleague. I hope more families will gain from her services and resources.

Nicole says Love Sign4baby the outdoor classes are great and my daughter loves them. I love seeing her so engaged in her experiances and storytime plus signing.GREAT!!!

Angela says I love sign4baby! Joann is an amazing teacher. She is knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and it shows in her work. Her class proved to be so beneficial after the first session...even up until now, almost a year later. Joann answered all of our questions, and led the class with extreme ease while the children played/interacted with her. Sign4Baby has a lot of valuable tools and resource to offer, not only to her students, but to the entire community.

Patty Kotnik says I enjoy Joann's style of teaching and interaction with the kids during our Sign4Baby classes. She has a real knack for keeping the kids' attention. As a first time Mom I really appreciate her helpful parenting tidbits. My son and I have both learned a lot and enjoyed it!

Marla Garcia says We absolutely LOVE Sign4Baby. My daughter Ysabelle and I have received so much positive insight into signing from Joann. Ysabelle started classes when she was 5/6 months and at 1 1/2 she is still having fun learning new signs and uses them every day. My older girls have learned how to sign as well which helps us stay on track and be consistent. Sign4Baby classes teach you and your family a lifelong skill of knowledge while opening communication between you and your little ones. These sessions benefit the parent as an adult as well as enhance and encourage the learning your baby will receive in the future. Her support for local and Mom owned businesses sets a positive example for many others to follow. My family and I feel wonderful about our decision to take these classes and become part of Sign4Baby. I look forward to what Joann will offer next.

Jeff Kurtz says While I haven't taken Joann's class, and my kids are all talking now, she did drop me some tidbits that we were able to use for our kids when they were young. Very valuable! I can only imagine the class is making a huge impact for others, given the benefit we received in just a few short conversations with Joann.

Allison Wardrip says Joann is an awesome resource in our community! Her signing story times at local libraries and her signing classes are fun, educational, and a huge help for parents who want to teach their children to communicate! We took our daughter to 3 sets of Joann's classes and our daughter LOVED it! She caught on to signing very quickly and was able to communicate with us easily, before she was able to talk. Now, at 21 months, our daughter is talking more, but she still loves to sign! Since meeting Joann, we have been so grateful for the skills she taught us and we love how signing has enriched our lives. Thanks Joann!!

Elizabeth says My daughter and I stumbled upon a Signing Story time at a local library. I am so glad that we did! We attend Story time every other week and have taken classes with Joann as well. She is a great teacher and my daughter loves to interact with her. I really enjoy taking my daughter to class and learning from Joann.

Laurie says We LOVE Sign4Baby! Joann is an amazing teacher and, most importantly is captivating to our baby. Her Library Story times are a permanent part of our week, as are her classes. My 8 month old thoroughly enjoys Joann, and so do I! Sign4Baby offers San Diego families a unique opportunity to deepen our connections with our young babes and with each other. Every session opens doors to the types of parent discussions that truly save new parents such as me. Joann facilitates healthy discussion and offers an abundance of useful tools, tips and feedback. I come home from each session rejuvenated and motivated to be the best mom I can be. Joann is also a true champion for mom-owned business and is a role model to all mothers looking to strike a balance between being 100% available for our children and providing the means to keep putting food on the table. We are lucky to have Joann and Sign4Baby!

Emily says I voted! Wish there was a sign class near me (South Carolina)

Amy Saloner says Joann is not only an amazing teacher, she is also a valuable resource for parenting success. If that wasn't enough, she is as much about promoting other other other 'mom' businesses as she is about promoting the benefits of her craft. I am blessed to learn and collaborate with Joann!
