Parent/Child Mother Goose Program
The Parent / Child Mother Goose Program is a group experience for families with babies and young children. Together, parents and children experience the spark of delight and magic that comes from enjoying a favorite song or rhyme. Over time, participants learn a repertoire of rhymes, songs, and stories that allow for a strengthened connection and bond within families.
Parents gain skills and confidence that help them create positive family patterns during their children’s crucial early years. At the same time, children benefit from enjoyable, healthy early experiences with language and communication. There is emphasis on nurturing the positive interaction between parent and child using touching, tickling, and cuddling.
