Finding A Program

The Parent-Child Mother Goose ProgramŽ is a group experience for parents and their babies and young children which focuses on the pleasure and power of using rhymes, songs, and stories together. Parents gain skills and confidence which can enable them to create positive family patterns during their children's crucial early years, and give their children healthy early experiences with language and communication. The Program is aimed at families in need of support for any of a variety of reasons. There is no cost to the parents who participate.
