About the Parent-Child Mother Goose program

Parent-Child Mother Goose Australia participants

There is nothing more important than the attachment between parent and child. The Parent-Child Mother Goose Program builds on this essential relationship and gives parents the tools that make daily life with a young child more fulfilling.

In the Parent-Child Mother Goose Program, parents (or carers) and young children between the ages of 0 and 4 come together to enjoy songs, rhymes and stories.

Each group meets with two facilitators once a week throughout the year. Together, parents and children in the program:

experience the spark of delight and magic that comes from enjoying a favourite song or rhyme
learn and retain a repertoire or rhymes, songs and stories
enjoy strengthened bonding.

These skills, pleasures and insights are then taken home and shared between parent and child through daily activities. The songs and rhymes can also be shared with partners, older children, grandparents and friends.
