Level One and Two Parent-Child Mother Goose training
Full Parent-Child Mother Goose Program Certification involves:
  • Attending a two-day Level One Facilitator Training Workshop, and
  • Co-facilitating 30 program sessions while satisfactorily completing a formal process of self-evaluation.

Following initial Level One training, facilitators may be employed to co-facilitate a P-CMG program.

Even if an organisation is not in a position to offer a Parent-Child Mother Goose program, our two day Level One training workshop offers transferable skills staff can apply to many areas of community service.
