Parent-Child Mother Goose Info

Family Life invites you and your children to come along to the Parent-Child Mother Goose Program®.

Parent-Child Mother Goose® is an evidence based program that strengthens attachment and interaction between caregivers and their children through the pleasure and power of using rhymes, songs and oral stories.

Parent Child Mother Goose will help you:

  • Enjoy learning rhymes, songs and oral stories together

  • Improve your child’s language, preliteracy, and literacy skills
  • Have some fun with your child

Who is this program for?

How can we support you?

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.

What can I expect?

Each session is an hour long, typically run in the Bayside City Council area for 6-8 weeks.

Each session you’ll learn fun, easy-to-follow songs and rhymes along with ideas for incorporating gentle touch, movement and cuddles into your relationship. There’s no pressure to perform, just an opportunity to connect, play and enjoy being together.
