The Parent/Child Mother Goose Program® introduces adults and children to the pleasure and power of using rhymes, songs, and stories together. Parents gain skills and confidence that can enable them to create positive family patterns during their children’s crucial early years. Children benefit from enjoyable, healthy early experiences with language and communication. There were over 60 Mother Goose Program® sessions offered in the Kamloops community from October 2015 to June 2016.
