Event Details
Dr. Betsy Diamant-Cohen is coming to Indiana to present her Mother Goose on the Loose All Day training at four locations! The trainings will be worth 6 Library Education Units (6 LEUs) and will include information about baby brain development and school readiness, as well as a hands-on Mother Goose on the Loose session to teach participants how to implement the Mother Goose on the Loose program at their libraries.
Mother Goose on the Loose is the award-winning early-literacy program for children from birth to age 3 with their parents or caregivers and is an innovative program based on research which shows that children learn best through routine and repetition in a nurturing environment. Mother Goose on the Loose uses a variety of activities, such as rhymes, songs, puppets and instruments to foster speech development, motor coordination, self-confidence, and sensitivity to others.
