Collaboration for infants & toddlers
Transform Your Infant/Toddler Classrooms with Dana Staser Consulting & Mother Goose on the Loose
The basic Mother Goose on the Loose was designed for children birth to age 3 with their parents and caregivers to promote the development of the Whole Child, to enhance parent/child bonding and to provide a joyful early literacy environment that focuses on learning through play. It uses a variety of activities, such as rhymes, songs, puppets, a flannel board and felt pieces, books, and musical instruments to foster speech development, early language and math skills, motor coordination, imagination, exploration, self-confidence, and sensitivity to others.
