The Mother Goose program ran for nearly 6 years, the primary audience was families who had a baby under the age of 2 years. The aim of the Mother Goose program was to model a way for parents / carers to share simple board books, songs and action rhymes with their babies to encourage a love of reading and language.

The program was run on a small group basis, providing resources for up to ten families per module. We ran each module for a four week period and we aimed to provide two modules during a given school term period. Sessions were run at our Lake Haven and Tuggerah branch libraries.

In September 2010, Mother Goose was replaced by two other baby / toddler programs devised by Dr James Thomas.
