Mother Goose on the Loose, Hatchlings: Ready to Hatch

Pilot Program

You are being invited to participate in the pilot of a new program: Mother Goose on the Loose, Hatchlings: Ready to Hatch! The Hatchlings program is for expectant families. It is based on the award-winning early literacy Mother Goose on the Loose program for children from birth to age 3 with their parents or caregivers https://mgol.net/ .

The purpose of the Hatchlings program is to increase awareness in early literacy skills, the importance of reading, and child development milestones. Expectant families who participate will be invited to attend a program prior to the arrival of their child. They will also be invited back to participate in another series of Hatchlings programs after their child is born. These programs will be fun and interactive to model bonding around early literacy activities. Families will be given materials, in the form of books and educational toys, to keep and use at home.

Parents will be asked to complete a program evaluation survey after each program session they attend. They will also receive a follow-up survey and may receive a follow-up phone call.
