Testimonials

Betsy Diamant-Cohen’s Mother Goose on the Loose training was the most transformational workshop for our staff at the San Francisco Public Library.”

“Mother Goose on the Loose is perfection.  It should be the benchmark/touchstone for baby and toddler programming…the practical advice you gave based on experience was priceless.”

Margaret Wells, Librarian, Orlando Public Library
Orlando, FL

 

The workshop you conducted today was by far the best and most informative.  You were knowledgeable, articulate, enthusiastic, and entertaining!  I’ve tried using shaker eggs, rhythm sticks, and music but what you did today was 1,000 times better and worked beautifully.”

If your library has adopted Every Child Ready to Read @ Your Library, Mother Goose on the Loose will enhance this program by focusing on the key elements that create a warm, caring and loving library environment for children and their parents/caregivers.”
