Rhymes that Bind

Trainer: Centre for Family Literacy Trainer

Rhymes that Bind is a family literacy certificate training developed by the Centre for Family Literacy. Rhymes that Bind is an oral language program that promotes positive parenting. Adapted from the Parent-Child Mother Goose Program® in Toronto, Rhymes that Bind promotes oral language development in babies and toddlers, as parents learn to enjoy rhymes, finger plays, songs and simple movement games with their children in a safe, supportive peer group. The program involves circle time with parents and infants up to three years old, during which rhymes, songs and stories are shared. Parents are encouraged to tell children simple stories or stories about their families. Facilitators lead the program for 10 weekly sessions, for one hour per week. This program is run in collaboration with organizations in the community that are already providing services for families. 

Audience: Participants who take the Rhymes that Bind Facilitator training will be able to facilitate as well as coordinate the program.

Registration Deadline is Friday, October 7, 2016.
