Partner of the Month

Our partner agencies provide us with a venue in which to meet parents of infants ages prenatal to two years old.

 

Every few months we highlight one partner agency and tell a little about them, their mission and how we interact with parents at their site.

About Us

Mother Goose: Read to Me is a charitable non profit with the goal of promoting literacy by providing free books and explaining to parents the importance of reading to children

Why Read to Babies?

Research shows that children whose parents read to them from infancy get a head start on skills they need to learn to read.

For Professionals
