Celebrating a Year of Mother Goose Time

I can hardly believe it’s been an entire year since the kids and I first started playing and learning with Mother Goose Time. In celebration of a full year of fun and accomplishment, I thought we’d celebrate by looking back at some of our favorite moments over the past 12 months. Mother Goose Time includes so many wonderful elements that encourage curiosity, promote skilled play,and spark imagination.

Mother Goose Time emphasizes skill sets critical to the unique developmental needs of the preschooler. Most activities span multiple skill sets and include a large dose of fun and play. The skills that kids acquire using Mother Goose Time can be observed in 7 major categories including:

social and emotional development
physical development
language and literacy (including some 2nd language acquisition)
mathematics and reasoning
social studies
science
creative development

The following is a collection of some of my favorite pictures of our Mother Goose Time journey grouped by these skill sets. It’s fun to look back and realize how much they were learning. At the time it just felt like we were having fun 🙂

Social and Emotional Development

Self Concept – expresses preferences, takes responsibility, and identifies and manages feelings
Self Direction – follows rules and routines, maintains attention, and transitions and adapts
Social Relationships – builds positive relationships, cooperates, and cares for and responds to others
