Mother Goose Time
Anyone doing Mother Goose Time?
If so how is it going? How are you liking it? Comments etc... For myself I am liking it a lot so far. It is giving me some great ideas to run with and I love how colorful everything is and am not seeing $ at the thought of copying everything. Saving me time, fun for the kids. I am not finding it to be cookie cutter- but I don't let it get that way myself and am finding it to be full of a balance of open ended and slight non-invasive structure. We are liking it so far. Kids are excited to see what will be next, what will we do. Prep time is wonderful. Cons- I don't like the price- I do tell myself if I had to run around to collect all those supplies, copies, ink etc... I would probably be saving money. I am being cautious to stay out of the stores and use what I have and not spend a lot of extra money towards my program, use what I have. First time trying this and am looking to hear how everyone else is doing, both new like me, and seasoned users???? |
I subscribed to 2 months last year and we're reusing a lot of the stuff right now. I found it to be expensive (but you're probably right about saving money in the end). I could justify the expense when I wad full but when I only have 5 enrolled its not worth the cost. For me it also had too many crafts and stuff to do with my younger crowd (2-3 year). With most of the crafts you can just give the kids the supplies a little direction and they can make it themselves but it usually looks nothing like what it's supposed to (which was fine by me). If I tried to fit everything they suggested in a day the kids would have no free play. I wish they had a 2 or 3 day a week curriculum at half the price...then I would buy it again.

Then we started with September and I have an order in for Oct-Dec. It is expensive, but honestly I have so much on my plate right now that I need everything planned out and ready or it doesn't get done. We really like it so far as well. Lots of cute but educational activities. We will stick with it for awhile I think. |

There is enough if I want to make it a long day or if I want to shorten it up and just do a few things. I am liking it a lot so far. Anyone else doing Mother Goose Time? Would love to hear more of the day to day happenings from others using the program. I thought a lot of people were doing this program here. |
