Leslie Falconer gave the club an overview of her company, Mother Goose Time.
Mother Goose Time provides parents, teachers and childcare staff with tools they can use to deepen the learning experiences of kids. It helps children develop the skills they need in an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world.
The tools are not based on traditional education. The course developers follow learning models from all over the world, including Zimbabwe, Australia, New Zeeland.
The developers use curriculum that emphasizes new approaches to learning. For example, instead of emphasizing ‘school readiness,’ they focus on a child’s holistic development and instead of standardized testing, their tools focus on a child’s ability to identify patterns, sort and problem solve.
Mother Goose Time also has a subscription service where educators, childcare staff and families can have lesson planning and training tools delivered right to their doorstep. Those tools include Teacher Guides, Discovery Bags for hands-on learning and Daily Videos.
