I love our Experience God curriculum from Mother Goose Time. I love the large pictures they send.
Rachel Valentine
The pictures on the front help Little Guy remember the story, and the story on the back (with interactive prompts) helps me tell the story fluidly rather than rambling.
Rachel Valentine
I am impressed with the quality of the workbooks, as well as the scope of what they cover.
Jennifer Barbosa
I am so glad we added these books to our curriculum! Not only have they helped solve our handwriting issue, but they provide a great way to add some advanced learning to our program.
Maria Flanigan
My son learned his numbers, letters, and sounds very early. I have tried numerous times to jump into what I naively perceived as the next step and it was met by frustration. Fortunately, More Math and More Literacy books are gently stretching and expanding his knowledge which will allow for a seamless transition to kindergarten and beyond.

It is very important to allow toddlers to learn at their own pace in their own way. Our toddler was quite proud of his final Little Learner’s work and carried it around with him the rest of the morning.

Little guy’s favorite thing about Little Learners is definitely the “tray play” ideas. They’re awesome!
Kris Bagley, Idaho
As a homeschooler, I love Experience Curriculum the best. I love how I how I can adapt it to my style of homeschooling.
Marlye Rodriguez, Florida
A year ago I opened my own home-based preschool. Experience Curriculum provided all of these tools for me. The kids have fun and experiencing new things, the parents love the little projects that the kids bring home every single day and I focus on teaching. I enjoy every second of it!
Alisha Hoekstra, Minnesota
I try new activities with the kids I would have never thought they would be able to do. Children surprise me every time! Experience Curriculum helps to get me thinking outside the box, and the kids thrive on it!
Melody Burton, Oklahoma
Saves us time and money as a school by streamlining lesson planning and inventory of supplies. We’ve noticed a huge increase in our student’s classroom participation and excitement to attend class every day.
Melody Burton, Kinder Kottage Christian Academy, Oklahoma
Saves us time and money as a school by streamlining lesson planning and inventory of supplies for our daycare aged students. This has been ideal and we love the material that is taught. We’ve noticed a huge increase in our students classroom participation and excitement to attend class every day.
Lori Bales, Utah
Having everything you need from fun to academics come directly to you!
Charyl Copher, Exploration Station Childcare and Preschool, Missouri
I love the fact that everything works together in unity with one another and that the Assessment Tools all work together to give our children a well rounded program.
Kim Heggins, Calvary Lutheran School, California
Where do I start…I love everything about Experience Curriculum, it has made teaching preschool a real joy!
Rachel Acheson, Little Edisons School, Washington
The children love the music!!! I hear them singing it throughout the center all day, and we get requests to sing the songs as well.
Jessica Yurgel, LMT Childcare, Michigan
I love teaching with Experience Curriculum because I know that each activity or play invitation I set out using the provided materials will meet the skills, goals and developmental benchmarks of each individual child and it is aligned with Michigan Standards!
Vanessa Gardner, The Learning Garden, Texas
It saves me so much time! The materials are very high quality and my students and parents love the monthly themes and materials. I love the consistency of the things we do each month with the variety of the monthly theme. I also love that each year as I teach, the themes are different without me having to spend the time to change it myself. It helps me to not get burned out. Customer service is also VERY helpful!
Michelle Suzuki, Playpourri International, Japan
We RAVE about Experience Curriculum to everyone and it is a very important thing that sets apart from other schools. Parents love the curriculum and love that every day is different and every day is packed with exciting things to learn and do.
Sandra Kuc, Vermonstors Childcare & Preschool, Inc., Vermont
Not only am I a teacher, but also a director. I don’t have spare time for lots of prep. Some of my staff teachers are willing to help but they often don’t have spare time either. Experience Curriculum takes this time factor into consideration, and because of that reason we are about to be better prepared for the children, as well as, offer a wonderful curriculum which is complete and meets developmentally appropriate practices.
Sue Balcom, Oak Grove Young Children’s School, Georgia
Experience Curriculum was purchased to help teacher’s ‘practice’ in their areas of weakness and bring continuity to the quality of our preschool experience. It removed conflict from our planning meetings about whose ideas were best. The focus moved to how to best adapt the Experience Curriculum activity to each class and when to replace the Experience Curriculum with a teacher choice. It fostered more sharing of experience and collaborative planning among teachers.
Letters and Phonics
Bring letters to life as children see, touch, hear and play with three featured letters per month. Sight word pointers and word puzzles are also included each month, so by the end of the year, preschoolers will have a deep understanding of the whole alphabet with an introduction to the Dolch pre-primary sight word list.
Concepts of Print and Reading Comprehension
Build your own library of quality fiction and non-fiction children’s literature. Each thematic study features a new book that comes with a Storytelling Scene and Character Pieces,
along with an I Can Read book for each child to encourage emergent reading skills.
Engage children with imaginative stories during Story Corner in each lesson of the Mother Goose Time Teacher Guide, and find the suggested book list of the month online in Member Resources.
Communication and Vocabulary
Hang these daily posters so children and parents can see the topic of the day. Use the vivid, full-color photos to encourage inquiry and investigation throughout the day.
Build vocabulary by playing suggested games that use the vocabulary cards.
Emergent Writing
Scribbling, drawing and making continuous marks are the early stages of writing. Children have many opportunities to develop eye-hand coordination and fine motor control with the My Little Journal and My Postcard activities, plus other monthly projects and games focused on building emergent writing skills.
Counting and Number Concepts
Colorful manipulatives make math fun and engaging. Watch children count, sort, problem-solve and expand math learning with self-check number cards and Math Story Cards. Each month features a new set of numbers and plastic counters. Collect Counting Cards each month for a complete set of 1-20 by the end of the year.
Reasoning and Logic
Encourage problem-solving with quality manipulatives focused on building with shapes.
Nurture cooperation and social skills with multiple logic games every month.
Music, Rhythm, Dance and Movement
Mother Goose Time includes a comprehensive music and movement program with monthly music CDs at no extra cost. Every month, you receive a new professionally produced, theme-based CD with songs by award-winning musicians and writers.
Children sing, dance and create music with homemade instruments or other dancing props.
STEAM Stations and Experiments
STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) is woven into the Mother Goose Time curriculum. A variety of tools and experiences are offered every month to support you in the implementation of a robust, discovery-based learning model.
Each lesson features a new STEAM Station you can set up and encourage children to explore all week long. Science is everywhere in the world around us, and high-quality STEAM experiences encourage both critical and creative thinking to solve problems and make sustainable life choices.
Creative Thinking and Artistic Expression
Encourage creativity with diverse textures, art materials and set-up ideas. Children benefit from open-ended Invitations to Create, where they will design abstract art and beauty, as well as the all-new Make & Play activities that encourage them to construct dramatic play props to use in everyday play.
Children have daily opportunities to explore the form and function of art while using critical thinking to express themselves and problem-solve with creativity.
Vanessa Gardner, The Learning Garden, Texas
It saves me so much time! The materials are very high quality and my students and parents love the monthly themes and materials.
Robin, Virginia
As soon as they walk in the door the children ask, ‘What are we doing with Experience Curriculum today?’ Their parents and I love it, too. Thank you so much for making my day easier!
Stacy Morgan, A Little bit of Sunshine Daycare, Delaware
As providers, we are the nurse, the counselor, the janitor and last – but certainly not least – the teacher! What I like about the Experience Curriculum (formerly Mother Goose Time) preschool curriculum is that I can open the box and instantly be ready to teach a quality and comprehensive program without all the prep!
Sarah, Maine
I love that everything comes sealed in daily bags. I just pull out the daily bag, review what we will be doing and I’m done. Simple, quick and easy!!
Amy, Discovery House, Michigan
I love it! I have struggled for three years to put together a quality program for my daycare children. I ran myself ragged running all over looking for all the items needed and usually ended up purchasing in quantities too large and spending more than I could afford. Experience Curriculum has helped my bottom line and my professional image to my parents.
Jennifer Abelson, Alberta, Canada
Experience Curriculum helps me by saving me a lot of time. I previously spent a lot of time printing and prepping units for my preschoolers. Now I only spend about 1-2 hours a week prepping and planning for the upcoming week. This allows me a lot of extra time to be with the kids. I also am very easily able to track and make assessments due to the clearly labeled journal and lesson plan books.
Karen Mueller, Guardian Angel Childcare, Maryland
Experience Curriculum has provided everything that the children need to enter school with a head start. It has given the children the confidence to succeed, to be proud of themselves and know that they are ready for the school year to come. As for the teachers, it is a time saving, thought out curriculum with crafts and activities included that covers all the basics and beyond. Proud user for over 18 years.
Bonny Gray, New York
Experience Curriculum (formerly Mother Goose Time) helps me to have a positive attitude each and every day. I look forward to my children arriving each morning. I love to see their faces when they look, wonder and then figure out something thanks to Experience Curriculum and to our ability to teach them.

These DVD’s are great ways to get the girls up and moving, increasing gross motor skills and coordination.
