My Mommy School Philosophy


Mommy School is all about constructive fun with developmentally appropriate learning!
My philosophy is that toddlers learn through experiences. I believe that toddlers learn by seeing and doing, so Mommy School is intended to be action-based. I believe that most 2- and 3-year-olds are not yet ready for pencil/paper activities simply because they dont learn this way! My hope is to provide you with a few tools to help guide your toddlers learning. For me, the most exciting part about teaching my toddler is seeing the world through his eyes. He is starting to understand the world for the very first time! Because this is the first time that our toddlers are exposed to many concepts, please dont expect your toddler to catch on immediately. It can be difficult at times to gage your own success because toddlers cant always communicate exactly what they are learning. You will see their progress later on as they continue to build connections to the world around them! I compile a variety of activities in my Mommy School units, but I dont expect to do them all. Allow your child to experience letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other thematic elements in their own unique way. You will quickly see that your child thrives with some learning methods and not others. Pick and choose activities that work best for you and your child. I am trained as an Early Childhood Educator, and I taught First Grade for 4 years. However, I am building my Mommy School units from a mothers perspective. I am a Mom first, and a Teacher second. Remember that I have searched the web high and low seeking the very best toddler activities. I am not the genius behind all of themI simply gather them all in one place. Be sure to look at the credits section for more great ideas! Most of all have fun! Children will see your attitude, and will respond similarly. Enjoy discovering the world with your child.

Good luck!

He also used the pen name Theo LeSieg (his real last name spelled backwards.) He was born in 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Teds family was German and suffered a lot of struggles as German immigrants living in America during World War I. Teds father wanted him to be a college professor, but he was often bored by his studies. He quit college to draw cartoons and advertisements. Although his drawings were quickly loved, his first story (And to Think That I Saw it On Mulberry Street) was rejected 27 times before finally being published. Dr. Seuss became a star author and illustrator after The Cat in the Hat was published. When he died in 1991, he had written/illustrated 44 childrens books. His books have been translated into many different languages and featured in a musical, TV specials, and movies.
