In the wake of COVID-19, we know a lot of you are (a) stuck indoors with small children, (b) trying to keep your kids busy while preschools are canceled, or (c) attempting to work from home with littles underfoot. Perhaps more difficult? Because of social distancing, you’re also (d) unable to meet up with your MOPS group for solidarity, laughter and a killer monkey bread.

And in a time where so many of us feel helpless, this is a small way we can help: To support all quarantined families, we’re thrilled to share that Other Goose is 100% free for the next 3 weeks. 

Other Goose is a charter school-approved program (founded by a MOPS mom!) offering daily lesson prompts and challenges for kids ages 2-7. Having partnered with pediatric sleep doctors, licensed nutritionists, kids’ sustainability movements, authors, and positive parenting coaches, they believe parents are the first and greatest teacher in the lives and hearts of a child. And they know learning needn’t be fancy! No supply lists or flashcards necessary – just you, your kids, and 20 minutes daily with a carefully-crafted curriculum.

For those of you feeling overwhelmed and craving structure at home with the littles, use the link here to create a profile for your kids’ ages (2-7 years) and get started with super simple, no-fuss, easy-to-implement ideas and lessons for the kids to try every day. Think: watercoloring with coffee, family mailboxes, backyard treasure hunts, story swaps, and tangle mazes. 

Soon enough, our beloved MOPS groups will be meeting again. Until then, here’s the next-best solution for keeping the toddler out of the dog dish – and then some!
