Review of MESSYLEARNING FOR PRESCHOOLERS AND KINDERGARTNERS from PandaParents
I was excited to be given the opportunity to review MESSYLEARNING FOR PRESCHOOLERS AND KINDERGARTNERS, an integrated method of teaching preschoolers from PandaParents, even though my children are teenagers now.
Will It Enhance Your Homeschool
PandaParents created an immersive learning series called MESSYLEARNING for preschoolers and Kindergartners like yours. Don’t worry, it isn’t actually messy!
MESSY stands for
What You Get
- Retelling stories
- Reading together
- Using art to create and learn about shapes
- Playing games to learn to solve problems
Formats include eBooks, Print Books, and Read-To-Me Video Stories
How It Works
In just 30 minutes a day, for only 2-3 days a week, you and your preschooler will explore an integrated package of storybooks, read-to-me stories, workbooks, and creative activities.
Using a combination of real, physical storybooks and workbooks, combined with computer-based story videos and art projects, your child’s brain development will be stimulated and enhanced in this multi-sensory, multi-subject approach sure to delight any youngster!
How We Liked It
My kids are far too old for this curriculum, but I can see a lot of parents with preschoolers would enjoy using this product.
The unique curriculum stimulates those all-important neurological connections in young children by combining math, counting, color, geography, vocabulary, spelling, and even foreign language instruction wrapped in engaging stories and activities.
I love the idea of mixing together all the different subjects and topics. Each one then reinforces the next and your child will solidly learn a wide range of important ideas.
The only caution I would have is that the curriculum includes mention of Santa Claus, for those families who feel that is a sensitive subject, and the graphics and art work are a little jarring (but that you can tell for yourself really quickly by looking at the promotional material). Overall the method and the implementation of the product is strong and I can see that a lot of parents would enjoy using this with their children.
