With homeschooling and distance learning at the forefront many parents are asking themselves: "Should I try it?" and "Can I do it successfully?" Navigating homeschooling for younger children especially can feel overwhelming. Time is a top concern - how could I possibly do it good enough between work, chores, making meals, errands, extracurricular activities, etc.?
Other Goose is a novel, nature-based homeschooling method for kids aged 2-7 that offers a charter school-approved curriculum with a "no-pressure" approach to learning. It can be completed in less than a half-hour per day!
There's no supply list with Other Goose, no expensive books to buy, no prep work, and is 100% flexible and affordable. The majority of supplies needed to complete the lessons are found in your backyard or on a walk with your child! Parents have access to over 365 researched-based (and kid-loved) early learning prompts to spark connections, curiosity, and consistency in kids. Perhaps the best part is Other Goose is self-paced and builds seamlessly into a parent's existing schedule. Sounds simple, right? It is. Effective? Absolutely!
Designed to cut out "fuss management"- which is a whole lot of wasted time found in traditional learning institution - Other Goose offers short 20-minute lessons (in five-minute increments) specifically designed for a child's age, education level, and learning capabilities. Other Goose bridges the gap between memorization and hands-on learning. Younger learners are introduced to math basics, poetry, nature concepts, relationship building, language skills, reading, habit formation, citizenship, and so much more.
Other Goose is a supportive early learning homeschooling village where parents will feel connected to other parents via its Community Forum. Here, moms, dads and caretakers can have 'water cooler' style conversations about the lessons and their child's experience. Parents will always have all the support they need from Other Goose, yet have a sense of autonomy.
The curriculum is built on three pillars - Math, Logic, and Foundation - and the belief that learning can take place anywhere! For example, one lesson instructs parents to bring measuring tape or ball of yarn outside and help your child find two sticks. Mark a “starting-off point” with one stick. Ask your child how far he or she can jump from the first stick. Mark how far he leapt with the second stick, and show him how to measure the distance between. This teaches your child Math, Motor Skills, Spatial Reasoning, Sequencing, and Counting as they have fun!

There are countless creative lessons like this that foster activity and valuable time between parent/child outdoors - vs hours sitting in front of a computer. Your child will be so engaged in the quality time together, they won't even realize they are "doing school." It is all about eye sparkle moments, not a grade, that will fuel a child.
The key is finding what excites and drives a child, which is why Other Goose features a weekly Progress Report and individual interest logs to document each child's passion and unique trajectory. Plus, another cool feature, your student earns 'credits' from completed lessons which can be used towards neat finds in the Marketplace section of Other Goose.
