My Life as Mrs. Cooks: Preschool and Kindergarten Learning Curriculum Review

My two-year-old niece spends the day with our family during the week. She started showing interest in wanting to learn more and read by the time she started walking. She would grab books from the bookshelf and say, "Read Kie, puwease." So I would read to her and work on ABCs, numbers, and colors whenever she was interested. I had not introduced her to a formal curriculum until now. We have been working MESSYLEARNING FOR PRESCHOOLERS AND KINDERGARTNERS by PandaParents for the past month. We received this in exchange for our honest review.

What is PandaParents and what does MESSY stand for?

PandaParents is a monthly preschool learning curriculum subscription. It is recommended for kids 3-6 years old. Each month comes with a preschool learning storybook, video story, a pdf workbook, and other projects which are included in the workbook. They cover several different subjects such as Reading, Math, Art, Science, and even foreign language.

MESSY stands for

Mixed subjects and activities for integrative learning

Engaging activities that challenge minds

Simple 1 2 3 steps: Read, Learn, Create

Smart designs for creative learning

Yeah, a new way to promote preschool STEM and early brain growth.

What we received

We are reviewing an electronic version of this program. We received three months worth of the program.

A Jolly Jingle Journey parts 1 and 2

Mommy's Baby

Scotty Skunk Hears a Scary Sound

How we used it

My niece is only 2 years old so I am not forcing her to sit through complete lessons. Ideally, the kid would read the book, watch the video story, and work on the workbook pages and crafts. However, I had my niece listen and watch the video story and then I printed off the worksheets as needed.

We worked through A Jolly Jingling Journey it came with 2 stories, the video story, and a pdf workbook. We did not make it all the through the workbook but I did look over all the pages to get an idea of what they covered.

Part 1 introduced the letter J. Mrs. Kelly taught the kids about the uppercase and lowercase "Jj" they incorporated the English, Spanish, and Chinese languages.

Part 2 was about a little boy named Davy who is on a hunt to find Santa. This story teaches the letter "J", colors, patterns, the Arctic region, and more. Working through this workbook your child will learn reading skills, memory skills, numerical order, problem-solving, and so much more. My niece enjoyed the worksheets more than she did the story. I think it's because it made her feel like a "big girl"

We did not make it through all three of the stories but I did look through all of them.

Mommy's Baby is a story about a baby, that didn't want to go to sleep so mommy reads a cute little story about a panda names Amanda. This story introduces shapes, animals, sizes, and different foods. Working through the workbook your child will learn about emotions, letter recognition, patterns, living and non-living things, reading comprehension, and so much more.

Scotty Skunk Hears a Scary Sound is a story about a skunk trying to find a new home, but everywhere he goes there's a scary sound so he leaves to go find a new home. The scary sounds are not scary at all they're things like a tractor, lawn mower, a train etc. but for a little skunk, they can be very intimidating. The storybook taught the letter S, sounds of locomotives, the 4 seasons, the weather and so much more. Working through this workbook the kids will work on handwriting, matching games, patterns, sorting, reading comprehension, chronological order, and a ton of other things.

My thoughts

This program is a great curriculum for preschool children. The preschool learning stories are easy to follow and keep the attention of the kid. It covers a variety of subjects in a fun, interactive way. It is very parent-led intensive, but I don't mind that. I will definitely continue to work through this program with my niece as long as she is interested. I would recommend this for children 2-6 with a little patience on the parent side for the younger kids. You can get this awesome preschool learning subscription for as low as $9.95 a month.
