Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Dunford, believing that 4-year-olds need the loving attention of their parents more than association with other children, here presents a program developed to provide nursery school experiences for her seven children. The aim is to make the planning and organization of home study easier for other parents. Basic equipment, resource materials and teaching aids, and recipes are followed by units on families, seasons, holidays, foods, animals, health, the working worldin short, a basic curriculum. For each unit she has directions for games, songs, fingerplays, crafts and activities, reading materials, food treats. Suggested books are well chosen, and the activities will appeal to children though adults may find them old hat. Despite the premise that Mommy is the best teacher, anyone interested in operating a nursery program will find this book helpful. Kari D. Anderson, Mary Washington Coll. Lib., Fredericksburg, Va.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best single pre-school resource, May 26, 2000

This review is from: Teach Me Mommy (Paperback)

I bought my 1st copy 13 years ago when my girls were 1, 2.5,& 4. I went through 2 copies on them. In my opinion this book is the best sanity-saver for parents of multiple small children. The complete activity plans and varied themes make planning a snap and the children loved every one. I would often use just sections for a wet or cold day and when I was called last minute for Sunday School I could draw on this book knowing it would be a success. I am buying a 4th copy for a friend with 2yr old triplets.

This review is from: Teach Me Mommy: A Preschool Learning Guide (Paperback)

I first checked this book out at the library. I found it to be invaluable. It is the perfect guide for parents who want to teach their kids preschool curriculum at home. It is full of subject ideas and very easy to follow. You don't have to be a skilled teacher to do it. I love it.

This book is wonderful for mothers seeking to preschool their children at home. It's very comprehensive. The subjects are in sensible order and each lesson is laid out so that planning and presentation are very simple. We have enjoyed it.
