Mother Goose Room ~ Lead Teacher: London Mancuso
Ages listed to start or move on to the next classroom are estimated, and placement is based on development, and what is best for your child first and foremost.
This is a full day program. Full Day Preschool Hours are 7:15 am to 6:00 PM. Child to teacher ratio is 4 children to 1 teacher. Max in Mother Goose Class Room is 2 teachers to 8 children.
Our Teachers work with the toddlers on strengthening verbal skills through repetitive songs and books. We help teach early problem solving and social skills. At this age children learn from their “natural” surroundings, that is why the Mother Goose Room reflects that, with a home living center, and lots of tactile experiences. Teachers share daily information with parents verbally, and with the Mother Goose Daily Sheet. Parents may also connect with Living Springs Child Development Center (LSLC CDC)

Needed Supplies:
- sheet, blanket for nap time (parents take home once a week to wash)

Diaper Creams, Sun Block, Medications:
We ask parents to apply sunscreen on their child before they bring them to school, and your child’s teacher will reapply sunscreen as needed throughout the day. Anything we apply to your child’s skin, or medications needs a doctor’s authorization. Any types of diaper cream you would like to use, sunscreen/sun block (we require SPF 30 or more).
All these items require a doctor’s authorization, and form signed by the parent. Pediatricians offices fill these forms out often. One will be given to you from lslcps staff for your convenience.
