Participants interviewed by RMC Research Corp. said: “ ...the guide had all the information in it. It was very easy to refer back to it, to get the information, to get ideas.” “At first I was thinking of Social Studies as this little box of things, like our community, maps or people. Now I have broadened that out to also include social interactions in our classroom, the rules of the classroom and children’s feelings.”

Why Mother Goose Cares About Social Studies and who benefits from this program?
Very simply, social studies is the study of people and how they live.
Children are natural social studies researchers. Children begin to understand
the world by learning about themselves, their families, friends, and the
local and global community. This literature-based program integrates the
standards for social studies and language and literacy into the everyday
experience in an early childhood setting.
Adults who work with children ages three to seven in formal and informal
educational settings will benefit from Mother Goose Cares About Social Studies.
This begins a cascade of learning that reaches all of the children they
work with, as well as the children’s families.
