Whether your child is a toddler or school-age, you can have specific goals such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Learning the ABCs<\/li>\n<li>Learning numbers<\/li>\n<li>Mastering addition or subtraction<\/li>\n<li>Multiplication and math facts through 12&#8217;s<\/li>\n<li>Basic Spanish vocabulary<!--more--><\/li>\n<li>ABCs of sign language<\/li>\n<li>Geography (e.g., learning the states, continents, countries)<\/li>\n<li>History\/social studies\u00a0(e.g., learning the presidents, holidays, cultures)<\/li>\n<li>Science (e.g, forms of matter, weather, temperature)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From there, ask your nanny to draft a monthly or weekly schedule to incorporate activities into their days to reach their goals. Add your own input\/ideas and start working towards the goals. There are numerous activities online applications that focus on areas like math, language arts, science, history, and more. Below are a couple of Pinterest boards Mom&#8217;s Best Friend has created as a starting point:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mbfagency\/clever-ways-to-teach-the-abcs\/\">Clever Ways to Teach the ABCs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mbfagency\/learning-made-fun\/\">Learning Made Fun<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mbfagency\/educational-apps\/\">Educational Apps<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember, motivation goes a long way, so try to incorporate rewards to get good results. Give your nanny a budget for different rewards\u00a0for varying milestones (e.g. stickers, $1 store items, larger items for larger accomplishments).<\/p>\n<p>Ask for monthly updates on the progress, and reinforce the activities into your evenings and weekends to reinforce the concepts. Be realistic. Don&#8217;t give your nanny a huge list of goals &#8211; start with one or two and if they succeed quicker then you expected, create new goals. Make sure your expectations are clear so everyone is on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>You will be amazed at how much your children will be able to accomplish with adequate planning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you plan your year, it is a good idea to create some educational goals for your children, along\u00a0with your nanny.
