Meet your guides
Ms. Goose & Ms. Swan.
Silly Goose Play Co. is led by two experienced educators: Katelyn, who the children know as Ms. Goose, and Amanda, who they know as Ms. Swan.
Meet Ms. Goose
Hi, I’m Ms. Goose.
- Early Childhood Educator
- Degree in Early Childhood Education
- Former preschool teacher
- 10+ years of early childhood experience
Hello there! I'm Katelyn, the founder of Silly Goose Play Co., though most children know me simply as Ms. Goose.
For as long as I can remember, I've believed that childhood should be filled with imagination, wonder, messy creativity, and meaningful play. Before creating Silly Goose Play Co., I spent years working with young children as an educator, nanny, and childcare professional. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have dedicated my career to helping children learn, grow, and thrive through hands-on experiences and authentic connections.
Silly Goose was born from a simple idea: children don't need more screens, schedules, or pressure. They need opportunities to explore, create, imagine, and be fully seen by a caring adult who values the magic of childhood.
That is why Ms. Swan and I lead every experience ourselves, and why every basket is packed by hand for the child it is meant for. Whether we're building fairy gardens in your living room, reading stories in a hotel suite, or hosting the kids' corner at a wedding, the goal is always the same: joyful experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence, and connection.
When we arrive, we bring more than activities. We bring stories, creativity, encouragement, and a genuine love for childhood.
We can't wait to meet your family and create a little wonder together.
With love,
Ms. Goose

Our philosophy
Childhood is not a race.
Children don’t need more pressure to perform. They need time.
- Time to wonder.
- Time to build.
- Time to imagine.
- Time to ask questions.
- Time to get messy.
- Time to feel deeply loved and fully seen.
Did you know?
The earliest years matter most.
90% of a child's brain development happens before age five.
Play strengthens the neural pathways responsible for language, emotional regulation, problem solving, and social skills.
Children learn best through hands-on experiences, movement, and meaningful relationships.
Unstructured play helps build creativity, independence, and confidence.
Adults ask, “What did you learn today?” At Silly Goose, we ask, “What did you discover?”
The most important learning of early childhood has always happened through wonder.
