Teaching Approach

Research shows that the first five years of a child’s life has a strong impact on their learning ability for all the years to follow. Children absorb information quickly, thus, it is essential to develop the fundamental building blocks at an early age to set the foundation for their future.

Our play-based learning programs are a process of observing, documenting and discussing children’s experiences with families as a basis for lesson planning. Our teachers closely monitor each child to ensure ‘whole child development’, consisting of skills in five domains: social, emotional, language, cognitive and physical. Once children graduate to pre-school and beyond, they are introduced to Mathematics, Social Sciences, English and other languages.

Lesson plans and activities are selected by our teachers based on observations of a child’s development. In turn, this promotes a flexible curriculum that is more individualized for each child.

Delivery Method

Our teachers monitor a child’s development by documenting each day’s events, activities and projects. These experiences are published to a child’s online portfolio and serve as a guide for teachers to determine developmentally appropriate activities.

Our teachers encourage parents to participate by viewing their child’s achievements on the Learning Jungle Mobile App. This process is invaluable as it enhances parents’ ability to connect with their children at home by encouraging them to share and communicate what they learned during the day.

The Learning Jungle program delivery is based upon three principles:

Individualized Development

Education is personalized for each child by matching their current developmental progress and the best learning approach most suited for their pace and style.

Collaborative Observations

Encouraging evaluation and verification from both teachers and parents throughout the duration of their program.

Measurable Results

Evaluation through quantitative and qualitative results giving parents a clear understanding of their child’s progress, achievement and focus for future development.

Programs by age group

Please check with your local Learning Jungle for program offerings & availability. 

Infants

(0 – 18 months)

We offer a warm, nurturing and responsive environment for infants which includes a designated sleep area and play space. Infants are at a very sensory age – absorbing information, and learning in all areas of development. Educators co-learn with infants by providing toys, materials and activities to help infants develop skills at their own pace.

Our educators are well-versed in infant development and care and work with parents to develop routines and schedules for feeding and rest. With this in mind, the first full-time week for a new infant enrollment is focused on observing, bonding, connecting, and getting to know the child’s learning style, interests and needs.

Toddlers

(18 months – 2.5 years)

At this age, toddlers become more independent and we encourage their development with a carefully designed program of activities largely through play. Learning Jungle offers a balanced program that allows children to explore, be engaged and develop fine motor, gross motor and cognitive skills. Educators observe and track developmental progress in all five domains to plan activities for each individual toddler.

The toddler environment is set up in a spacious area to accommodate for lots of activity and movement. Educators delight in the opportunity to be silly, sing, dance, read, play, and laugh with toddlers. Outdoor play and exploration are also an important part of a toddler’s day to exercise large muscles and burn off energy.

Preschooler

(2.5 – 5 years)

Preschoolers are more relaxed and cooperative with the advantage of easily engaging, communicating and reasoning with them. Preschoolers enjoy a full day program with activities that encourages them to be active, socialize with their peers, enhance motor and cognitive skills and be creative.

The preschool classroom is warm and welcoming with lots of opportunity for interaction with educators and other preschool children. Periodically, learning also takes place outside of the Centre. At Learning Jungle School, children enjoy a variety of trips and outings to the Library, local Fire Station, Zoo and other places of interest, in which parents are also encouraged to participate.

School-Age

(6 – 12 years)

Play is still critical to this age group for continued development of cognitive, social and other areas of development. At Learning Jungle School, we offer school-age children a balance of homework time, structured activities, free play and individual hands-on exploration. Our educators take the time to form meaningful relationships with each child, appreciating the increased competency of school-age children by giving them independence but also encouraging and helping them to participate and make the right decisions.

After a long day at school, children look forward to unwinding and stretching their minds and muscles, hanging out with their friends and playing the numerous board games available at the Centre.

PARENT APPRECIATION

“Since enrolling [our daughter] in the daycare, we have noticed that she has grown tremendously. Socially, she has made many new friends and has learned how to interact positively with other adults and children. Previously, she had been quite shy.”
