Our Philosophy
To consistently deliver quality education and care. At Learning Jungle School, we recognize that building the necessary skills and educational foundation early in a child's life is critical as it sets the stage for all the years to follow. We believe that:
With these points in mind, Learning Jungle School is committed to providing a positive learning environment for your child that will enhance their individual
level of development.

Parent Involvement
With the demands today for both parents to work, here at Learning Jungle School we strive to ensure that
you as a parent can still be involved in your childs development. From daily communications with your child’s teacher to providing you with online
access to your childs portfolio and report cards, you are given the opportunity to help reinforce your childs learning at home
and never miss out on those very special moments.

Learning Environment
In the classroom and on the playground, age-appropriate concepts are integrated into all aspects of play. Through these play experiences and with the guidance of our
professionally trained staff, your child will be exposed to situations that will stimulate and nurture:
1 Curiosity, initiative and independence |
2 Self-esteem and decision making |
3 Interaction with and respect for others |
4 Gross motor skills |
5 Fine motor development |
6 Communication skills |
|
|
Multiple Intelligences
At Learning Jungle School we believe that early childhood intelligence does not just exhibit itself in the score on a test. We believe in a system of eight
criteria through which all potential skills, talents, and mental capacities have to pass before they are determined to be true human intelligence.
Our teachers therefore, develop their programs that enhance the eight criteria below.

Parent Testimonial
"I am writing to you today to thank you for the
wonderful changes we are seeing in our son, Dhruv who
joined Learning Jungle School – Cooksville Campus in the
first week of October. We have been quite strict about
talking to our son in our mother tongue till he was two,
and as a result he didn't know much English when he came
to Canada. And I'm really happy to say that in the past
five months his English has improved leaps and bounds!
The other thing I have to commend about is how fast he
got toilet trained in school. I guess with the extra
help from teachers and the peer influence he was toilet
trained in less than three months. And since then we had
bid goodbye to diapers!
There has been an improvement in his social behaviour,
his manners and mannerisms. I would say Learning Jungle
School had a major part to play as he spent six of his
waking hours there, five days a week!
It would be very ungrateful of me not to mention the
role of his teachers in his development! I've been in
touch with Ms. Jeanine from even before I landed in
Canada. She was very friendly, warm and helpful on the
phone and answered my never-ending queries. She
definitely was the voice of Learning Jungle - Cooksville
Campus way before I got here! She has been instrumental
in his progress. Dhruv loves Ms. Jane who's very
friendly and warm. Ms. Justine, Ms. Michelle and Ms.
Lucia have been equally wonderful as well. All the staff
are quick with a smile and a friendly hello, which I
feel is very important.
I'm sure I must be echoing the thoughts of many parents
in Learning Jungle Schools elsewhere too... I just
wanted you to know how I felt and thank you for the
excellent job you have been doing! I only wish that
Dhruv has an opportunity to spend more time in Learning
Jungle. I actually have to pull him away from his
friends, toys and teachers at 3pm!
Thank you once again!"
