Toddler Program (18 months to 2 1/2 years)
By this age, children are getting more independent and
we encourage their development with a carefully designed program
of activities, which is largely through play.
We offer a balanced program that allows Toddlers to:
| 1 |
Explore, be inquisitive
or play quietly |
| 2 |
Be engaged in many
age-appropriate activities both indoors and
outdoors |
| 3 |
Enhance their fine motor skills through age appropriate self-help activities and pre-writing activities |
| 4 |
Enhance their gross motor skills through floor exercises, outdoor and indoor play |
This level is a continual approach for stimulating and reinforcing motor development. Refinement and coordination of motor developments is reinforced through physical activities with play as an avenue to learning.

Parent Involvement
At Learning Jungle School, we have designed a comprehensive communications system to allow you to get involved and
be on top of your child’s ongoing development.
This includes:
 |
The Toddler Development Checklist which describes
your toddler’s developmental progress by marking
significant developmental milestones on a monthly
basis through the year. |
 |
Toddlers are naturally inquisitive, and through
this Toddler Routine Form, you will get to know how
your child has done during the week. It focuses on
their emotional well-being, their nutritional
intake, and also provides specific comments when
staff observe a significant developmental milestone. |
 |
This quarterly newsletter provides a summary of
what has happened and what is coming up. |

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!"
