CURRICULUM

While in the Jungle Room, children participate in circle time, music and movement, and guided activities that encourage language development, listening skills, and peer interaction. Our curriculum introduces foundational early learning concepts through hands-on activities, play, and “bite-sized” circle time lessons. In this class, our learning objectives focus on colors, letters & numbers, shapes, basic concepts, and Bible stories.

Daily Routine

Our structured, yet flexible, routine balances learning and active play which supports both cognitive growth and physical development. Here is a glimpse into a typical daily schedule for our Jungle students:

Diapering Procedure

Children are changed every two hours or sooner if needed. Diapers are checked frequently throughout the day to maintain cleanliness and comfort.

Napping Procedure

Children rest on individual cots during nap time. Teachers may sit beside a child and gently pat his or her back to help them fall asleep as needed. A fitted sheet and blanket are required for nap time.
