Programs at Little Jungle Daycare
At Little Jungle Daycare, we focus on fostering children’s development through a variety of activities and learning experiences that encourage speech development, motor skills, and teamwork between parents and teachers. Our programs serve children from 6 weeks to 5 years old, as well as an after-school program for children aged 5 to 12 years old.
Programs By Age Group
We provide a nurturing environment for our youngest learners. Even at this early age, we emphasize language development, sensory play, and motor skill building through interactive activities. Our staff engages infants and toddlers in:
- Music and Songs: Introduction to language through fun and engaging music sessions.
- Free Play & Exploration: Sensory toys like Legos and farm animal sets help develop hand-eye coordination and motor skills.
- Daily Routine Support: Our team provides individualized care, ensuring a safe and comforting experience for each child.
Our preschool program blends academic preparation with play-based learning, following a Montessori-inspired curriculum. Through hands-on activities and interactive lessons, children develop their speech, cognitive abilities, and social skills. Children in this age group participate in:
- Arts & Crafts: Creativity is encouraged through daily art projects, helping children express themselves and improve fine motor skills.
- Numbers and Letters: Focused lessons on basic math and literacy concepts using magnetic towers, wooden blocks, and engaging games.
- Physical Activity & Music: Children learn songs, dance, and rhythm, building both physical coordination and communication skills.
Our after-school program is designed to provide a structured and fun environment for children attending school. With small group sizes, our program offers:
- Homework Support: Assistance in completing assignments.
- Free Play: Opportunities to relax and play in our carefully designed activity areas, such as the reading corner and free play zones.
- Creative Activities: Art and music projects to inspire creativity and provide a well-rounded experience after a busy school day.

Our Approach to Child Development
Speech Development: One of our key focuses is helping children develop strong language and communication skills through everyday conversations and play-based learning.
Motor Skills: Activities like building with blocks and playing with dolls and kitchen sets help children improve their motor abilities while having fun.
Social Skills: We encourage interaction and group play, teaching children how to socialize, share, and work together.
At Little Jungle Daycare, we work closely with parents to ensure that every child reaches their full potential in a loving, supportive environment. Our individualized attention and comprehensive curriculum provide each child with the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond.
