Haven't heard of that school but what I can suggest is to ask them about their philosophy, manpower, etc. or details that I've discussed in this blog. You can post it here and I'll try to comment on their response :) Hi Mommy Antonella!

I am also looking for a school in the Fort area, although my son will likely enroll sometime early next year. Any feedback on the Learning Jungle School? Thanks. Hi Teacher Tina!

Sorry it took long to reply. I was trying to think of the best option for you. You may try Britesparks along Libis. I also hear that Cambridge in the Fort area is good too. Hope this helps!

Moms I meet lately give me this horrified look when I say my boy is not going to preschool yet because most of their kids started with playschool at age 2. My boy is 5 now and he's just at home with me all the time. I just want him to play as much as he wants and when I think he is really ready for school. But most don't really understand my decision. It was just this year that he started really talking and telling stories :) Great post!

One time a Mom-acquaintance (from a summer program my son attended) was telling me she and her daughter would "fight"... "cause up to know she doesn't know all her letters... " Her daughter was about 3. I felt bad for them... And this: a kid wanted to buy this lovely picture book in the school fair. Her mom said no since the book is for babies and should "read something more for his age". Sad : ( I agree!

I haven't encountered any info on that school but I'll post it if ever I do. In the meantime, you can use the posts in this blog to guide you when you talk to the school and inquire about their philosophy. Hi Tine!
