Curious Cubs
Boho Bird Class
A playful introduction to letters, numbers and stories. Grade RRR is where structured learning meets imaginative, child-led play.
Experienced, patient, passionate.
Teacher Jenny holds an Early Childhood Development Diploma and brings 32 years of experience to the Curious Cubs room. She opened her own crèche in Edgemead, Cape Town (which grew into a full nursery school), later taught at Brakensdown in Johannesburg, and was directress and head of the baby environment at a Randburg Montessori school.
Jenny joined Toddies in 2019, first leading our 12 to 24 month room, then moving across to Grade RRR, which she’s now made entirely her own. With five children and seven grandchildren of her own, she treats every Toddies child like family. Patient, observant, and endlessly kind.
