Tune into a Gisele's Big Backyard, Tuesday-Thursday at 6:45 am and 1:45 pm to watch the Jungle Room, an innovative new program for preschoolers.
Each episode features real kids in a their real daycare environment. We see the natural interactions of the kids, and we watch the teacher expertly manage the academic and social aspects of the daycare scenario.
"The Jungle Room is a unique series that takes reality TV in a direction never done before. The risk in taking part in a series like this is you can't assume things will work out as planned. It's impossible to script a group of 5 year olds and get them to stick to a plan. One of the goals of the series was to let preschool viewers see what life is like in JK setting, and make them a little less fearful about starting school themselves. The Jungle Room also provides a unique insight for parents and educators about child development and social interaction. There is so much rich content in this series, that we have decided to repurpose it and create a series aimed at parents called Gorilla Parenting."
