2. Little Elephant
This daycare is located in a house within a residential area in South Jakarta. Little Elephant welcomes children of ages ranging from 2 months to 4.5 years. Operating from 07.00 – 18.00, its interior is painted in soft colors as the owners believe it helps children to be more focused and relaxed.

Little Elephant’s owner has a formal Montessori background, hence she applies this method in the program. Developed by Maria Montessori, it highlights children’s independence, freedom and development. Children are divided into two classes based on their age; baby and toddler, with the caregiver ratio at 1:3 (baby) and 1:5 (toddler). The program is based on monthly themes with weekly sub-themes.

Other activities include swimming, field trips, science and art experiments and training for children’s motor skills. On Fridays, the toddlers visit the nearest park to do some sports and interact with nature. Little Elephant also provides detailed daily and weekly reports for parents.

In collaboration with Setiabudi health clinics, the daycare staff will inform parents about vaccines and vitamin A. The children have their own check-ups with a pediatrician every four months, a dentist every six months and a psychologist every six months.
