An additional component to this program is promoting an expanded view of our world as Oliver’s Cool Jungle Band embarks on their exciting Musical World Tour traveling to a new country each week exposing children to multi-cultural themes, environmental and ecological issues.

Oliver and his lively cast of characters all possess positive attributes that children can embrace and emulate. Compassion, kindness and acceptance towards each other and our animal friends is addressed each week.
This sequentially structured program is intended for weekly 30 minute lessons. New lessons will be uploaded continually to fill the school year.
