by atm | Jun 11, 2014 | Registration, ThumBelina, Tom Thumb News |
ThumBelina is our preschool program devoted to the very young. Our initial goal was to provide a Terrific Twos Program with the quality worthy of Tom Thumb. This program has resulted in the easy transition of children to our Tom Thumb Junior Program. We are proud to say we have exceeded our initial goals and expectations.
Toddlers learn very quickly and are beginning to develop language skills. Finding the right words to express themselves can be frustrating at times. Language becomes a necessity to communicate their wants. As toddlers play and react with other children, they communicate their needs. We feel this is an important stage in a child’s development.
We are expanding our ThumBelina toddler program to accept children as young as 18 months. They will have the opportunity to learn at their own pace. Our program is about play and social interaction with other children. Our staff’s attention and guidance will help children focus on our planned activities, such as body movement, motor skills, dexterity and of course, toilet training. This means children as young as 18 months will be able to start their journey of learning as a fun experience even earlier.
Please mention the new age of 18 months for ThumBelina to your friends and relatives. We are ready for the September 2014 enrollment for ThumBelina. To get and print the registration form click on ThumBelina Registration Form and of course, you are welcome to call and make an appointment to see our facilities.

It’s another field trip to the Church of the North American Martyrs. The building is the best example of an Iroquois long house. It offers an impressive illustration of native American Indian influence architecture and the inclusion of American Indian artifacts. The children are able to see and touch a piece of American history that relates to the theme of the season of Thanksgiving.
We have been visited this historic site for over 44 years.Many thanks to the Pastor of Columbanus Church for allowing Tom Thumb students to have our school outing at such an interesting place that helps with understanding Thanksgiving at an early age.

WHERE ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Tom Thumb moved to its new 4 classrooms (gym, dance, music room) in 1973-1993, with a large play area.
An addition was built in 1993 which offers students 6 classrooms, a small library, a grand stage for music and drumming, and a physical education room. This addition includes 2 playgrounds, a grass ball field, a blacktop area for ride toys, a huge sandbox, and fun with water play activities.
