Thank you note from Cheryl H. for the changes in her son that blew their minds
Ms. Brophy,
I am very sure you get many of these letters but I needed to tell you once more.
I am so impressed, everyday, with what you have done with that school, and how it affects the lives of our children.
I transferred Nate from another preschool for his last year because of all of the rumors, referrals and many compliments regarding you and how you run your school.
My once shy, attached to mom, kid now doesn’t even kiss me goodbye.┬á He walks proudly with confidence each day down “kids way”. My husband and I did not think it was possible because our Nate wasn’t just shy – he was painfully shy.
Yesterday blew our minds. We were confident Nate was going to shy away or freeze but it was just the opposite. I don’t think you truly realize the impact you have had on him and our family. I want to thank you with my whole heart for this amazing gift of confidence you have given him.┬á I will forever appreciate you!!!
I should have listened to my mother-in-law when she begged me to send my kids there from the beginning. My husband and his siblings were all students of TT.
But I believe God wanted TT to be just Nate’s. Being 15 months apart from his big brother they share everything BUT TT. This is his and it will be a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life because you gave my son a smile I’ve never seen – and for that THANK YOU!!!
With all of my appreciation,
Cheryl H.

Dear Mrs. Brophy,
I couldn’t help but think of Tom Thumb and you yesterday as Charlotte finished her last official day of high school.┬á I was just remembering the banner at preschool graduation which said Class of 2016 — it sounded so far away.
Happy, happy birthday! I hope it is still a big day of celebration at Tom Thumb.

Tom Thumb Alumni Thank You Note from the Lena Family
A Tom Thumb First
We receive many thank you notes from parents about the value of Tom Thumb and the terrific results of our program. We always appreciate the feedback and your praises. We try to publish a few of these thank you notes when we manage to get them to our webmaster.
The above note is from a Tom Thumb Alumni, Mrs. Lena, thanking Mrs. Brophy for a wonderful school. It’s always a pleasure to hear from parents that are Tom Thumb Alumni. We believe they have a deeper understanding of our programs and our approach to child development because they went through it.
The above note is from a Tom Thumb Alumni that in itself is really nothing out of the ordinary. We have a number of alumni that have enrolled their children in Tom Thumb over the years. These kids are the second generation of Tom Thumbers. These parents have sent us thank-you notes in the past. We are grateful for the positive feedback and their recommendations and suggestions. In fact, as our thank-you to the alumni, if either parent was a Tom Thumb graduate, they receive a 10% tuition discount. We are honored to have these second-generation students, where one of the parents was a Tom Thumb student.
A bit more of a rarity and a special case is the few students that are the third generation Tom Thumbers. This is a situation where one of the grandparents and either the Mother or Father attended Tom Thumb. They have also thanked us. All of us at Tom Thumb are very thankful and also honored to have these third-generation students attend Tom Thumb.
But, the above Lena Family thank-you-note is a first. This is a thank you note, where both Mother and Father attended Tom Thumb — an extremely rare occurrence of Tom Thumb students being married, having children, living in the area and their kid or kids attending Tom Thumb. What are the chances of something like this happen in the Lakeland School District? If you know of any other families, where both parents are Tom Thumbers and they have a child attending Tom Thumb, please let me know by completing a comment for this blog article.
I guess the most improbable situation is where a third-generation Tom Thumber that has either grandparent or parents that the husband and wife are both Tom Thumb graduates.

Ms. Brophy,
We met each other about one month ago when visiting your school for my son, Cayden. He has just started to attend ThumBelina this week and seems very excited. My husband and I have noticed already some improvements that one day of school has made. I asked him, “What did you learn at school today?” and he said, “I learn sharing.”
Thank you for taking me on a tour that other day and for kindly accepting my son at your school this year. I hope to have a pleasure to meet you again in the future.
Kind Regards,
Roberta

Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for being a part of my farewell dinner, and for the card and gifts. It was a very special night for me.
I didn’t know your email address but knew I could find Tom Thumb’s. I had fun looking at the photos on your website. It brought back memories of when my kids went there. Amazing that Ann Gaspari is still a part of the school. You do a great job year after year with the school and I wish you many more years of success.
You were always a fun partner at tennis too. I really like that you never give up and keep encouraging your partner too. I miss those afternoon games.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday and a great 2016.
Marty

“It’s always wonderful to hear about our Tom Thumb graduates. We never tire of the accolades from both parents and Lakeland Kindergarten teachers. But, it shouldn’t be a surprise.Tom Thumb Preschool is a private school since 1968. All our classes and activities are lead by experienced NYS accredited teachers. We provide the first formal schooling┬á for kids and make it a fun experience for a lifetime of learning.” Nancy Brophy

Good Morning Mrs. Brophy,
This is a belated Thank You email for everything you did for my son Jason who graduated last year from Tom Thumb. My wife and I knew he was in great hands when we picked him up and dropped him off every day; but as we sit here nearly a year later watching him develop and grow in Kindergarten, we feel a tremendous amount of gratitude for what you and your team provided to Jason.
He’s doing great at Primrose, even scoring a 97 on his STAR exams. In fact, even his teachers have mentioned that they don’t feel their curriculum challenges him as much as it should…he breezes through it, so they will be coming up with new things for him to learn. From his confidence to his love of music, reading and math abilities, social interaction – all the foundations you and your team laid out, have given him a wonderful footing to build upon. He still talks about Tom Thumb with a great big smile and tells us how much he misses it.
A sincere thank you. You made a great difference in yet another young life!
Kindest Regards,
Jason’s Dad

We are all polishing our Olympics skills
Tom Thumb students are getting ready for the 2016 Mini-Olympics. We have queued the music and our students are walking-through this year’s program at Dynamic Gymnastics. We are rehearsing and having fun 
by participating with skilled games. Our kids are practicing those games that are included in the program. Each Mini-Olympics game is a little competitive playful activity and a fun challenge for both fine and gross motor skills. We are preparing to perform in front of parents at this year’s Mini-Olympics.
Please support our Tom Thumb students with cheers, smiles and applause at our 2016 Mini-Olympics that’s scheduled in March for Seniors and in May for Juniors. See the Tom Thumb Calendar for more details.
