Welcome to Thumbelina!

At Thumbelina Nursery School, each child and family are respected and valued. Children are encouraged to respect and value others while gaining the skills needed to express themselves and communicate with others, think creatively, explore the world around them, and become life-long learners

At Thumbelina, we believe that young children learn through playing and interacting with a diverse range of play and learning materials as well as children and adults. The classroom is organized into play and learning centers that offer opportunities in:

  • Sand and water play
  • Pretend/dramatic play
  • Block play
  • Science and discovery activities
  • Literacy activities
  • Creative art and painting
  • Fine motor activities
  • Gross motor activities in the gymnasium or outdoors
  • Musical experiences (songs, finger plays, movement activities)
  • Kindergarten readiness activities
