Thumbelina Nursery School

Overview

Thumbelina Nursery School is a state‑licensed early childhood program serving children ages 2 through 5 and operating year‑round. The centre offers full‑time and part‑time schedules and includes options for before‑school and after‑school care.

Curriculum and approach

Daily class time is structured by age and ability and includes stories, music, art, and group activities. Younger groups focus on motor and language development and personal‑social skills, while older groups focus on letters, numbers, eye‑hand coordination and early cognitive skills; pre‑kindergarten and kindergarten‑level classes include phonics and basic math.

Meals, activities and enrichment

Full‑day children receive a nutritious lunch plus morning and afternoon snacks; part‑time children receive a morning snack.
Regular enrichment activities include visits from local community service personnel, weekly library visits, seasonal parties and photos, and music presentations by visiting performers.
Allergies are managed and special dietary needs are taken seriously.

Staff and health practices

Staff are described as having college degrees, Early Childhood Education certification, and First Aid/CPR certification; the centre reports that staff are accredited, bonded, licensed and insured. The centre follows heightened cleaning and illness‑monitoring practices, and children with fever may return after 24 hours fever‑free without use of fever‑reducing medication.
