Infants / Toddlers
Little Thumbelina Infants’ Academy is respecting children, based on (RIE) Magda Gerber’s Educaring® approach..
We allow children to move freely and naturally  in order to help them develop gross and fine motor skills..
Even young children can often resolve conflict on their own. Our Care-givers Facilitators model how to observe while allowing children to interact naturally, and when and how to engage to ensure children learn to respect each other.
