THE Tumble Tots, a Britain-based preschool in Davao City, has partnered with the Bantay Bata Foundation to give toys and books to Bantay Bata children this holiday season.
All the children under the care of the Bantay Bata Foundation in the city will be paired off with a Tumble Tot pupil for a gift-giving ceremony on the children's Christmas Play on December 17. Also a partner in this activity is the Joji Ilagan Bian College of Business and Tourism.
With the school's theme, "Christmas in Our Hearts", Tumble Tots pupils will be filling up a Tumby's Toy Box with books and toys starting Monday up to December 15. Each student will become a little Santa Claus for one child in the foundation.
Meanwhile, all collected toys and books will also be awarded during the Christmas play.
Tumble Tots is Britain's leading preschool and personality development program for children ages six months to six years old. Its unique program builds a child's confidence and allows his positive personality traits of self-esteem, discipline, and independence to flourish through purposeful play.

In Davao City, two Tumble Tots teachers are teaching at least eight students per class. It offers programs including gymbabes, walking to 2's, toddler's explorations, and preschool discovery program. (JGRS)
