BRiDGES Preschool Teachers
All of our teachers have or are finishing degrees in Early Childhood Education, Child Development or a child related field. Our play-based preschool program honors childhood by providing a comfortably structured, educationally rich environment that allows children to learn through hands-on exploration.
‘Preschool Week Briefs’ are posted and made available on the first school day of each week to keep parents informed about their children’s weekly science experiments, cooking projects, gardening activities, new primary Spanish and Sign Language, dramatic play, music and movement, children’s literature, journals, zoo phonics, math manipulatives, snack helpers and special teacher notes.
BRiDGES naturally evolving preschool curriculum also focuses on positive character traits, communication skills, assertiveness training and problem solving for all children.
Our full day children bring healthy picnic-style lunches and brush their teeth everyday before resting.
All BRiDGES children enjoy ample outside time on our Adventure Playgrounds. Our outdoor environments are recognized for their natural elements, gardens, mud kitchens, water features and more.
