A nurturing home daycare in Oakland where your child explores, creates, and grows through daily adventures, chef-prepared organic meals, and 25+ years of dedicated care.
“Our mission is to provide a thoughtfully prepared environment where children learn through play, exploration, and self-direction. Inspired by Montessori principles, we nurture independence, curiosity, and respect, helping each child build a solid foundation for lifelong learning.”
Our intimate home setting provides the best of both worlds: the warmth of a nanny with the structure and safety of a licensed facility.
Zoo visits, museum trips, library story times, and park adventures. Every day brings new discoveries.
Delicious, nutritious meals and snacks prepared fresh daily by our culinary school graduate.
Small group sizes mean your child receives individualized care and the nurturing attention they deserve.
Extensive training in child development, nursing, nutrition, and special needs support.

Sarah has been an absolute blessing for our family. Our daughter comes home excited to tell us about her adventures every single day.
The meals are incredible — my picky eater actually tries new foods because he helps grow them in the garden and cook them!
We chose Bridges because of Sarah's experience with special needs children. She understood our son from day one.
