Structure, Flexibility, and Lots of Fun
We believe children are brilliant — and will exceed any expectation when encouraged.
Children learn through play and action. We allow each child to complete tasks on their own so they understand they can succeed at anything they put their mind to. We follow Montessori practices, observing each child and allowing decisions and choices to be made by the child.
Throughout the day we encourage self-independence, kindness, responsible choices, self-feeding, cleaning up after oneself, good manners, personal space, and respect for others.
Schedule may vary. Diaper changes, potty time, and sanitation are handled as needed.
Warm welcomes and free exploration in learning centers: puzzles, blocks, books, water and texture tables, ball pit, train table, puppets, color sorting, kitchen play, bead threading, and a light table with colors, shapes, and letters.
Stretching, baby yoga, scarf dancing, meditation, instruments, and singing. Our sign language circle board introduces the letter, color, and shape of the day along with emotions and weather.
Potty chairs or diaper changes, hand washing, and teeth brushing.
Organic fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, nuts, whole grains, and homemade muffins or bars. Vegan options always offered. Children help put away toys and books.
Sand box, water table, music and dancing, bubbles, trikes, gardening, and more. Daily and weekly outings to the zoo, museums, libraries, the science center, Fairyland, parks, splash pads, farmers markets, and local events.
Potty, diaper changes, and hand washing before lunch. Free play while lunch is prepped and served.
Self-feeding encouraged. A rotating weekly menu features quinoa, millet, brown rice, legumes and lentils, leafy greens, roasted root vegetables, fresh fruits, wild salmon, shrimp, and lean meats on occasion. Vegan options always offered.
Hand washing, then fine-motor and quiet activities: puzzles, books, coloring, stacking, sorting, and texture tables with new textures weekly.

Parents collect their little ones. Children are encouraged to put on their own shoes and gather their bags and coats.
Young children thrive with predictable routines. Knowing what comes next gives them security and confidence. At Bridges, we balance consistent structure with flexibility to follow children's interests and energy levels.
At pickup, you'll receive updates on everything important.
