Testimonials

"We absolutely love Bridges to Learning. We have 3 children that attend BTL, and we couldn't be happier with the love, encouragement and education that the teachers and aides provide for them. Our children come home everyday happy and excited about all the things they learned, and have only great things to say about their teachers. We love the fact that they are in small classes and get the love and one on one attention that they want and need, and still get to interact with a wide variety of children their own ages. Miss Daina is our youngest son's teacher, and she is always so helpful and understanding about his needs with potty training. She worked with us as a family, to make sure he had consistency both at school and at home. We couldn't ask for a better person to leave our child with. We never worry about their safety or happiness while we are at work during the day, because we know that they are in wonderful, caring hands. Our daughter is in pre-k, and is definitely ready for her big step into kindergarten, all thanks to the BTL staff! We also have our oldest child in their full day kindergarten program. He loves Miss Katie, and is always coming home telling us all the things he learned, and how happy he is to still be able to go to BTL. We would most definitely recommend BTL to anyone looking for a loving child care center!!"

  "We have had children at Bridges to Learning since 2004. The care that they provide allows us to leave knowing our children are happy and safe. The staff is very responsible and attentive to the needs of our children and they truly care. We feel they will be well prepared for their future education due to the basics they have learned at Bridges to Learning. Most of all, we don't worry about our children when we leave them at Bridges to Learning and that means everything to us. We have and will continue to recommend Bridges to Learning to others."

  "I stumbled upon Bridges to Learning by accident. It turned out to be a one in a million happy accident. After meeting with them I got that "warm and cozy" feeling you want from a child care center. I was actually a little thrown off by the reasonable cost. I thought this might be a sign of a lack of care. Nothing could be further from the truth. I feel that my child and every child there is treated special. It feels to me like a small scale day care out of someone's home but with all the reliability and convenience of a large scale day care. I am looking forward to my baby growing and learning at Bridges to Learning for the years to come."

  "Bridges to Learning has exceeded our expectations as a care center in many ways. They have been more than accommodating toward the needs of our son. Their staff of caregivers is professional and has worked with us to build friendly and working relationships. They have always listened to any ideas of working with us in any effort we have on behavior modification. We could not imagine being with another day care center at this time. We truly feel like my son is with his second family everyday. We trust their staff & judgment based on Amanda's teacher expertise and Jeannette's business and life experience know how - it's a great team!"

  "Bridges to Learning has been a “Blessing in Disguise”. My children attended another daycare that unfortunately went out of business and Bridges to Learning was recommended to us by this other daycare. The transition from the old daycare to Bridges to Learning was nothing but positive. My children, a seven year old boy and identical twin five year old girls, were welcomed with open arms from the staff, other parents, and children attending the daycare. My children acclimated so well by switching over and that was over three years ago. I feel so comfortable leaving my children there each and every day and know that they are in good hands and learning new things on a daily basis. I always feel welcome at the center and know that my children are in the best hands possible. I am grateful for this wonderful experience that both my children and my husband and I have endured through this Child Development Center."

  "For over three years I have been consistently impressed with the care my two grandsons have received at Bridges to Learning. The staff and the other children have become a part of our lives and a family to us all. I don't know what I would do with out their support, assistance and willingness to work together as a team, for the benefit of our children and our families. Bridges has a great learning curriculum, innovative activities and programs that keep my boys learning and having fun. But what has most impressed me was their eagerness to work closely with my grandson's early intervention therapy team that has put them in my good graces for life. What a difference the right childcare facility can make!"

  "What brought us to Bridges to Learning with our first child was the fact that it was a small, family owned center with a low child to teacher ratio. Cameron is now approaching 5 and will be going to kindergarten this year. She has learned so much and is more than ready for kindergarten. The center has grown over the past four years but the attention to education has remained the same. Our girls love going to school, seeing their friends and teachers. We know they are in good hands while we are working in a safe, happy, fun environment."

  "We have been part of the Bridges to Learning “family” since my oldest was 14 months old. Leaving my children at Bridges to Learning every day means that I don’t need to worry about them while I’m at work. Every day, the staff goes above and beyond in so many ways, big and small. The staff at Bridges to Learning has always worked together with our family to make our little ones’ time away from home as “home-like” as possible. There is no one-size fits all—whatever my kids need on a particular day, they receive, whether it is extra cuddles, visiting an old teacher, visiting a sibling, “helping” a teacher, or quiet “alone time” with a favorite staff member. There isn’t that, “Okay, she’s two today, time to move to the next classroom…” mentality. The staff looks at the whole child, individually, and makes recommendations based on what they feel is best for the child at that time, always keeping in close contact with the family. My daughter will soon be transitioning to the public school, and this milestone is bittersweet, because I know she will only get to spend part of her days at Bridges to Learning."
