Testimonials

  "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!"

  "We love Bridges to Learning; Kassie has been there since just before her first birthday. At BTL Kassie is shown so much love and care, I really feel that she is safe and happy at school. Some of the other things we love about BTL are: The teachers show praise for good behavior and offer appropriate discipline when needed. Class size is small enough to give the one on one attention that small children need but big enough to teach the children how to interact and get along with other children as well as teach them independence. Each class has a written curriculum that is posted for parents to review. The children are grouped not only by their age but by their ability levels. The teachers are always open to parent suggestions and are really there to support your parenting choices. BTL finds creative ways to generate parent/family participation in the learning process. Kassie feels like the teachers are an extension of her family not someone that is paid to watch her. She really feels loved and that is the most important thing to us."

  "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."
