Our Mission
Bridges to Kinder Parent and Early Childhood Education Program provides early childhood education that includes fundamental parent education coursework and instruction. We are dedicated to helping each child develop to their full potential socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically, within a safe, structured and stimulating learning environment. In addition, by providing the opportunity for observation and hands on experience, parents gain knowledge of child development theory in action and discover new strategies for increasing their child’s self-esteem, cooperation and problem solving skills, thereby supporting their child to become more successful learners. Our program encourages and supports parents and children to learn, grow and have fun together.
Who We Are

Bridges to Kinder is dedicated to building strong relationships among educators, families and students. These relationships help us forge a loving community based on respect, kindness and the desire for mutual growth.
