Our Teachers

Our mission at Building Bridges Child Development Center is to provide high quality early childhood education and care, incorporating the best research and knowledge of child development and health. Also, to support families by providing their children with a loving, nurturing environment; by being accessible to discuss their children’s needs; and by offering these services at reasonable prices. The center’s goals are for the children served by the center to develop to their full potential, to exhibit healthy social, emotional, and physical growth; for the families to feel confident that their children are being cared for in the best possible manner, to promote the natural bonding and friendship among young siblings, to prepare children emotionally, socially, and scholastically for life, to find the center personnel open and easy to communicate with, and to be satisfied with the cost and quality of early childhood education and care their children receive.

Philosophy

We believe that every child can accomplish anything that any other human has ever accomplished. We aspire to provide children with the knowledge and social skills that will help them achieve their goals in life. Our children will learn social, emotional, and cognitive skills through play and group activities. They will have many choices during the day to do activities that best fit their needs and interests on an individual basis. Our teachers use the shadowing approach to guidance by trying to guide the child’s choices rather than force choices upon the child. Our preschool rooms are divided into centers such as library, home living, art center, block center, and circle time. We have an area for dramatic play and a science area. The different areas within the classrooms promote a variety of interests for children to choose from throughout the day. The centers promote social and emotional development, cognitive learning skills, and gross and fine motor skills development.
