Learning Through Play
The Heart of Early Education
Play is not a break from learning—it is learning. Our play-based learning approach fosters purposeful exploration and joyful discovery through hands-on activities like storytelling, building, experimenting, and imaginative play. This helps children develop key cognitive, motor, and social skills while engaging deeply with new ideas.
Key Academics
Grounded in the Science of Reading, our literacy program uses multisensory experiences to teach phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Through song, rhyme, storytelling, and movement, children connect with language in meaningful ways—developing foundational reading skills and a lasting love for books.
Broadening horizons.
The Bridge School extracurricular program extends the classroom experience, helping students develop key skills all while having fun. Through play and discovery, we’re nurturing well-rounded learners.
