Building Bridges Preschool

We have been thrilled to be a part of the Building Bridges community for two years. When going through the school tour process it is easy to get stressed out and caught up in everything. Building Bridges immediately put us at easy with their reinforcement that the main focus is about providing a warm, inviting environment for the children to get used to the idea of school, where they can make friends, learn and grow.
The founders, Susan and Jennifer, are wonderful people. They do everything they can to personally connect with each student and family. The staff is loving and fully engaged to provide the best curriculum for each class. My son is genuinely excited every day to go to school.
The class size allows all of the kids and families to get to know each other and we have had many parties and play dates with classmates. Can’t say enough about our experience at Building Bridges!

We were thrilled with the Building Bridges experience. Our 3-​year-​old son was greatly inspired by the staff and learned so many things from them — from recognizing and writing letters to appreciating and mimicking the work of fine artists to weather to cooking, etc. He also developed important social skills and formed some of his first friendships.
We received a weekly newsletter from his teacher with a summary of his class’s activities, packed with adorable photos and details, giving us a real connection with his daily routine.
While he’s excited about going to public school next year, he’s also very sad about leaving Building Bridges. We’re already looking forward to introducing our daughter to this enriching experience next year.

Building Bridges is a wonderful school. The teachers are knowledgeable, warm, caring and beyond creative. The administrators are education veterans and really know how to run a program where children want to learn and create. My daughter is only 4 years old and already knows who Picasso and Monet are all because of this school. She loves going there and we are so happy to send her. Building Bridges is a great choice.

Our three year old started at Building Bridges this past September and we have been thrilled with the program. My son loves school and loves the teachers. He generally hates leaving our apartment in the winter, but is always excited to go to school. He loves his teachers and all of the «projects» that they do. The weekly newsletter has pictures of the kids and describes all of the fun activities: art projects, cooking, music. The directors and the teachers are fantastic; they’re always extremely available and willing to to speak to you about your child, attentive to each child’s needs, and enthusiastic and engaged in the classroom. We’ll be back next year for pre-​K and couldn’t be happier!

The staff at Building Bridges is outstanding. We have our 4 yr old in their pre-​K program. She is loving her school experience. She runs into the classroom and cries if she has a vacation. The teachers are devoted, nurturing, experienced and passionate about their work with the children. We have noticed her growth in her learning and how she enjoys school. We have enrolled her for the summer camp. I wished they had kindergarten in their school because I would sign my daughter up in a heart beat. We will miss the teachers and the directors when our little one ages out. We are so grateful for making our daughter’s first school experience so positive.

My 3 year old twins started at Building Bridges this year and it has been a great experience. We plan to send them for summer classes and enroll again next year.
I have been continuously impressed with the creativity of the teachers and the way they engage the kids in fun activities and sneak in a alot of learning along the way. My kids come home with stories of nature walks, cooking muffins, where rain comes from science experiments, dance parties and special art projects for each holiday.
This is a well run school with extremely talented and loving teachers.

I was so impressed by the friendliness of the teachers that I had to have my son go to this school. I think I might have drove them nuts with my constant questions!
After almost a year there my son can not get enough of the school, classmates nor the teachers. (Neither can I)
Apart from the infinite amount of activities they plan for the children, they truly excel at giving every child attention. My son tells me regularly how Mrs teacher X to teacher Y spent time with everyone going over there numbers, letters or whatever that days project is. (Totally serious)
If you are looking for education, activities, spontaneity, warm, friendly and most importantly patient teachers this is the place to put your kids in!

Our son has been at the school for the past year and we are so pleased with it, we had no hesitation to have him there next year as well.
He has grown in confidence and is thriving in the nurturing environment. The staff are all wonderful with the children and the educational components appear varied, fun and engaging.
There is limited outside space and natural light but they use the local park and they are able to run around in ‘the big room’.
The director is extremely helpful in all manner of things both school and non school related.

My son has spent the past school year with Building Bridges and is enrolled for next year. He runs into the classroom with hardly a nod goodbye to me and can’t wait to tell me about all the awesome activities the teachers did with the class that day: weekly cooking and music sessions; outdoor play in the private garden and outside space; nature walks; field trips to the fire station; «secret projects» for holidays. Along with his ABCs and 123s, he is exposed to so many new things daily.
The teachers there are phenomenal. They love what they do, and they love the kids. They are so caring and feel genuine affection and responsibility for the kids in their classes.
If you’re looking for a fun, enriching first school experience for your little one, this is it.
