We have since grown into 5 East Valley locations. BRiDGES Preschool Teachers are among the very best in the industry and are hand picked from hundreds of applicants. BRiDGES teachers & children love their school because it's safe, comfortable, respectful and educationally rich.

All of BRiDGES Preschool Teachers are or are finishing a degree in Child Development, Early Childhood Education, or other child related fields. BRiDGES Preschool has proudly welcomed interns and Student Teachers from ASU, NAU, MCC, CAC and other community colleges.

Adventure Playgrounds are common in Europe because of their educational value and superior appeal to children. A side-step from traditional playgrounds, BRiDGES Preschool Nature-Based Playgrounds capture the essence of early childhood with environmentally rich natural elements that include manipulatives and moveable components.
During the school year, Young Leaders Club (YLC) is a part of our Kindergarten program here at BRiDGES Preschool. This is the character building piece of the program that teaches leadership, independence and responsibility. Assist the teachers by running in-house errands, like retrieving extra napkins, refilling glue bottles, etc.
Knowing that Kindergarten is one of the most formative years in a child's educational career, more and more parents are seeking a private school alternative for their children. Scientists are telling us what we parents have known intuitively for years: Children learn best when they are "doing". Meaningful experiences record knowledge in long term memory.

I was employed by Bridges for a few months before I was forced to quit due to a heart condition. As soon as I was unable to work I was treated poorly. I asked several times for my employment information that was needed in order to get health insurance, I was finally forced to write a letter to AZ access stating their refusal to cooperate. Because of them I am sitting without insurance at a time in my life when I need it most. It took a month to receive my last paycheck and I still have not received my personal belongings. As a teacher you are paid poorly, you are expected to work many more hours

My daughter attends the Mesa location where we are greeted each and every morning with smiles, a cheerful "good morning" and hugs (hugs for my daughter). Her teachers are all caring, patient, understanding of each child's unique learning delevopment and can sing some of the best learning songs. My kid is always coming home singing a new song. The classrooms are clean, divided into specific learning areas and offer plenty of space. Outside my daughter loves playing in the Mud Kitchen, she makes mud cakes and pies and pretends to celebrate birthdays. Bridges also offers parent volunteering which

I love Bridges Preschool!! The staff is amazing!! The classrooms are up to date and incredible! They really put in the extra time and effort with all of the children and make them feel welcome and cared for!! Their teaching techniques are by far the best of any preschool and kindergarten any of my children have ever attended. They make the learning experience so much fun for the kids!! My son went to Bridges and my nephew went to Bridges and I couldn't be happier with them!!

Our little one has been attending Bridges for almost 2 years now and is currently 3yrs 3 mos. He is thriving and developing as we hoped he would. We're really happy with the results we've seen from socializing, experimenting, and learning through scheduled activities, lessons and play time. They even do extra things like teach Spanish words and sign language. Bridges often hosts various drives within the community with which then excites the kids to get involved and participate. As a bonus, they keep the classrooms very clean!

My daughter attends this school and we absolutely love it! The communication between staff and parents is awesome and I appreciate that so much! My daughter absolutely loves going to school everyday, she is learning so much! Everyday she’s singing new songs to us that she learned in school and it’s fun having her teach us at home! Her teacher, Ms. Sabrina is amazing and we could not have asked for a better teacher! All the staff there are welcoming and friendly!

We started attending Bridges this fall and were nervous because we loved our previous daycare, but couldn't attend anymore due to moving. Now just a few months in and I am happy to report Bridges feels like home! All of the staff members warmly greet us each day by name, and I know my son has a great time with his classmates and teachers on a daily basis! We are at the point now that he hardly wants to leave when I come to pick him up! I love their healthy lunch guidelines and warm environment in the hallways and classrooms. I highly recommend Bridges to anyone in need of daycare.

My son is flourishing in the half-day kindergarten class. They do exciting and unique activities that you don't always see in the public school. There is plenty of opportunity to be individuals, creative, and I think it's an absolutely great start to his education. Parent communication is prompt and clear. The staff is fantastic as well

I LOVE BRIDGES!! My three grandchildren have attended Bridges with our youngest grandchild (Keilani Peapealalo- early PK ) still attending. Courtney and Heather are so helpful and just so nice. Ms. Kerry who is Keilani’s teacher has been amazing with our little her. Keilani loves school and has learned ALOT from Ms. Kerry and Ingrid. The teachers are just amazing ( Ms. Lynn and Ms. Aly) at Bridges. Just one big family ❤️

I'm only giving this Dickensian piss factory two stars because they did manage to return my kids relatively unscathed each day. There is nothing good about this place except the AM Begindergarten teacher, Ms. Karen.
The girls at the front desk are idiots and worse, the PM one has a horrible attitude. I never sat down and confirmed pricing with anyone; they backfilled my agreement with a different number than I was quoted when I decided to move my kids there. It actually ended up costing significantly more than the beautiful Montessori school I took them out of. THE ONLY REASON I WAS MOVING
