Our approach to Teaching and Learning revolves around helping students find success, happiness, and fulfillment in the current (and future) world. We strongly believe in developing not only language and cognitive learning, but also social/emotional and executive skills (such as independence, curiosity, decision-making, cooperation, persistence, creativity, and problem-solving - the fundamental skills that help determine success in life).
We know that deciding on the right school for your children can be a very difficult one and we know that as parents, you demand the best for your children. Look no further, 9th Bridge offers a very unique learning environment for the entrepreneurs and creators inherent in us all. We invite you to join our community of 9th Bridge families who are ready for active exploration, collaboration and innovation.

Our curriculum is built upon the importance of Social & Emotional Development, Critical Thinking, and Integrated Academic Skills (see Content Areas).
9th Bridge is located in a beautiful, historical building that has been renovated into an innovative early childhood and elementary school. The 9th Bridge environment promotes exploration, collaboration, and experiential learning. The 9th Bridge building was originally constructed in 1946, and we tried to keep as much of the original character as possible.

Our little started in the young toddler room this year. So far so good. School has a great staff and creates a great environment for learning. Everyone there is really invested in establishing solid educational foundation for all the kids. Great location downtown, and the building / classrooms are really nice. Teachers and staff are so nice, super helpful, and the children really respond to them well.

What can I say - we made a right choice for our daughter ! She went to Turning Point in LA and we loved every aspect of that school . Being new to Vegas and making such an important decision was not easy
We toured a few schools in Las Vegas and after spending time researching , reading and understanding the direction of 9th Bridge we couldn't be happier that we made decision to be here !
Innovative, personable , happy , simple , dynamic , creative ! I can't wait for tomorrow and can't wait to see what this year will bring us
We are happy!
Thank you 9th Bridge

I love working at 9th bridge school! This is my second year teaching Preschool there. 9th Bridge only hires high quality teachers that are very passionate about their teaching and students. I am an expecting mother to be & can't wait for my little guy to attend this school. I would feel more than comfortable and confident that he will be well taken care of. Schedule a tour you won't be disappointed you did!

My daughter went to 9th Bridge for Pre-K and she learned so much! It provided an excellent start for her school career, and now, as a second grader, I still see her using the skills 9th Bridge taught her on a daily basis.
My son is currently at 9th Bridge and he absolutely loves it. He often asks if I can pick him later so he can stay at 9th Bridge longer! The environment is so incredibly supportive, and the staff genuinely cares about the kids. I love hearing what he learned every day. For us, this has been the best possible preschool experience in Las Vegas.

I love my job! I've been a toddler teacher at 9th Bridge School for four school years now and I can honestly say I love going into work. This school gives endless opportunities for the staff and children in many ways. I've grown so much each year because of the wonderful colleagues I've gotten to work with and I feel like I'm a greater teacher because of it. This school focuses on authentic positive Social and emotional development from 12 months and up, incorporating hands on learning, and focuses on building great loving leaders of the future!

We found 9th Bridge School 18 months ago after relocating from Hawaii. Our 4 year old instantly became comfortable with all the teachers and support staff. We started our 2 year old this fall and he loves going to school every day. The facilities and curriculum are top notch! They also have an outdoor gardening program that my kids love. I would recommend this school to anyone looking to send their children to one of Vegas' top schools.

I've been a preschool teacher for 9 years, and I've been lucky enough to find 9th Bridge! This is my third year teaching here, and my own daughter attended for 2 years.
I absolutely LOVE their project based learning approach! This place is full of amazing teachers, happy kids, and so much joyful and playful learning! Ive never worked somewhere with such high standards, low ratios and beautiful materials and environment. If you believe in children directing their own learning through play, inquiry and solving real world problems, you must check out this school!

The Skinny: the 6 months follow-up review. Please see the initial review for more details about the school.
So my daughter has been enrolled in the Toddler's 2 program for 6 months and she has been doing great. We are amazed at all the new things she and her classmates learn every day. We drive 40 minutes a day to get her to and from school and we feel it is well worth it.
Looking ahead, we are really excited about the project based learning program as the kids get older. To be honest, it is a lot of work for the teachers to try and incorporate the curriculum based upon a topic that the

I cannot say enough wonderful things about 9th Bridge or the amazing staff and teachers they have. We are in the process of moving out of state, and seeing other private schools elsewhere has really showed us just how lucky we are here. 9th Bridge is like no other school, and we are very sad to leave. Putting our son in 9th Bridge the last two school years was one of the best decisions we have ever made. He has grown and excelled in ways we could not have imagined. The education and activities are so well-rounded and focus on the needs of the children in each particular age group. Our son is excited

My little guy spent his first few months here and we really really loved it. A few things stuck out:
1. The place was like Fort Knox to get in and out. Super important with kids. Made me feel he was safe.
2. It was very clean.
3. When one child in the room had something contagious, they called to let us know and then sanitized.
4. His teacher Miss Danielle was very kind and good with him. We adored her. The whole staff was nice!
We only left due to my work schedule changing and we needed something closer to our home.
I really felt like he was at a school and not a daycare. This difference

My son (6 yrs old) is starting his second year at 9th Bridge in the Fall. We transferred him to 9th Bridge part way through his Kindergarten year from his public school because he was not doing well in that environment. The change we saw in him in a matter of a week after changing schools was overwhelming. We were amazed that the teachers and staff at 9th Bridge were able to reignite his love of learning and his curiosity and his creativity so quickly and the motivations and skills he learned in that half a year have stuck with him even over the summer hiatus. Our son can't wait to start

9th Bridge is an exceptionally personalized daycare. The staff know all the children by name, and when you walk into the school, everyone is friendly and outgoing. Every week, they send out content to the parents with tips on how to help foster child development (age-appropriate) as well as photos from activities during the week. They have brand new, clean facilities and great security, which is nice for ease of mind. Though the school is small and new, it's focused on building a strong community of 9th Bridge families across ages to foster lasting friendships.

My son (~2) has been attending 9th Bridge since its inception and it has been incredible! The curriculum exposes the children to such a broad range of experiences while also allowing the kids to lead themselves through activities. My son's teacher also took the initiative to help in developmental areas that he was behind in and we have worked together to implement plans and strategies to improve his skills in those areas. Our experience with 9th Bridge has superseded all expectations and we're enrolling our second kid in the school soon!

I have two children (~2 and ~4) attending 9th Bridge. My experience with preschools is from doing quite a lot of research in Manhattan NYC and our son attending a great school there. We looked at schools in NYC that were upwards of $40k per year and 9th Bridge is on the way to becoming just as great as those schools. Everyone has been tremendous thus far and there is a strong community forming right here in downtown Las Vegas.
