Our Program
The focus of The Learning Bridge is to support and enhance elementary school education, in a small group setting, while facilitating the social and emotional development of children.
Play-Based Learning
Children learn about their world through play- being able to explore, experiment and discover in imaginative ways is key to their development. The Learning Bridge uses a combination of child-led and teacher- designed play-based learning opportunities to personalize and differentiate students' classroom experiences.
Student-Centered Learning
Close observation of students' interests paves the way for opportunities to extend learning. The Learning Bridge affords children a safe environment to explore areas of interest which will, in turn, increase engagement, promote cooperation and teamwork and make room for individualized learning goals.
Modeling & Problem Solving
Through teacher-modeled problem solving and consistent practice, children begin to develop greater situational and social awareness. The Learning Bridge students become more resilient, responsible and confident, allowing them to advocate for themselves and become more adept at conflict resolution.
