桥项目

The 自然’s Nursery Bridge program models the New York State Kindergarten Standards that provide the framework for the learning and development of the whole child.

a program that meets your child’s needs 

Kindergarten is the gateway into school for children and their families, whether they are coming directly from a home environment or a formal preschool program. For children who do not meet the Kindergarten age requirement or who may need additional preparation, 我们提供 桥项目 that builds on the foundational knowledge gained at the preschool level, and ensures academic and social-emotional readiness.

Our program is enhanced by 绿色的烟囱’ renowned nature-based programming and increased outdoor activities that offer unique experiential learning opportunities. Small class size enables individualized instruction and support for each student. Our goal is to create a caring community of learners, ensure a sense of belonging, support children’s development and learning, and provide meaningful and integrated learning experiences.
