My daughter has attended Bridges for 12 years, from Toddler through 8th grade. It has been the most amazing experience of education that I could ever dream up. I wish I could have gone to this school! They are focused on always bringing out the best in all their students, on teaching responsibility, and creating a safe learning environment for everyone! My daughter loves it there so much, that even though they don't have a 9th grade (yet) she wants to stay there next year! I would give them 10 stars if I could!!!

My daughter has been attending Bridges since she was 12 months old, in the infant room. She is now almost three and will be moving to Pre-primary in the fall. I can not rave enough about how wonderful this school is. Bridges is everything I wanted and expected for her. I have no need for daycare, I wanted my daughter to be in an enriched educational and social environment and that is exactly what she has found. I was upset to see the first two reviews of the school and was suprised at what was written because I have found the exact opposite. My daughters teacher right now has been teaching Montessori for 20 something years and is amazing at her job. I rave about this school and will be sad to have to find another school after 5th grade!

My daughter has attended Bridges since she was 18 months old. What I loved for that age was that is was learning environment, not a daycare. Now, she is a Pelican/Pre-Primary group where she is in a co-ed classroom of 30 'friends' ages 3-6. Here, 3 year olds get exposed to what the 4 & 5 year olds are learning and the older students mentor the younger ones. And because she has had the same teacher in the same classroom for 3 years, she dives right into learn...rather than having to adjust to a new environment at this age. She has flourished mentally, physically & socially. Great parent involvement. A truly caring campus where every teacher knows my daughter's name even if they have not taught her. The student's wellbeing and respecting the learning curve of each child is top priority. It's a customized learning environment to each student. A++++++

We put our son in the Pelican class last year, and this year he is in Ibis (Gr 1-3). If your son/daughter wants to learn how to think, solve problems, interact with others, and become a responsible person early in life - then a Montessori education and in particular Bridges Montessori makes a lot of sense. The teachers are very engaged, they know our son as well as (and in some cases better) than my wife and I do, and they are VERY focused on keeping him moving in the right direction both educationally and socially. My wife grew up in a Catholic school, and swore that our son/daughter would ALWAYS go to a Catholic school, and now would tell anyone that asks her that she would recommend that they put their child in this school before any other public or private learning institution.
