Bridges At Wesley Early Learning Center

My daughter has been attending Bridges since she was 7 months old. As a first time parent it’s really nerve wracking trying to pick a place and entrust someone with your child. My daughter was also very fussy at the time and had sleep issues, so I was worried she wouldn’t acclimate well. To my relief, she not only acclimated well but thrived. I’ve had such a great experience throughout my daughter’s time here. Each teacher truly cares for and gets to know each child and many of the staff have become what I consider friends. My daughter comes home every day with something new she’s learned and absolutely LOVES her teacher. I fell so lucky to have found Bridges.

I am so grateful for the incredible care and love my daughter receives every day at Bridges. Her main teachers, Ms. Milenca and Ms. Venessa, have made such a meaningful impact on her growth, happiness, and confidence. Ms. Milenca is truly wonderful at creating fun, engaging sensory activities that keep the children excited and focused. I especially appreciate the thoughtful updates she sends throughout the week. They mean so much on the days I extra miss my daughter. I love how she introduces new words in both English and Spanish, and she is always so proud of her students, offering constant praise and encouragement that really boosts their confidence. Her sweet, energetic presence makes such a positive difference in the classroom. Ms. Venessa, who she considers as “one of the kids” loves to sing and dance with the children, bringing so much joy and energy into the classroom. She is always organized and attentive, making sure our daughter’s needs are met, and she does an incredible job recognizing her strengths and using them to help her grow. We especially appreciated her encouragement to sign our daughter up for dance classes, which is something she absolutely loves and thrives in. I also want to recognize Ms. Donna, who was our daughter’s former teacher and continues to play an active role in her care and development. She regularly checks in with us and does drop-in visits to see our daughter, offering comfort and reassurance whenever needed. It means so much to know that even after transitioning classrooms, Ms. Donna remains so involved and invested in our daughter’s growth. I’d also like to thank Ms. Cecilia, who helps in the mornings by feeding her breakfast and making drop-off smooth and comforting. She often plays our daughter’s favorite music when she arrives, helping her start the day feeling happy and at ease. All the Bridges staff greet my daughter with big smiles, and she responds with smiles and hugs right back. This says everything. She receives so much encouragement, praise, and snuggles throughout the day. I truly trust that she is happy, safe, and deeply cared for every time I drop her off. We feel incredibly lucky to have such a loving and dedicated “family” caring for our daughter.

Bridges is an amazing pre school. The staff is friendly, welcoming and has great communication with parents. It is easy to see they genuinely love working there. The faith based curriculum is challenging and engaging, with creative, hands-on lessons. My daughter has been going there for a year. Her development has been impressive and she looks forward to attending each day. The school is clean and well organized keeping the children healthy and safe. It’s reassuring to drop her off and know is in good hands.

Loved this sweet preschool. My son’s teachers were warm and approachable every day which is critical for this age group. They were diligent in their communication and my son loved sharing what he would learn in class. Administration had an open-door policy and always immediately responsive to questions.

My son has been at Bridges since he was 12 weeks old and I feel so lucky we ended up here. The staff truly takes the time to know each child. There have been countless times that I’ve been picking my son up and staff I haven’t met yet will call him by name, tell me how big he’s gotten and my son will light up in return. I’ll walk into the office to drop something off and be met with a funny story or a new habit he’s picked up. On multiple occasions, his caregivers have reached out outside of their work hours to check in on him when he’s been out sick. It is such a blessing to have caregivers that know and care for my boy so well. For us, Bridges has become part of our “village” and we feel so blessed to have them.
