Our Bridge Primary Program is a specially formed program to serve children who do not meet ordinary age cutoff dates. Many of these children are older 2-year-olds or young 3-year-olds who require a gentle, supportive transition between home and school, allowing them to progress at their own pace, guided by their curiosity and comfort level.

Montessori Curriculum

At this age, we know that children have a natural desire to experience, explore, and express themselves. The Bridge Primary classroom is thoughtfully prepared with carefully selected Montessori materials that support early development milestones, such as turn-taking and learning to respect others. We engage the children in deeply meaningful activities to help them gain confidence and build a sense of community.

​

• Supporting Independence: We guide our children towards independence by encouraging repetition that leads to mastery of skills. They are given choices and learn to set their own pace. When children are free to complete tasks without feeling rushed, it helps them build focus and a sense of personal accomplishment. Our purposefully designed classroom environment provides a sense of order and consistency, along with engaging hands-on activities that encourage children to explore the classroom.
  ​

• Practical Life Activities: Practical Life activities are one of the most engaging areas of the classroom in the Bridge Primary Program. These activities are modeled after the work children see at home, fostering a sense of responsibility and pride. From pouring water to cleaning a table, each task becomes a joyful opportunity to build independence and self-esteem. Additionally, these activities have the added benefit of honing fine and gross motor skills, teaching new vocabulary, and promoting cognitive growth.
