Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
The mix of teachers at Gates and Bridges is well-balanced and each brings their own strengths. They take pride (and it is reassuring as a parent) that they have a great retention rate with all having been there between 5 and 25+ years. Can't say enough about this small, but dedicated staff and volunteers.

Parent #2
The teachers provide a great balance, the musician, the arts & crafts guru, the nurturer, and the relationship builder. They each have an area of expertise that results in a well-rounded experience for the kids.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
