He is now excited to go to school, loves his teachers, made some new friends and is learning in a much more encouraging and understanding environment. The staff is amazing. From the teachers to the administrators, they all go above and beyond. My child's confidence has improved significantly since starting nearly 2 years ago. He is polite, calmer and overall a happier kid. The techniques they use to teach are working. From the "stop, determine, do" method (which we try and practice at home too) to math processes, these teachers really get it. The kids feel happy, included, understood and most of all respected. Thank you New Bridge for literally altering the trajectory of my son's life.

I highly recommend NewBridge!

We moved our child recently from another school to Lifetime after wanting more structure in an…read moreacademic setting, balanced with group play and exploration. Every child and family have different needs and it was important that we found teachers and an administration that was willing to partner with us to address any concerns and proactively work together to find solutions. We have been very impressed with the leadership, admin and teachers' transparency, accountability and communication. So many schools can feel like a corporate profit driven endeavor and we have observed that Lifetime cares deeply about children development and curating their interests. A simple example is that we asked that our child be allowed to observe the classroom Montessori 'work' session in action before making a decision to enroll her formally (this would be the first time our child would observe a Montessori class in person).The school year had already started and the Director, Kristin, asked that we hold off until the second or third week of school so that she could support the teachers to protect the integrity of what they were trying to establish in the new classroom on the first week of school without creating a distraction. She could have easily agreed to allow us to observe sooner so we could enroll earlier (other schools did), etc... it's through small actions and decisions that we felt comfortable placing our child there with a team of educators and admin that truly put the children's wellbeing and needs first. They also have set up a system of room parents that are very helpful to guide fellow parents with onboarding, external play dates and organizing events. There is no perfect childcare or school, but at the end of the day, we chose Lifetime because we are confident that the whole team works together to communicate openly and will partner together to honor what's best for our child. It's also a great sign when the teachers choose to coteach together for multiple years, clearly, they are enjoying it :). Thanks to the whole team for putting in their efforts to create a space for children to explore, learn and play!

My son and daughter have been attending this school for 2 years now. Honestly this place is great…read morebecause of the teachers, a big shout out to Miss Carrie, Ms Casey for the 3 year old class, and Ms Sandra and Ms Cindy for the pre-k Jr class. They are so passionate and nice people, who have so much love for the children. I heard they will have the 2 year old class starting this year led by Ms Casey, I think thats great. The tuition is one of the best and can't really beat the teacher:students ratio here as most places are 1:12 for older kids, but here it never goes more than 1:6. The hours are short though, 9 am-2 pm. So no nap time for the kids but it's ok, they can nap at home, even better for mommy! At this point there's a new director on board and although sometimes there can be some miscommunication between the parents and school, overall I still love this place.

We love the teachers and director for giving our family such a wonderful preschool experience. The school takes a well-rounded approach to the whole child. There is a nice blend of play-based instruction, direct academic enrichment, montessori-style learning, and faith-based learning. My kids are very different and the program has met their needs so well. The kids are exposed to age-appropriate math, science, literacy, and language through experiential learning. My son has become a "biology expert, a chef, and an explore" this year. It is a very small program so the kids get a great deal of individual attention. My 8 year-old is still very close with some of the friends he made while he was here. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to send our children to such a loving program. Because it is so small, the program fills up quickly. Prospective parents must tour the facility and meet with the director prior to enrollment (in mid-March).

She blends various multi-sensory, research-based programs to fit her students' learning profiles so they can gain confidence in their ability to learn making them more motivated, independent learners. During tutoring sessions, students build skills that underpin success in school and in life including: reading, writing, math, communication, organization, critical thinking, social thinking, effective use of tools, and self-advocacy.

In the younger grades especially, there was so much creativity from the classroom layout to the activities themselves that I have never seen in any other school. The children in both general education and special education classrooms are given the attention and encouragement they need to achieve to the best of their abilities, and the school makes a strong point of, even in the elementary grades, reinforcing the idea that the kids there are all college-bound and headed for success. As an aside, on the first day when I arrived and saw all of the pep rallies, the pets in the classrooms, and one class who had gone on a fieldtrip to Legoland that day I thought, Wow, if I were a kid, I'd want to go here! After 5 months of close interaction with the students and teachers "behind the scenes," my opinion on that, both personally and professionally, has remained unchanged.
