    As a faculty member of the Bank Street Graduate School of Education, I want my grad students, who…read moreare all student teaching in public and private schools, to visit a home-based program, in order to experience a variety of programs for young children. I bring them to Little Bridge to experience "best practice" in a high-quality home environment. Two of my graduate students and I had a delightful visit to Little Bridge this morning. When we arrived, the children were beginning their dramatic play, and play with manipulative materials. The children were "going to the beach," working with small vehicles, and working with manipulative materials. All twelve children were actively engaged in meaningful activity: planning, negotiating, solving conflicts with the help and support of the two teachers, Stefania and Jessica. After "clean-up," the children joyfully danced and did movement exercises to music, and then washed their hands and had a convivial lunch. Throughout our visit, the children were happy, busy, and confident. It was very apparent that they felt safe and secure. Stefania and Jessica are both experienced teachers with a profound understanding of child development and developmentally appropriate curriculum, and a deep respect for young children. They have provided an environment where children can create, express themselves, learn to work with others, and thrive in all domains--cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. Bay Ridge families are fortunate to have this high-quality program available to them.

    Little Bridge is an environment of such rich care and love from Stefania and Jessica. I am so…read moreimpressed at the level of detail that each week provides for my son's learning, play and socialization. The Little Bridge program is in line with how I want to parent. Communicating feelings and needs and a high level of conciousness with everything that's done.

    This brief Yelp is for the church that's connected to the Visitation Academy School. The school…read moreitself and the grounds are private property and the general public cannot access them. As far as a House Of Worship goes, I do like coming here for Mass on Sunday as its rather close to my apartment building. Its a two plus block walk as opposed to the other churches which as five and ten blocks walk if you were opting for one of those. The interesting thing about this particular church is that there are two sections. The part that the public can enter into and then off to the right hand side of the altar is the section where the nuns sit. You really don't see them unless one is doing one of the readings or when they are going up to receive Communion and I should point out that they are served first and then the public congregants. I've only recently been choosing to come here for the Sunday mass since there is one at 9AM and the priest seems to be visiting from another country. I am not certain that they have a priest of their own in residence for those who are concerned about that. There is an organist and occasional choir up above. There is no proper collection to support the church and school but a basket is available for donations should you be feeling charitable. I also didn't notice any sort of votive candles in this section but there are some beautiful statues and paintings. Other masses are sporadic in times but I do think there is a daily morning mass that begins around 8AM if going there interests you.

    Tiny Tots is a really special place and I recommend it highly to any family looking for a Pre-K for…read moretheir child. It's been caring for and teaching kids in Bay Ridge literally for generations - the founder was the mom of the current director, Kim Pomaro ("Ms. Kim"), and Kim's daughter, Aimee, is the head teacher in one of the two classrooms. I don't quite know how to articulate all the ways Tiny Tots is great, but the Pomaros are just kid people, and so are the other fantastic teachers there (who my son had), and they've create a wonderful kid-oriented culture. It's nurturing and warm, and they also expect kids to learn things - like how to write their name - that they'll need to know in Kindergarten. Here's an example of what makes Tiny Tots special: this spring after the school year ended with 3 months of remote learning, they held a socially distanced, one family at a time, "graduation" ceremony to mark the end of the year and give the kids a sense of completion and achievement. At the ceremony and again on the last video class the next day, most or all of the teachers had tears in their eyes, sad to see the kids go, and proud of how they'd grown. My family will always remember Tiny Tots with great affection and I can't recommend them highly enough.

    Best pre-school in Bay Ridge!…read more I went here decades ago and now my daughter is having the same beautiful, nurturing and stimulating experience with the SAME teachers 35 years later! The environment is so warm, the staff is professional yet caring and caters to each and every child's individual needs with the utmost care for their development and growth as both students and little humans. My daughter RUNS to school and hugs all her teachers upon entering and leaving. This establishment has been in business since the 1930s and serving our community for that long for a reason: they care. They are a family-run school and treat each and every student and parent like extended family. I cannot give them enough stars or recommend them more highly!
