Bridge Group is a unique program that meets the needs of an older toddler, who is\u00a0not ready for a full day program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Children learn how to say good-bye to their parent or caregiver and become part of a group.\u00a0 They practice taking initiative as they make choices throughout the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Teachers facilitate social interaction among the children as they play.\u00a0 Children learn the beginnings of problem solving, how to take turns, and begin to make lasting friendships. At the end of the program parents are invited back to sing songs and say good-bye.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Step was a defining moment in both my children\u2019s lives. I still recall the first day I met Ina (upon recommendation of a friend who was a First Step family). She was so easy to talk to. There was no formal tour or interview. We had a lovely chat and she could see that like many Moms looking at preschools for the first time, I was incessantly asking all manner of questions. The only thing she said was, let Griffin play and see how he does.<\/p>

\u201cI could never have imagined leaving a two year old at school, but then again I could never have imagined a safer, more nurturing place for Juliet than First Step.<\/p>

\u201cFirst Step is special. It's not just a place I drop off my kids. There is an open door policy so you'll often see parents observing their kids or chatting with one another, and families whose kids have outgrown preschool often come back to visit. We have made such lovely friends in a short time, and met families from all over the world. It has really been a warm, welcoming place for us.\"<\/p>
