Fun, Learning, New Friends!
At Learning Bridge Preschool, we understand the importance of providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children to grow and develop. Our preschool has been serving San Francisco families for over 43 years, and we take pride in our commitment to providing a safe, fun, and educational experience for children ages 2-6. Our highly experienced and dedicated staff create a warm and inclusive atmosphere, allowing children to explore, learn, and thrive at their own pace.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is centered around helping children develop self-esteem through physical, language, and cognitive skills, with an emphasis on social and communicational skills. We believe that each child is unique and deserves to be encouraged to participate in daily experiences that build their character, discover their interests, and establish their self-help skills. Our multicultural curriculum is designed to provide a deeper understanding of subjects, and we strive to create a sense of community among our students, parents, and staff.
Our Services
We offer a range of services designed to support the growth and development of young children. Our play-based curriculum incorporates various activities, including Circle Time, art projects, music time, field trips, gymnastics classes, and weekly dance. We also provide opportunities for children to engage in free-choice activities and active social interactions, which help develop their social and communication skills. Our pre-K/TK classes focus on building the skills necessary for success in Kindergarten, and our experienced teachers work closely with parents to ensure a smooth transition to elementary school.
Our Facility
Our preschool is fully licensed by the Department of Social Services and can accommodate up to 26 children. We are open year-round, with hours from 7:45 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Our facilities are well-equipped and designed to provide a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn and play. We have a large outdoor play area, as well as a range of educational materials and resources to support our curriculum.
