Here at The Bridge Center we are committed to providing both the opportunities and the supports that all families and children need to enjoy happy, healthy & productive lives. We provide programs and services that meet the needs of all children regardless of the nature or the severity of their disability.
A Place to Play – Fun & play must be accessible to all children. They provide opportunities to make friends, share experiences, discover abilities, and uncover talents. At The Bridge Center we work to ensure that all children have the necessary supports to push their boundaries while having fun!
A Place to Learn – We provide hands-on experiences in a safe, nurturing environment that empower children to acquire meaningful skills they will use throughout their lives. In all aspects of our programs, children and families learn to trust themselves, to adapt to new situations, to respond to challenges, and to take pride in their successes. Here at The Bridge Center our trained staff work with children one-on-one and in small groups to ensure that learning is an integral part of every experience.
A Place to Grow – Supportive experiences have the power to shape the way our children identify their place in their ever-expanding worlds. Here at The Bridge Center we help children develop the confidence, awareness, and insight that allows them to draw on their prior experiences to help them actively participate at home, in school and throughout their communities.
