Creative Bridges was my daughter’s home away from home for three years, and we could not have asked for a better or more loving environment for her.
The teachers were all wonderful; we always felt as though our daughter was being challenged and held to firm but loving standards. She learned so much in addition to academics. The curriculum was engaging and diverse; I love that she was taught many of the old childhood favorite songs and poems and reading some of the best in children’s literature.
I miss not having the cooperative element in my daughter’s new school. I felt that that was an irreplaceable part of the experience, and I would not trade it for anything. I always felt welcome and appreciated when I was in class, and many of the special days (Rodeo Day, Stone Soup, Pajama Breakfast) were some of our most memorable times.
My daughter is doing very well academically and socially in her new school, and I know it because of the firm foundation she was given at Creative Bridges. We were so fortunate to have had the instructors at CBCP present in our child’s early years. We miss them, and Creative Bridges will always have a fond place in our hearts!
