About this preschool

Community Bridges Early Education Division operates six centers across Santa Cruz County providing nurturing, affordable early education with bilingual, play-based curriculum. The organization emphasizes low teacher-to-child ratios, family partnerships, and subsidized care for qualified low-income families.

Philosophy
Through positive guidance and dynamic bilingual curriculum, we create a foundation for children's healthy development and school readiness. Teachers serve as guides and companions rather than controllers, fostering love of learning, literacy and numeracy skills, social-emotional development, curiosity, exploration, creativity, cooperation, problem-solving, and respect for self, family, community and environment.
Hours
Monday – Friday: 8am to 4pm
Outdoor
Outdoor play spaces being transformed through 'Blacktop to Bloom' project with nature-based learning environments, trees, gardens, eco-friendly play structures, shaded play areas, and vegetable gardens.
