About this preschool

Community Bridges' Early Education Division operates six centers across Santa Cruz County providing nurturing and affordable early education. The program emphasizes bilingual curriculum, low teacher-to-child ratios, and play-based learning with a focus on school readiness.

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