Mission: The Bridges Preschool Program at The Therapy Place is a holistic, therapeutic approach to child development. We employ the skills and expertise of physical, occupational, and speech therapists, as well as educators, parents, and other staff. The main goal of Bridges is to encourage independence, cognitive development, and socialization. We believe in using a transdisciplinary approach to meet the individual needs of the whole child.<\/p>\n
Our Classroom: Many of the students in Bridges use visual schedules throughout their day. We encourage learning independently by allowing time for children to make choices and explore their environment, too. We promote socialization in which children not only learn from staff, but the other students in the program, as well. We encourage creativity, play, and communication with peers. Throughout the day, the children participate in music, art, and story time, as well as academics, gross motor, and fine motor centers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
