Bridges Kinder Connection Daycare is not a franchise, it is a family owned and operated establishment. The owners have extensive experience and have been working in the field of ECE for over 20 years. Originally the program was exclusively a Nursery School located at 1089 Dunbarton Road, but in 1985 Bridges Kinder Connection expanded into a full day program and opened across the street in the Dunbarton-Fairport United Church. Although we are located in the United Church, we are in no way affiliated with this organization.
