London Bridge believes in encouraging collaborative relationships, environmental exploration, and creative expression. Our educators act as partners with children and families in the learning experience as it evolves from the perspectives, ideas and theories of children themselves.
All London Bridge locations and programs are licensed under the high standards of the Ministry of Education, providing safe, nurturing and stimulating environments for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarten and school age children.
We believe in the competencies of all children. We view every child as being full of potential and believe that all children have a natural desire to learn and make meaning of their world. We believe that children have the right to live fully in their own childhood – not to be rushed through it.
As Early Childhood Educators, we believe relationships are at the core of everything we do. We are committed to lifelong learning because we believe that growing children deserve growing adults
