Nature & Science

Hands-on exploration, sensory bins, garden time, and curiosity-driven discovery.

"My daughter has been attending Discovery Bridge for the past six months, and the progress she has made since starting has been truly remarkable. Thanks to the incredible support of her teachers, Ms. Charlene and Ms. Shannon, along with Director Ms. Jamie, she has gained the tools to communicate more effectively and manage her emotions. I can say with complete confidence that, in any emergency, I would feel at ease knowing my daughter is in such capable and compassionate hands."

"We have been with Discovery Bridge for two years. My oldest started last year and my youngest started attending this year as well. Mrs. Jamie and her team plan so many fun activities for the kids in the classroom as well as family events and field trips. We love that they do lots of outside time weather permitting."

"My son went to Discovery Bridge for two years and we absolutely loved it! Jamie and her team went above and beyond to make sure he was ready for kindergarten and more! He was above average starting kindergarten and exceeding in all areas! We love this preschool and its Christian-based, fun, safe environment."

"We did 2 years at Discovery Bridge Preschool and loved it! The Christian curriculum is great and I love the handwriting without tears program. The teachers are wonderful. Lots of outside and creative play, community guests visit and teach the children, and the family night events are fantastic. We love Ms. Jamie and her team."

"Absolutely love Discovery Bridge! We were looking for a true school environment, rather than daycare, and Jamie and her team delivered. They go above and beyond for the kids! My hope for my son was that he would love to learn, and he does — every single day."
