About Us
Alternative Daycare Program
Bridge to Play Academy offers an alternative childcare program designed for children ages 2–6 who benefit from a structured, supportive environment. Unlike traditional daycare, our program is behavior-focused and play-based, blending developmental support with compassionate care.
Our trained staff use positive reinforcement, clear routines, and social-emotional strategies (like Conscious Discipline) to help children succeed. Whether your child struggles with challenging behaviors or just needs extra guidance in a smaller, more individualized setting, we’re here to meet them where they are.
Throughout the day, children engage in purposeful play, group activities, and early learning opportunities that build skills in communication, social interaction, independence, and emotional regulation. We provide a low child-to-staff ratio to ensure that every child receives the attention, structure, and encouragement they need to thrive.
Bridge to Play is the bridge between home and school — a safe, developmentally appropriate space for children to grow, connect, and succeed.
Learning Through Play
Play is how children learn best. Our program incorporates intentional play-based activities that support language, social-emotional development, early academics, and problem-solving skills — all while having fun!
Behavior-Friendly Environment
We specialize in caring for children who may not thrive in traditional daycare settings. Our trained staff understand challenging behaviors and are equipped to provide guidance, consistency, and compassionate care throughout the day.
When Typical Daycare Isn’t Enough
Some kids just need a different approach — and that’s exactly what we offer.
At Bridge to Play Academy, we welcome children who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsupported in typical daycare environments. Whether your child has big emotions, high energy, difficulty with transitions, or behaviors that need extra guidance, our team is trained to respond with patience, structure, and care.
We don’t expect kids to change to fit into a system — we adjust our system to support them. Through predictable routines, intentional play, behavior-focused strategies, and nurturing relationships, we create a space where children feel safe enough to try, fail, grow, and succeed.
Here, every child is seen, supported, and celebrated — exactly as they are.
