Welcome to Natural Bridges Children Center

​

I am so happy you are here viewing our Natural Bridges Children's Center's website and hope you find all of the information you need to help make your decision in choosing a quality preschool easier. I understand the overwhelming task it is of deciding which preschool is best for your child. There are not only scheduling and affordability options to consider, but also, educational philosophies and curriculum to compare.

When touring the many wonderful preschools in this town you will have many questions to ask. A few I hold as personal foundational baselines and unwavering top priorities are the following: 

How does the school prioritize safety?

Are administrators and staff 'incident command' trained?

Is the school prepared for the various scenarios, such an emergency may arise?

What is the schools emergency communication process with families?

What are the staff's degrees and certifications in child development, neuroscience and developmentally appropriate practices?

Does the school's culture foster and cultivate children's emotional intelligence, and foster kind, compassionate behaviors?

And finally...

Does the school see children for the unique and amazing humans they are?

When, after your tour, you can answer yes to all of the above, and if the school meets all of your additional criteria, you know you have found the right place.

We are thrilled to talk to you about our school, child development, our brain based curriculum, emergency protocols, academic philosophies, and the importance of quality early childhood education to your child’s successful transition into kindergarten.

Everyone here at NBCC is passionate about working with young children, and are committed to providing exceptional care and enriching experiences.
Look around our website and if you are inspired by what you read, give us a call to set up a tour!

If, for any reason, NBCC is not your school, we are happy to guide you in the direction of one of the many other wonderful preschools in Santa Cruz County.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Very Warmest,
