Bridge Classrooms and Twos Program in Connecticut
BRIDGE (2-3 YEARS)
Fostering Independent Learning & Collaboration
At Strong Start, we know that two-year-olds are natural explorers; always on the move and full of questions about the world around them. Our Twos Program is designed with this boundless curiosity in mind, offering your child a warm and vibrant space to wonder, create, and connect every single day.
We believe that learning should feel like an adventure, not a chore. That’s why our Bridge Classrooms are filled with hands-on experiences and friendly faces, so your child can grow into their independence with confidence. In our care, you’ll find:
- Safe, age-appropriate classrooms designed for curious minds and active bodies
- Experienced educators who know how to spark discovery and nurture every child’s unique interests
- A welcoming community where your family is always part of the journey
What is The Strong Start Twos Program?
Our Twos Program, also known as the Bridge Classroom, is built around the idea that every child is a capable, creative learner. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and grounded in Connecticut’s Early Learning and Development Standards, we help your two-year-old find their voice, build friendships, and develop the skills that set the stage for a lifetime of learning.
Here’s what sets our program apart:
- Play-based, inquiry-driven learning: Your child leads the way, guided by their own questions and interests
- Hands-on discovery: From sensory tables to art projects, every activity is an opportunity to explore
- Gentle support for social and emotional growth: Learning to share, express feelings, and build friendships
- Early language and communication: Songs, stories, and daily conversations nurture your child’s budding language skills
- Physical development: Active play, movement games, and outdoor adventures help strengthen growing bodies
