Get Social with BridgeWay
When children play pretend, they learn empathy and practice social skills. In the photos above, a child is playing with some plastic animals and a toy stethoscope. You can see how gentle they are with the animals as they listen to the cow's heartbeat! They are learning social skills by responding to the animals' needs and learning empathy by showing understanding that the cow might need some extra support or something to eat!

Staying active is so important for children's physical and mental health. Exercising strengthens large and small muscles, while developing coordination skills. This helps children to stand, walk, run, climb, crawl, jump and so much more! When children are active, they build a better understanding of their bodies, develop boundaries to assess risk ("Am I climbing too high?"), and grow a love of exercise! At our programs, we provide lots of opportunities for children to get active. Swipe ➡️ to see!
