Welcome to Bridges
Since 2012, Bridges Childcare and Learning Center has been providing exceptional care for children aged 1-5 years in Surrey, BC. We're a family-owned center where your child's happiness, safety, and growth are our top priorities.
What Makes Us Different We believe childhood should be spent outdoors, exploring, learning, and growing. Our exceptional backyard with blueberry bushes and daily nature walks give children the freedom to be curious, creative, and active. Inside and out, we create a true "home away from home."
Our Approach Play-based learning • Outdoor exploration • Small group sizes • Individual attention
Meet Corena, Director & OwnerI opened Bridges with my mom Ingrid in 2012, combining our passion for early childhood education. Though Ingrid passed away in 2019, her legacy lives on in everything we do. I love Monday mornings - greeting our families and starting each week with smiles and new adventures. My goal is simple: care for every child like they're my own and give every family a positive experience.

A Place to Be a Child
We create an environment where curiosity thrives and imagination runs wild. Children are valued for who they are, not rushed to be something else. Through play, exploration, and genuine care, we nurture each child's unique personality and help them discover their world at their own pace.
Outdoor Learning Every Day
Our exceptional backyard, local trails, and nearby parks mean your child spends real time outdoors - rain or shine. From our treehouse and mud kitchen to digging and forest exploration, children develop strength, confidence, and a deep respect for nature. Inside, our bright, organized spaces offer art, music, dramatic play, and plenty of room to learn and grow.
Our Mission
To provide high-quality childcare in a warm, nurturing environment that encourages natural curiosity, fosters independence, and builds confidence. We prioritize outdoor play because nature is where children truly thrive - it's more stimulating, less stressful, and healthier for growing minds and bodies.
Outdoor-First Philosophy
Maximum outdoor time daily in our exceptional backyard, plus walks to nearby trails and parks. Children dig, climb, and explore - building strength, confidence, and wonder.
Play-Based Learning
Play is how children learn best. We provide endless opportunities for creative exploration, social development, and joyful discovery.
Experience Curriculum
We proudly use Experience Curriculum - a play-based, child-led approach that supports each child's unique interests, strengths, and development stage. Learning happens through meaningful experiences, exploration, and relationships, helping children build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
