Your instructor, Stacy Dalton
"Besides teaching Special Education in a Project Based Middle School...I work with San Gabriel Springs. SGS is a non-profit organization committed to supporting children and young adults in two ways:
1) those in foster care or young adults who are in a “home-insecure” environment.
2) those with mental, physical, or emotional needs."

Why this mom loves Bridges to Growth . . .
|

"Bridges to Growth is often an untapped resource for parents. Once I found this community support with classes and activities geared toward development of my whole family, I've been grateful to have the program enrich our lives.Bridges to Growth has aided my search for safe and productive activities for my family.
"Safety day is my personal favorite, where they talk about all kinds of safety from car seats to electric wire hazards, plus my kids love sitting in the police car. The Toddler Times have also been helpful to discuss my child's development while they get a chance to be intellectually stimulated by professionals along (with) their peers.
