We have openings available and would love for everyone to come check it out!
Our goal is to support our Northstar and Bridges MN families by providing exceptional supervision and education FREE OF COST, as well as a multicultural awareness for children through a diverse and inclusive environment.
NorthBridge Child Development uses the Life Essentials Curriculum. It begins with the natural curiosity present in every child. By focusing on elements fundamental to a child’s growth. Character education, STEM-infused technology and health and fitness experiences are a big part of this curriculum that you won't find in others.
Our curriculum will focus on the individual child. This program allows teachers to make lessons that will provide all learners with a stimulating education while also allowing them to develop at their own pace and enjoy learning. It allows for flexibility so we can meet the needs of all children in our care.
We understand that children learn through play, exploration and interaction; so we will provide classrooms that provide these opportunities and experiences. We have age appropriate learning areas that will help encourage exploration and discovery while children learn new skills.
If you are interested in signing up your child(ren), please email our center director, Amanda Lanahan, at amandal@bridgesmn.com

Happy Parents!
“We are loving the childcare at NorthBridge! It has been so good for Clara to be with other kids during the day through distance learning and they have done a great job helping her complete her school assignments. Desmond (3 year old) just started this week and wakes up so excited to go to “school”!”
“Success story for you all. Last night Violet wanted to sit down and show me she can write some letters. If you look at the black folder in her bag, you can see all of the letters. She was so proud! And I once again, have to thank you all for all of your time spent with her and helping her learn her letters!”
“My experience with NorthBridge Childcare has been nothing short of amazing. From the very first day my daughter loved it. When distance learning started she completed her assignments, had encouragement in her teachers at the center and had a great time. My daughter has enjoyed making new friends, learning new things, and has enjoyed distance learning. I highly recommend NorthBridge Childcare! ”
