Newbridge Children's Academy

The mission of NewBridge Childrens Academy is to provide a safe and nurturing
environment where young scholars can develop the skills they need to become lifelong
learners. The Academy maintains a balance of emotional, spiritual, social, cognitive, and
physical learning opportunities to enhance the development of each child. Our
educators are committed to supporting the healthy development of all children and offer
advanced learning opportunities to meet individual needs. We want to provide children
with a strong foundation so they can be successful in any setting.

To accomplish this mission, NewBridge Childrens Academy will:
Offer developmentally enriching activities
Offer appropriate materials and equipment
Provide a safe environment that is clean, healthy, and child-friendly
Openly communicate with parents fostering mutual trust and respect
Provide on-going educational opportunities to staff
Provide opportunities for children to grow spiritually through Bible verses,
stories, prayer, and song

NewBridge Childrens Academy provides an advanced curriculum while maintaining low
student/teacher ratios. The state-of-the-art facility provides additional learning
opportunities such as PlaySpanish and our very own music program to all children. The
academy also utilizes the Saxon Early Learning program for the four year old and
transitional kindergarten classrooms. The Saxon Early Learning program is a nationally
recognized resource for preschool children. The program includes language
development, literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, creative arts, social and
emotional development, physical health and development, and technology. To assist in
spiritual development, the Cokesbury Christian Curriculum helps children learn about
Jesus, understand Gods love for them, and helps them discover their gifts in Gods
world, such as their minds, bodies, families, and friends. These lessons integrate
developmentally appropriate activities with religious development and are designed to
help teachers make faith connections. In addition to the regular curriculum, four and five
year old children will be offered dance classes for an extra fee.

NewBridge Childrens Academy is overseen by a full-time Administrative Director.
Amanda Hommell, the Administrative Director, has a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Elementary Education. She is also a National Board Certified Teacher in Early
Childhood and has her certification in gifted education.

Lead Teachers, Teachers, and Teachers Assistants are carefully selected based on
their credentials. Previous training, education, experience and dedication to providing
children with nurturing, Christian care is essential to working at NewBridge Childrens
Academy. Staff members are required to undergo background checks before being hired
