PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
All Boston’s Bridge To Excellence programs are licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care. All BBTE programs are designed to provide services based on the child care needs for those parents who are working or in a training program. The programs are operated by trained educators who design and implement a wide range of activities, which encourage participation and recognition. The BBTE program is designed to provide child care during after school hours and at times during the year when children are not in school, and need supervised care the most. The hours of the program change during non-school periods. Children are exposed to a variety of activities and are given the opportunity to choose from a selection of teacher-facilitated activities as well as mandatory participation in activities designed for specific age groups. Children are not forced into programs that they cannot participate in due to physical or emotional impairments. A group’s maturity level and physical capabilities are used in program curriculums. Differentiation of instruction is regularly applied.
MISSION
MISSION
Boston's Bridge to Excellence (BBTE) mission is to provide enrichment programming that empowers youth from economically distressed areas to become leaders of change in their communities. We help youth in grades K through 7th to build academic skills, develop leadership skills, and engage in experiential and service-learning opportunities so they have the tools needed to reach their full potential in a global society.
