Our Mission/Vision
Our Mission
Learning Bridge Early Education Center was founded in 1944 in Evanston, Illinois, to fill the need for childcare as large numbers of women worked outside the home in WWII. It is the longest standing and most comprehensive full day, full year preschool center for working families in Evanston. THE LEARNING BRIDGE MISSION is to provide equitable access to high-quality early learning in a caring and safe environment so that every child thrives. We believe in affordable and accessible childcare and preschool education for children of all socioeconomic backgrounds.
