Bryden Academy was established in 2004 when Denise & her husband Bryce decided to buy the business & renamed it Bryden, which came from the first 3 letters of their names, BRY and DEN.
Bryden Academy has received various "BABY STEPS" grants, "NEXT STEPS" grants and a "QUALITY IMPROVEMENT" grants over the years to help improve the classrooms and playgrounds. With each grant, teachers are required to continue training year after year by taking appropriate early childhood courses and upholding certain guidelines (ITERS guidelines) in their classrooms that are given by the state.

Our Objectives
- To provide a positive, home-like atmosphere that the children feel comfortable in. An environment that will help strengthen the physical, intellectual and emotional growth of the children each day.
- Use positive guidance techniques to strengthen the childs self-esteem & help them focus on developing self help & problem solving skills
- Provide an environment where learning happens as a result of "FUN"; that is done by providing lots of activities for exploring, hands-on “free play”, as well as “structured” learning activities throughout the day that are appropriate for the developmental age of the child
We know childcare is a very important decision for each & every parent to make, but we strive everyday to earn your complete confidence and trust that your childs every needs are met each day!
