Maya is excited about kindergarten, especially the rooftop recreation area. She loves pink, Mario Brothers and video games. She’ll miss doing journals in Pre-K and dreams of becoming a doctor.
Aaliyah can’t wait to meet new friends. She loves pink and purple and playing housekeeping. While she’ll miss her friends staying behind in Pre-K, she’s ready for her next adventure—and dreams of becoming a singer.
Mateo is looking forward to gym class. He loves red, playing with friends and building with LEGOs. One day, he hopes to become a soccer player.
Their dreams are different, but they all share something important: a strong foundation for what’s next.
Over the years, Summer Bridge has helped more Christopher House children enter kindergarten prepared to learn and thrive. In 2024–25, 95% of participating students demonstrated readiness in social-emotional and cognitive development, 84% in math, and 49% in literacy—a 37% increase in literacy readiness from the previous year.
But kindergarten readiness is just the beginning. At Christopher House, children and families have access to support throughout their educational journey—from early childhood and elementary education to after-school programs and family support.
