London Bridge is an educational institution providing licensed child care and early years education to families in London, Ontario, and the surrounding Huron and Lambton Counties. Located in the downtown area on King Street, the organization serves as a network of 18 programs designed to nurture curious minds and kind hearts through a play-based approach. The organization offers a variety of services, including 15 licensed Child Centres, before and after school care for children in JK to grade 6, and summer day camps for children aged 4 to 12. Their programs are designed to be physically and emotionally safe environments where children can explore their identities and creative problem-solving. The institution also emphasizes inclusive practices, offering specific programs and services for individuals with disabilities and providing meal options that accommodate various food intolerances, life-threatening allergies, and cultural preferences. London Bridge describes itself as an organization rooted in colonialism that actively works to advance equity, celebrate diversity, and foster a culture of inclusion. They utilize a distributed leadership model where over 400 adults collaborate to implement a curriculum that responds to contemporary times. Their pedagogical approach is guided by the "How Does Learning Happen" document from Ontario’s Ministry of Education, which focuses on belonging, engagement, self-expression, and well-being. The organization also incorporates anti-bias education to acknowledge and address historical injustices and systemic harms.
