 I am writing to express my wholehearted support for North Bridge Programming and to attest to the outstanding character and dedication of Lauren as an educator and program leader. As someone who has witnessed both the philosophy and practice of this unique homeschool enrichment program, I can confidently say that North Bridge is more than just a learning space — it is a thriving community built on warmth, inclusivity, and a genuine love for education.

Lauren brings an exceptional level of care, thoughtfulness, and integrity to her work with children and families. Her approach to education is deeply student-centered, responsive, and rooted in respect for each child’s individuality. Whether working through an academic concept or nurturing social-emotional development, she models patience, creativity, and an unwavering belief in each learner’s potential.

What truly sets North Bridge apart is its commitment to creating a learning environment where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired. The programming is thoughtfully designed to enrich the homeschool experience — not by replicating traditional schooling, but by expanding it. Through hands-on learning, collaboration, and imaginative exploration, students engage deeply with content while also developing confidence and curiosity.

As a parent, what I appreciate most about North Bridge is the culture of trust and connection that permeates everything. It is rare to find a program that is both academically enriching and emotionally nurturing, and Lauren has built exactly that. Her leadership reflects not just professionalism, but a heartfelt investment in the well-being and growth of every family involved.

In a time when many are seeking alternatives to one-size-fits-all education, North Bridge offers a model that honors diversity, cultivates belonging, and nurtures a lifelong love of learning. I am proud to support Lauren and this program in any way I can.

 As a parent, choosing the right learning environment for your child is deeply personal – and discovering North Bridge Microschool has been an incredible gift to our family.

From the beginning, it was clear that this was more than just an academic program. North Bridge is a vibrant, intentional community where children are genuinely seen, heard, and inspired. Under Lauren’s thoughtful leadership, the school offers a rare balance of intellectual challenge and emotional support. She brings compassion, clarity, and a deep respect for every learner’s individuality. 

My child has grown not just in knowledge, but in confidence, curiosity, and joy. The hands-on, student-centered approach encourages exploration while building real-world skills and strong social connections.

North Bridge is everything I hoped for in an alternative to traditional schooling – and so much more. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to any family looking for a nurturing, enriching, and truly inspiring educational experience. 

In elementary school, Lauren played an integral role in the referral, identification, and service of my daughter's SLD in both reading and math. Through her compassion, empathy, and educational experience, Lauren was able to create a welcoming learning environment for my daughter in which she saw immediate progress and growth not only in her reading and math abilities, but also in her confidence and advocacy. Today, 8 years later, my daughter no longer qualifies for special education services, and I truly believe part of it is because she was put on an early path to success through Lauren's educational strategies and services. 

Lauren was an exceptional special education teacher for our son and daughter at a public school in Colorado. Her enthusiasm, professionalism, and calm demeanor made a significant different in their education. Both of our children were on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and Lauren dedicated herself to ensuring that their IEP goals were met, excelling in both academic and social/emotional areas. Her teacheing appraoch was unique andtailored specifically to our children's needs, mnaking their experiences in the classroom truly engaging. They often came home excited, sharing stories about the wonderful days they had with her. 

Moreover, Lauren went beyond her role as a teacher; she was a calue resource for us as parents. She provdied insights and strategies that helped us tackle daily challenges with out children. Even though Lauren is no longer their teacher, she contineus to reach out, genuinely inquiring about their well-being and offering her support whenever needed. Her lasting impact on our family is a testament to her dedication and caring nature.
