Powered by GoogleOur family absolutely loves Brookside. Both of my children have gone here—my son previously and now my daughter—and I can honestly say it has been the best school experience we’ve had. We tried a few other schools before finding Brookside, and nothing else even compares. Brookside truly goes above and beyond for their students. They offer so many enriching activities and create so many opportunities for parents to be involved, from plays and parades to special events that let you really see your child grow and shine. It has such a warm, family-like, homey feel, which makes such a difference when you’re trusting someone with your kids. Their summer camp is also incredible. My kids attended for the first time last year and absolutely loved it—we will 100% be sending them back again. It was fun, engaging, and well organized, and they came home happy every day. We are so grateful for Brookside and the care, love, and attention they give to our children. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Brookside created an amazing education for our son the past 3 years. It was always a pleasant experience in a safe and kind environment. It gave us what we needed for our son, with hours that fit our busy work schedule. I highly recommend the pre K and pre K 5 programs. Being a local elementary school teacher, I know what kindergarten is now and our son is beyond ready thanks to Ms Olson and Ms Bernadette. Amazing office staff and Miss Jackie rocks! Thank you for taking such good care of our little guy. We will continue to recommend Brookside to anyone who asks.
We love Brookside! Our daughter started daycare at 4 months old and it’s been nothing but a fantastic experience since. The staff / teachers are wonderful and take great care of our girl. Highly recommend!
Brookside is a very special place, with caring and thoughtful teachers and staff. After 2 years, I have so much to be grateful for when it comes to their teaching techniques and the amount of learning opportunities they provide their students, inside and out of the classroom. Only send your child to summer camp if you want them to wake up asking if they can go to summer camp every day of the year. So fun and the best activities. 5 stars isn't really enough for Brookside.
Not that they need my review 😉 but…. Brookside is the best! Their focus on enrichment and the outdoors, along with fantastic staff and curriculum, makes Brookside the top daycare and preschool in the area. My daughter is 3 1/2 and has been at Brookside for almost 2yrs now and loves every moment she is there. We plan on our daughter staying all the way until kindergarten. My son, now 6, attended their summer camp last summer and had the time of his life. Between their regular school year program and their summer program, Brookside is who I recommend to everyone.
