Our girls have attended Brookside school since 2011 for both daycare and the preschool camp and have loved every minute of it!

The students as well as the families at Brookside School are in very good hands the minute that they enter the building.

I'd rather be tired everyday than know my children aren't getting the education they deserve. So, for me it is worth it to work extra hours and send them here.

No matter the price, I would choose The Brookside School over any other place for my kids. After being there for four years I can honestly say that it is worth it to have the peace of mind that your children are in a safe, educational environment. The positive influence makes it worth it.

Brookside is an amazing school. I am very satisfied with what my two children have learned so far from this unique school environment.

My brother and I went to Brookside Day Camp. We had fun riding the ponies, bowling, tie-dyeing shirts, playing stickball at SeaGirt, and going on the Super Waterslide. We had Carnival Day, a DJ dance party, and at the Raingutter Regatta my boat won a round. We went on a hike to Allaire State Park, had a summer Easter egg hunt, and a pizza party on the last day of camp. We went swimming everyday and lots of other fun things. It was the best summer ever!

This was not what we signed up for. Overall an awful awful place. I had heard from other reviews posted online that there were many problems with this place but I was SHOCKED! Most of the staff could care less, only a few care about the kids and the ones the do care are slowly but surely leaving. Turnover seems to be huge there and that says a lot. I would not recommend, especially considering all the better alternatives!

Brookside is a wonderful school. We have two children who attend full-time and we are very pleased with what they have learned as well as their comfort level at the school. There are many special events, class trips and after-school sports that make it a unique school environment. The facilities and campus grounds also lend to a "change of scenery" for the kids so it's not the same playground everyday. I gave 4 stars (vs. 5) simply because there is opportunity for increased communication with parents, not from the teachers, but from management. I've experienced better orientation programs, clearer directions on where to go/what to bring to either camp or school, fund raiser info, important dates, etc. It would be nice to have more information on these things in advance, and without having to ask.

Both of my children have attended Brookside from infancy and now into grade school. They absolutely love it! We are very pleased with the academic program and especially the dedication and willingness of the staff and teachers to find creative learning solutions. The small class sizes provides enhanced learning opportunites and the ability to recognize the learning style of each child to ensure they are motivated and learning. The children are outside daily (weather permitting) and have Phys Ed daily something which has been cutback in many public schools. I would highly recommend Brookside whether it's day care, camp or grade school.

We love it. Brookside's caring staff has been very supportive over the last 5 years. Taking trips and the bus (field trips), singing on stage (Christmas and Spring Shows), all the parties (seasonal celebrations), all the cool playgrounds, and gym class are just a few of my son's favorite things at Brookside. We love that he has started to read and can do math and he is only in Pre-K. Can't wait for Summer Camp and Kindergarten.

Both of my children go to The Brookside School. My youngest child has attended Brookside since he was 4 months old. I was able to commute and go to work with comfort knowing he was safe at Brookside. I know he was and is truly cared for at Brookside. My older daughter has attended since Kindergarten and loves the school as well. The school has a real family atmosphere with individual attention on all of its students. There are farm animals, great playgrounds, grass and trees, a swimming pool (for the camp months), class trips, and invaluable extended care hours early in the morning until the evening. The level of education is also rigorous with a great community of creative teachers and caregivers. The school is also competitive with regards to tuition.

My family has been a part of the Brookside family for many years. My children began their journey at Brookside as preschoolers and continued their way through kindergarten. They have enjoyed every summer in the camp program as well. We have had an amazing academic experience. The creativity and dedication the teachers have shown has both challenged and prepared our kids with the tools to be socially and academically successful. The summer camp has been full of fun and excitement and has challenged them and entertained them each year. The staff and directors make each child feel welcome, independent and loved. Our experience has been priceless!!! We thank each and every person at Brookside for all they have done for our children. We highly recommend the Brookside School for children of all ages!!

Both my son and daughter attended the Brookside School from infancy through Kindergarten, and also attend their summer day camp every year. My daughter is still enrolled there. It has truly been a wonderful experience for both them and myself. The staff at Brookside are wonderful. They have always provided a caring, nurturing environment that my children thrived in. My son was fully prepared for 1st grade and is doing excellent in public school socially and academically. As a working mom I felt at ease leaving my children there knowing that they were in such good hands. I definitely recommend the Brookside School for anyone looking for a one of a kind daycare/preschool experience.

All students participate in music and art programs, hands-on learning opportunities with our own farm animals, physical play, social interaction and a structured age appropriate curriculum beginning at the age of three. We conduct educational field trips and students participate in our annual holiday and spring shows held at one of the local high schools. Infants, Toddlers & 2-Year-Olds A caring staff, music, art and play highlight the programs for our youngest students. Children are encouraged to explore their environment and interact with each other as they learn about themselves and the world around them. Outdoor play areas designed with safety and fun in mind and visits with our animals complement the indoor classroom areas. Children are encouraged through our structured program to develop fine and gross motor skill, vocabulary, social skills and independence. 3- & 4-Year-Old Programs Our curriculum for 3- & 4-year-olds is designed to make learning fun with a mix of play, music, art and the introduction of new concepts, including colors, shapes, letters and numbers. Students are presented with challenges which develop their fine and gross motor skills and problem-solving skills. Children learn from each other and develop self-confidence through "show & tell" and "entertainment day" when they recite a poem or sing a song for the other classes in the school. Personal and social skills are also addressed, including manners, basic hygiene, interaction with peers and responsibility. There are computers located in each of these rooms which are used as reinforcement of concepts introduced by the teacher. Kindergarten - 8th Grade The elementary curriculum is designed to help each student excel to their full potential. Our academic curriculum includes a strong phonics-based reading program, practical approach mathematics, English, science, social studies, computers, music and Spanish. In addition, students participate in daily physical education classes. Field trips may include a visit to a planetarium, library, museum, theatre, post office, dentist office, local beaches or other businesses. Many students take select classes at higher grade levels depending on that individual's ability. Terra Nova testing is administered annually to help evaluate student progress as well as our own curriculum. Computers on our school-wide network are used in many aspects of teaching both in the classroom and in our computer lab. Carefree Summer Fun We offer a wide variety of supervised activities all designed to make the camp experience a happy one. The outdoor and indoor facilities have been designed to stimulate physical and mental growth in an atmosphere of love and security. Campers are divided into groups according to similar age, interests and abilities and are supervised by creative and dedicated teachers and camp counselors.
