In her transition to Kindergarten, she is speding the summer with all their fun-filled activities they have planned, until August. I have to tell any parent out there, choosing between private vs. public there is no questions ask. This school is top notch for busy working parents, who want a wonderful education for their child. The school says private, but the price is not. Read less

Brookridge is absolutely amazing. Every teacher truly puts the interest of the children first. They emphasize building self esteem in all children. They do this through music and singing.
