My kids thrived at Mcgarity. They encourage family engagement often, teachers communicate with parents weekly and are always willing to answer questions and support my daughters’ learning. My children have always felt safe and welcomed there. The PTA is highly involved which I love seeing. They are STEM certified as well!

The principal and staff here are in desperate need of professional skills in dealing with the parents and issues that arise. Mr. Wilder has a history of parent interactions that has led to unhappy experiences. He was very short tempered with me when I asked him to help with my special needs daughter getting access to scissors and cutting her hair repeatedly. The office staff is very rude and the teachers that I have worked with are very unenthusiastic about their job.

I would to not only go against the first review but totally disagree with every word on it. My child has been going there for 8 years now and I have no complaints! Every teacher there not only has a teacher certification/ degree but also helps my child with special needs and meets my expectations with him more than I could imagine. There has always been help with my son and one on one help at all times with the small classroom sizes and caring teachers. I not only know the owner well, but have a lasting bond with other teachers there. The owner has even helped me financially and would give me the shirt off her back with no hesitation. My child entered middle school this year and I noticed there are new teachers. I was nervous at first, however these new teachers have completely changed the atmosphere and gone above and beyond for my child and the other children in the classrooms. My child feels completely safe and comfortable to talk about their feelings to teachers or the owner without a doubt in his mind that they will not be private or confidential. I absolutely love Brighton and my child hopes to become a teacher there one day!
