It seemed as if she had no legitimate reason for kicking this girl out, and would not even let her get two words in. She even threatened to call the police on her, I saw her 10 minutes prior talking to a swimmer, she wasn't being boisterous or rude or disrespectful, she was simply just a patron of the crowd. From what I've seen tonight, I question the management's decisions in hiring a person as such to deal with the public. -a concerned parent

In addition to an amazing, caring staff, we found that both the day care and summer camp offer a huge amount for the money. We have referred many friends and family members there. I can't recommend it enough. I love that my girls got to play, horse back ride, swim and many other activities during the summer. My youngest daughter was born with a heart defect and they were great. The communication was always amazing. My daughter had a rough day and was inconsolable. When I got to daycare to pick her up I found my 1 year old in the office on the shoulder of the director as he was softly singing to her. He had no idea I was watching and she was fast asleep. You can't buy that level of care!

Every child is treated like an individual and supported in the unique way that child needs. The staff is kind, friendly, collaborative encouraging and super easy to work with.

I would highly recommend Brookside for preschool and elementary/middle school.

They attention and care they provide is second to none! As with most camps, they hurt many teens which is also great for them to learn but there's also plenty of adults to ensure all goes well! I always look forward to working there because it's such a great day! I highly recommend them and guarantee you'll be equally impressed! If I had young children, I wouldn't hesitate to enroll them!! Anyone who says different more than likely is the type that doesn't accept responsibility for their actions and inactions!! I could ramble on forever but hopefully you get the idea! Don't blame the camp counselors for your own issues! It's like blaming a teacher for a kid that doesn't so their homework and study!

I am completely delighted with the education and socialization that she receives during her camp experiences. She's made wonderful, lasting friendships with the other campers and really looks forward to every day. In a small camp like this, the staff makes or breaks it. This staff is unbelievable- in addition to being great leaders, truly show them kindness and love. There's great staff longevity too. We see the same smiling faces year after year. There are plenty of activities to keep the kids engaged all day long. The drop-off and pick-up is seamless. The facility itself is clean, organized and adorable. The kids get plenty of opportunities to play and move in the fresh air with plenty of shaded structure and indoor room when the weather dictates. The biggest indication for me that it's a great place is my daughter's unwillingness to leave at the end of the day. She begs daily to be in Aftercare!!  Please don't hesitate to check out Summer Hill Camp. I can't recommend it highly enough.

The director Missy called me with the school nurse on speaker advising me that my daughter had been having accidents and that she was a "health hazard".

I explained again on the phone that she needs extra time on the potty and was told they were not able to accommodate that and refused to accommodate her. This is a THREE YEAR OLD CHILD.

His entire staff is impeccably trained - everyone always has a smile and warm/welcoming words (and it's not fake, it's the culture there). Not only are the facilities great (GAGA pits, 2 pools, high ropes course, giant zip line, archery, arts & crafts, drama, etc etc and fields for: baseball, soccer, flag football and lacrosse...the kids even get to play dodge ball) but the staff is simply amazing - incredibly supportive and patient, always there to help and encourage. Campers not only learn how to win but more importantly they learn how to lose and have sportsmanship. The camp has an underlying philosophy based around helping each child become their superstar self - excelling at something. They also teach how to be social with their peers, how to be a good citizen, how to take responsibility...basically how to be a good person in all aspects of their lives.

It is also an excellent place to prepare your child for Kindergarten so they won't go in overwhelmed and scared. At home we can provide structure and learning tools but it just isn't the same as a true school environment. My son gets excited to see his teachers & his friends. He looks forward to gardening, dance parties and art projects. His overall growth has also jumped leaps and bounds from when he first started last year. So much so we extended his hours from half to full day! We also LOVE that the classes are small & the teachers build a close relationship w/ every child. Touring other schools was quite scary seeing kids screaming and overwhelmed staff. I can assure you Peppermint Tree is not and never will be that way! You also have a built in Summer Camp w/ 2 pools to accommodate all age groups. Did I mention swimming lessons, class trips, gardening, ice cream days, etc? All those things are either part of class or an option to add on. So if you are on the fence about where or if you are going to enroll your child, Peppermint Tree is definitely the Best Choice!

This was their time to eat and sleep! Their naptime was 2 hours. So, if you want your 4.5 year old toddler to go to summer camp and nap for 2 hours this is your place. There were no other activities as promised on the schedule we were emailed to before camp began. The schedule showed that they were going to do arts, science and so many fun things. When I asked if he was doing any of these things I was told by his teachers that most of these were happening during his pool time. Really? Isn't the establishment's responsibility to ensure that all groups get to do these "fun things?" Why should a 4.5 yr old eat and sleep from 12 pm - 3 pm. There is plenty of time for his "teachers" to read books, engage them in fun/educational activities while they're inside. So really, all that money we paid for was only for 2 hours (run around in the playground and use the pool). Our child didn't learn anything, there were no educational activities as the written schedule showed, and we basically paid for 5 hours, 3 out of which were eat and sleep! I don't recommend this place whether it is for summer camp or as a daycare. Unless you want to use it as a babysitting place, sure, then it's fine. Just don't expect your child to learn here...

We are sooo thrilled that we were recommended to check out this school for our preschoolers. We started our oldest here at 25 months old and they completely changed her life (and ours). In just the first year, she went from speaking 1 word, to reciting the entire alphabet, counting 1-13 out loud, reading words on signs (and wherever we go), also counting by 10's, AND she can name every shape. This all happened in a few short months after nearly being a silent child. Our daughter was once scared to leave our sides and now she also shows an incredible amount of confidence in herself. She also completes simple tasks such as putting on her socks, shoes, jackets, gloves and hats. I love that this school is a traditional and Montesorri hybrid, it's the perfect school. Most importantly, the owner of the school Holly is just the SWEETEST person. The teachers are INCREDIBLY kind, caring and warm. They are always willing to help, be flexible, and everything is communicated flawlessly. I know that this was not an easy task with Covid, yet they managed Covid perfectly and kept us all happy and healthy! Also, emails and texts are super clear and Holly does a fantastic job keeping us all updated with fun events and anything we need to know. She truly cares about safety, and also the happiness of each child and family. Can't say enough great things! So happy!
