Since we discovered we were going to be parents we have made decisions based on researching what…read moreintuitively feels right for our son. We are always discussing what types of experiences will support him and allow him to grow into who he is and what he is here to be. We believed that choosing a school was one of those decisions that would have a tremendous impact on his growth and development. We concluded that Maria Montessori's method of learning would support our child in reaching his full potential...in a naturally occuring process....and most importantly a process he would LOVE. From the moment you pull up to the school it is evident something wonderful is happening here. A beloved community of children and families who radiate kindness, joy and a love of learning! Exactly what we had hoped for. The bonus is a 4 year old who has surpassed any academic expectation we could have even thought to place on him who looks forward to going to school everyday!

I have put two children through the little school in Hill and Dale and love it. My son is in third…read moregrade now and my daughter is in the Pre-K program at the Hill and Dale school in Manasquan. The teachers are loving and dedicated. At the little school, the social and educational curriculum is totally age appropriate. It is the right balance between ABC's, shapes, colors and behavioral education that kids need from age 2 to 4. Plus, the whole transition from our home, to their home (Spring Lake H&D is a house), to Pre-K and Kindergarten (Trinity Church in Manasquan) is gradual move to a more institutional setting that my kids responded to well. Our Son was reading books that were 4 and 5 sentences per page before he got to the first grade. He knew what compound and contracted words were. His math was awesome with addition and subtraction in the thousands. He was a bit over prepared for 1st grade which really helped him settle in to public school. Our daughter is on track to be well prepared as well. We are doing pre-k with her and then sending her to public school for kindergarten, which has more to do with the timing of her late birthday then anything else. Mrs. Bramley and the other teachers give our shy daughter the attention she needs without going overboard. At the little school Mrs. Kirk prepared our daughter well. At the big school, Mrs. Bramley did a great job preparing our son and now our daughter. We trust these awesome teachers deeply.

Not only are their prices the best and most reasonable, but the teachers are extremely caring and good at what they do. The owner, Carrie is very caring and involved. She makes sure the kids are safe and engaged and keeps the place extremely clean. My kids are now 6 and 4 and have been going here for 4 years. They love this place and the people in it. In the summer they offer camp with various summer activities and little field trips, including swim lessons with the top rated Monmouth County school, Silton Swim. I wouldn't put them anywhere else. Best ever!!!

We have been using Brookside since my oldest child was 8 weeks old. She is now in Middle School and…read morestill goes to summer camp at Brookside. She made her 2 best friends at Brookside. 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!

Absolutely love Brookside! It's our daughter's 4th year there and I have nothing bad to say. The…read moreschool provides a nurturing environment that is a home away from home.

Expectations for the kids are lovingly high in a way that only encourages growth. My daughter is thriving and LOVES school. I would highly recommend Brookside for preschool and elementary/middle school.

DISGUSTING treatment of my 3 year old child. My daughter Cameran is newly potty trained and it was…read morecommunicated on the first day of camp that she needed extra time on the toilet. 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". Mind you it was only communicated on one single occasion at pick up that she had an accident. $5200 for the summer for two kids and I have to hear that my toddler is 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. Completely disgusting treatment of my child and an absolutely disgusting approach regarding a pre-schooler's toilet training.
