Teachers and administrators are very creative and supportive in their work with all children. My child has greatly benefited from the large beating heart of this school. He's engaged in every class and is happy and excited to go to school. He's learned so much and the pace is thoughtful and age appropriate. Not only is he learning academically he's also made huge leaps socially and emotionally. He's grateful to get the chance to be outside and also creating with his hands every day. His experience in this community is helping him develop a rich depth of knowledge and self worth that will be something he can rely on for the rest of his life.

A beautiful school with a profound way of educating the human being in an age appropriate way!read more

The school has helped our son grow and addressed minor learning challenges competently and compassionately. We've noticed greater resilience and problem solving that we can attribute to the school's strong social-emotional curriculum. The teachers are caring and in tune with his and his classmates' needs, and the cohort model has suited him well where he strives in some areas academically but struggles in others. The cohort model allows him to extend in the areas that come easier to him, and he gets the support he needs in the areas that are more challenging. The community itself was incredibly welcoming (we joined in second-grade), and the kids are kind are welcoming too. We appreciate the pluralistic approach to Jewish education - although our family is on the more traditional side we feel welcome and included and we the same for kids from less-traditional families. Together the students are all developing strong Jewish identities and appreciation for our history and culture. And the Hebrew curriculum is set up so that both students with no Hebrew background (or Hebrew-speaking parents), and those with Hebrew fluency can all learn at their level.

They all reported that they didn't feel like they were learning much in the public school remote learning environment. Signing her up at Brightmont has been a fantastic decision. She is back to actually learning again, and she really likes her teachers. Her confidence in her ability to learn, and be successful in school has also returned. I have been very pleased with the administration. They have been kind, accommodating, and very responsive to our communications and needs. My expectations are exceeded, especailly knowing how busy they must be! The school is doing a great job with covid precautions. I feel safe when my daughter attends in person. She also has the option for working remotely online. Attending in person gives her some social interaction where before she had had none. I highly recommend this school.

She really meets 5 year olds at their level, with a rich natural science based curriculum (she is a former zookeeper so has awesome ideas on that front!), tremendous emphasis on fostering successful social relationships, and fantastic pre-writing, pre-reading ideas. At first glance, the space isn't as appealing as at some other co-ops. It is in the basement of achurch, and the parking lot and back side constitute the outdoor play space. But the room itself is cleverly divided to create a rich learning atmosphere (the little elevated library space is to die for and you always find kids sprawled out in there reading books!) and Sarah is able to work wonders with the outdoor area. Toward the end of the year, the kids LOVE her outdoor kid Olympics, complete with flags and medals. We all cried a little at the end of the year "graduation" b/c our time together was so special, and my daughter (entering 1st grade and having experienced another preschool) still remembers her Meadowbrook 5's class as her favorite year in school. For me, co-op has been a great preparation my kids schooling and also a great parenting help. It's more work than your usual preschool, but the affordable price and the rewards make it well worth the effort.

Yes, co-op is a bit more work than dropping kids off at a a traditional preschool but it is a much more rewarding experience. I have loved getting to know other families in our neighborhood and feeling part of a community. This is an awesome school filled with caring people!

Lan, the owner, is our 3 year old's favorite person. - They work through behavioral issues in a professional and timely manner, working with you to resolve, while keeping all kids safe. - The afterschool program for our 1st grader is amazing. We both work full-time and they pick her up from school, so we only have one pick up for all 3 at end of day. - For school- aged kids, they run an all day summer program, no rushing about to book 100 different camps! - The cost is the most competitive in a 20 mile radius. We look at pricing elsewhere from time to time, and SLA is always the most affordable by far, and care is still top notch! - When we drop off our kids they run in, and don't want to leave when it's pickup time. That's the best possible scenario with a daycare!
