The Brookside School offers learning opportunities for all of its students.
All students participate in music and art programs, hands-on learning opportunities with our own farm animals, physical play, social interaction and a structured age appropriate curriculum beginning at the age of three.
Programs are also available for Infants, One, and Two Year Olds.
We conduct educational field trips and students participate in our annual holiday and spring shows held at one of the local high schools.
The Brookside School offers a complete summer day camp program with three pools, athletic fields, off site trips, art, and music programs.
The safety, welfare and happiness of each child is always placed first.
We offer an environment of warmth and affection where a child gains a sense of belonging.
