My child attended both years of preschool with Brainbridge. The teachers are caring, patient, wise and full of compassion. They are also extremely hard working. Their collective motivation is to give these children a good solid foundation to start their life. My daughter has learned respect, courtesy, manners, sharing and caring as well as reading, math and a second language. I highly recommend this school as an academic and fine arts school for children.Read more

My eldest son went to this preschool for 2 years, and we loved it so much, we were thrilled to enroll his younger sister as well. Even with a change in teachers (one retired), we have found consistent warmth and care given. My son has gone on to excel in French immersion, and my daughter sings songs to herself as well as with her brother every day. The teachers are gentle, caring, and clearly love their work. I cannot speak highly enough of them or of our experience with this school.Read more
