Brook... |
"The curriculum and
educational program at Herring Brook is fantastic! Each day was
planned and executed to reach these little, growing minds.Your
accreditation speaks volumes to your successful program. Keep up
the outstanding work! The teachers and Director of Herring Brook
are all nurturing, fun, sensitive to individual needs and very
professional each day. My child has enjoyed each and every one of
you. As individuals you know how to foster the love of learning for
these children, and as a group you work collaboratively to run an
exceptional program. My child has always LOVED coming to Herring
Brook.There has not been one day she has not wanted to come to
school.
She feels safe, comfortable, loved, valued, and nurtured in this
setting you have all worked so hard to create for kids and
adults. This experience at preschool for the past 2 years,
has been such a positive one for my child and us. There is such a
delicate balance that needs to be found when dealing with young
children and parents…You all have found that balance and created an
introductory school setting that is exemplary. I applaud you and
your staff for your never-ending dedication to making learning fun
and celebrating the successes and differences in each of these
little lives you have so positively impacted over these past years.
You are AWESOME, and it’s very hard to leave you!" |

"The unbelievable friendliness and acceptance of
each child is what made my decision to enroll my child at Herring
Brook so easy. The day-to-day warm and loving treatment of children
was SO obvious when I first observed Herring Brook- and each day
since, it has been equally consistent! Just as each child is unique
- so are the teachers. They excel in friendliness and
professionalism!
The staff works harmoniously together and they create an extremely
nurturing environment. Learning, positive attitudes,
problem-solving and curiosity have been instilled in each child as
a part of the curriculum. The children know what is expected of
them, while their individual spirits are encouraged to grow. In
addition to the guidance of the SUPER teachers, my preschooler has
also benefited greatly from the added enrichment of the visiting
teachers: Big Ryan’s storytelling, the Music lessons, Early Start
Art Class, Health & Hygiene, etc... Herring Brook has a
wonderful on-going curriculum that seems to thoroughly prepare them
for kindergarten. I can’t thank you enough for the experience my
child had at Herring Brook. I wish all her academic years could be
this GREAT!" |

"I am so glad I decided
to send my daughter to Herring Brook. When I discussed with friends
(who also have kids in preschool) and I told them of all the
activities and field trips, they couldn't believe it. I feel my
daughter is very well taken care of. I got to know all the teachers
by chaperoning some of the summer camp field trips. I think they're
all SUPER & CARING! She loves to go there. She enjoys the arts
& crafts, the hot lunch days, the terrific playground, the
special guests who visit the school, etc... The locked door and
security system also made me feel comfortable right away. And
thanks for the newsletter; letting us know what they are learning
in school.
That's all a parent can ask for-- that their child is looked after,
loved, stimulated and protected. What could you possibly
improve on? I believe you have positively covered all
bases!!!" |

growing! A+++ THANK YOU!!!" |

"My child has LOVED being a student at Herring
Brook. My daughter has grown, made wonderful friends, had a ton of
fun, remained safe and is happy and satisfied when she comes
home.
She’s developed socially, academically, and physically to an
impressive degree, and I know that the careful, thorough
educational program, combined with the nurturing love provided by
Herring Brook staff is largely responsible.
The curriculum is impressive; with a wonderful
ability to balance fun with learning. I’m continually amazed
at the complexity of concepts that the children are exposed
to (and enthusiastically absorb). I’m delighted especially by
the science and social studies! The teachers at Herring Brook
have been GREAT for my child!! The staff has a terrific
balance between nurturing and structuring and I appreciate
deeply the teachers’ sincere concern and sensitivity toward
my child as well as any of my concerns or needs. The Director
is also fabulous in the classroom. I am very satisfied with
her experience at Herring Brook and we will greatly miss this
fun and safe haven." |

"I am thoroughly pleased with my daughter’s
preschool experience - and the same 100% + satisfied with her care
and learning!
Choosing Herring Brook was the best decision I could have
made! The curriculum is diverse and
“intellectually stimulating” for preschoolers. It’s great to see
them learn about such a variety of topics -- especially those they
will revisit in elementary school (lifecycles, Van Gogh, dinosaurs,
Chapter Books!) The staff and Director are wonderfully POSITIVE,
CHEERFUL & respectful of each student’s personality &
needs! Thank you sincerely! As a working parent, I also appreciate
the hours and flexibility of schedule Herring Brook offers. Thank
you all for your wonderful school, your dedication and your
enthusiasm!" |

"We have been thrilled with our Herring Brook experience and the
children have also been thrilled to come to school.
I really feel confident in the academic side of
Herring Brook. The lessons they bring home they really take to
heart and try to learn. My daughter has come so far and I think my
son will excel in kindergarten. I continue to be impressed with all
the teachers at Herring Brook. You offer feedback without having to
ask and really care about our children. They feel so comfortable
and happy to be at school." |

"Herring Brook School and all the teachers are
wonderful! We feel so lucky to have been a part of this preschool.
I am happy our experience was so good and hope the same holds true
for public school.
Herring Brook has provided her with a solid educational start that
cannot be compared to any other school. I
wish you all the best and know Herring Brook will be the Harvard of
preschool. I should say it IS the Harvard of
preschools!" |
