WHY SHOULD I SEND MY KIDS?
TO SHADOWBROOK WEEKDAY SCHOOL
POSITIVE & FUN LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
We have three boys all have attended Shadowbrook weekday school, our youngest is currently in the three-year-old class. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience Shadowbrook. The most important thing to me is that the teachers put their hearts into what they’re doing and just love the kids. It is such a positive and fun learning environment. Our boys have loved it and learned so much. The school and the entire staff of been a true blessing to our family!
- Angela Veugeler
TEACHERS
LOVE GOD FIRST
I love Shadowbrook because the school is full of women who love God first, and my children as their own. We don’t view them as teachers, rather family. When you walk into the school, you can feel the love they have for the kids and the passion they have to teach your children about God and his love.
- Jill Balmes
HOME AWAY
FROM HOME
We absolutely LOVE it at Shadowbrook! All three of our boys have attended here since they were one year old, my oldest is now 10 and our youngest is currently in the 2 year old class. You can’t find another environment this amazing. It has become a home away from home for them. What means the most to us is the love the teachers and staff show for our kids and the passion they have for teaching God's love for them. They truly pour their heart and soul into developing our little ones with such care and kindness. We are so thankful we have gotten to be a part of the Shadowbrook family for the last nine years. We never want to leave!
- Jen & Brian Knutson
