What parents say about Brilla
Coraima Munoz and daughter Syncere
“I talk to the teachers every day. They text me. They call me. They let me know what’s going on. You can see the genuine love and happiness at the school. In the morning my daughter says ‘Mommy, you got to hurry up. I can’t be late.’ I just love how the kids love the school.”
Weidy Martinez and daughter Isaidy
“I was concerned because I don’t speak English, but whenever I need help, the school has always been there. The teachers have really good communication, whether it be via text message, phone call, or email. When I leave my daughter there, I feel like I’m leaving her at home.”
Doug Cortese and daughter Claire
“I like that they have the Parent Universities and that they do a lot of things that motivate the kids. When they do events, the kids get excited. They teach the characters traits. I feel parents have more opportunity to be inside the building than at other schools.”
Cristina De La Rosa andsons Aaron and Pablo
“What attracted to me to Brilla was the community, the relationship between teachers and parents. My two kids have an IEP, and the services that they provide for them are amazing. The patience the teachers have, the dedication… It’s wonderful.”
