For Brookside Elementary families

A short drive from Brookside, built for the sibling still at home

Brookside is a Christina School District school serving kindergarten through 6th grade, in the Brookside neighborhood off Marrows Road. It’s a few minutes further from downtown Newark than some of the other district schools, which is exactly the kind of drive our families make every day.

We’re open 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, for children 12 weeks through pre-K. Lessons come from the Brightwheel Experience Curriculum with a new nature theme each week, and the kids go outside daily when weather allows.

Our address, 292 W Main St, Newark, DE 19711, is about a 3.4-mile drive from Brookside, mostly along DE-273 and Marrows Road. Five classrooms, a license cap of 80 kids, Delaware OCCL ratios.
