About us
At Brookside, we don't wear capes, but we do believe in magic. The magic of witnessing a child say their first words, navigate a playground confidently, or finally conquer that picky-eating demon. We're a team of dedicated professionals, from speech therapists to occupational therapists and beyond, crafting personalized journeys for children of all abilities to blossom.
We're not just therapists; we're also partners. We know the journey can be messy, so we open our doors wide to families, caregivers, and educators. Collaboration is our superpower, and together, we build bridges of support, share a warm cup of understanding, and watch wonder unfold.
So, if you're looking for a place where your child's potential meets a team with open arms and a sprinkle of magic, where smiles bloom like wildflowers and every day is a new adventure – welcome to Brookside. We have crayons, hot cocoa, and most importantly, a belief in your child's incredible journey. Come in, stay a while, and let's make some magic together.
