  My daughter has been enrolled since she was 2. It was important to me that she be in a school that had a curriculum that focused on ways of teaching without rigorous curriculum. I Love Chesterbrook. She is learning Spanish knows her numbers letters , practicing handwriting, able to venture out and try new things like soccer shots and mini sports. The school has transitioned from the amazing principle Sarah to Ms Julia, who is phenomenal with communication and community building amongst the Chesterbrook community. We are now in Pre-k and she is at the age where she is eager to go to school and be in class. The way they teach and introduce things and make sure to go over through the same subject or book throughout the week really seems to keep my daughter engaged and excited. I love the location we are at because the building has security which is important to me. I truly cant thank the staff enough for caring for my baby for 2 years,

  We have been generally very happy with sending our child to Chesterbrook since he was a baby. The teachers have all been great and we have appreciated that the school provides meals, snacks, has good hours, and offers enrichment activities like music, gymnastics, and sports classes. There have been some issues periodically due to turnover but we feel confident that our child is happy and safe there.

  We love it here! As first-time parents, sending our daughter to daycare felt like such a daunting experience. But from the very beginning, we couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful teachers who made the transition smooth for her and for us. She has amazing teachers since the day she started, but the continuity of care under Ms. Kadijah, with whom she feels so comfortable, has been such a relief to see. We also want to give a heartfelt shoutout to Ms. Ashanti, Liz, Taylor, and Mr. T for their patience, care, and support. Overall, our Chesterbrook experience has been such a blessing. We love that the children have a huge playspace, plenty of outdoor time, balanced meals (breakfast and lunch), and so many enriching activities like music class. Knowing our daughter has been nurtured and supported here gives us such peace of mind. Thank you for having such a big and important impact on her growths. We are truly grateful. Looking forward to great year ahead.

  We have had a wonderful experience at Chesterbrook Academy over the past two years. My daughter has thrived under the loving care of Ms. Dijah, Ms. Shay, Ms. Taylor, and Ms. Alexus. I also love that every teacher in the school and all the administrators know my child. We appreciate the level of professionalism in communication, focus on community building among families, well rounded curriculum, clean and safe environment (including classrooms, a huge indoor play space, and outdoor playground), hot meals prepared on site (breakfast, lunch, and snack), and great ancillary programs including music and gymnastics. We had zero turnover in our daughter's teachers for both years that she's attended, which is rare in early childhood care settings. Looking forward to another great year!

  I am giving 5 starts for the teachers that my children are around on an every day basis. Mr Ethan and Ms Charli are rockstars- My daughter was in kindergarten and camp there and both teachers provided a fun learning environment. My daughter raves about both teachers every day and is excited to be around them. She has learned to read, play chess, math, state’s & capitals! Ms Stefany in Pre K, as well as Ms Ana and Ms Magie are phenomenal! Ms Stefany has taught my daughter twice. She is kind, sweet, her classrooms are full of the kids crafts. These teachers are five star stars! I do have some concerns about the Administration changes that have taken place over the past year. The environment has changed since the principal Sarah was promoted. I feel confident with Sarah in the building and taking a more leadership role that things will change… If you were looking to go to the daycare, I would ask for some parents contact information to get a recommendation/ feel for their experience as every classroom Has different teachers. from a pre K and K standpoint the teachers are AMAZING!
