    My husband and I enrolled our daughter at Chesterbrook when she was just 3 months old. As first time parents, we were nervous about the transition and choosing the right place. It’s not an easy thing to entrust your child to the care of others, but Chesterbrook made it easy. The teachers are so talented and caring. It’s a well organized place that feels like a big family. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

    My children have been going to Chesterbrook for a few months now and I cannot say enough good things about this amazing program. My kids absolutely love it there and I can clearly see how well-loved they are by all of their teachers. Their teachers know their personalities so well and have taken such dedicated time to get to know them, even as part-time kids in the class. As we are aging up into the next class, I have found myself so grateful for the amazing teachers they have had and the incredible new teachers who I have recently met in their new class. I love that many of the teachers here have been with the school for years and have a lot of experience. The administration here is super involved. I love their willingness to jump in to cover for teachers when needed and how well they know all of the kids at the school. It's really incredible and makes me feel better knowing my children are well loved and cared for while I am at work! Another bonus is that we get updates / cute pictures through the school app and it's so fun seeing what my babies do all day. Thank you so much, Chesterbrook! This family absolutely loves your school <3

    My child, who will be attending kindergarten, joined this school’s summer camp. The school provided activities to help prepare for kindergarten, as well as a wonderful variety of field trips and exciting activities. Thanks to this, my child had a truly enjoyable and enriching summer break. I would also like to express my gratitude to the always kind and caring teachers.

    Our daughter entered CBA when she was 2.5 years old and our son entered as an infant. The staff has been amazing with their care and nurturing of our children and they are really good at gently helping mom and dad figure things out - like when to change formula or diaper sizes, etc. Our 2..5 year old has some special needs and the staff has been terrific in their flexibility to accommodate her needs and researching things to help her out. She has made tremendous gains in just the first 5 months there and I am confident that so much of that is due to her care at CBA. The environment is very stimulating. There is a lot of focus on basic skills done in such a way that the kids never realize it's the "work of learning" It is simply all play to them!
