    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.

    The process to start my daughter was so smooth. The same person that toured us also checked in on her when she arrived her 1st day. They seem to have a very wide knowledge on caring for children and ensuring they have a good day. My 2 year old is so happy!

    We have been taking our son here for a couple months now and I believe it was the best thing we could do for him! He has been learning so much and is growing up right before our eyes! The school is very secure and clean, the teachers are amazing and they keep you updated with photos throughout the day of your child. I feel like he really gets the one on one learning with the teachers as well. It is nice to take him somewhere where I don't have to worry so much about where he is! So glad we are apart of Chesterbook!
