At Chesterbrook Academy Preschool of Shorewood, we combine play and learning for children ages 6 weeks through Pre-K in our vibrant and fun child care classrooms. We're far more than a daycare. Our NAEYC-accredited preschool follows our Links to Learning curriculum, which includes important academic, social, and emotional skills to prepare children for kindergarten and life. Our child care teachers are enthusiastic about developing lifelong learners in the Country Glen, Brighton Lakes, Lakewood Prairie, and Wessex communities and beyond. If you've ever asked yourself, "What's the best daycare near me?" You've come to the right place. Contact us today to see why. We are conveniently located at the intersection of Black & River Rds.
Chesterbrook and the staff and teachers have all exceeded our expectations. We started with our oldest (now in Kindergarten) there last year. He loved going and was so excited. There was some nervousness at first, but the teachers were patient, kind, and worked with him and us to acclimate him. Half a year later, his sister was so excited to go that we enrolled her earlier than we expected. She has loved it and gets excited each and every day. Both of them learned so much through the school, and whenever we had questions or concerns, we were listened to and solutions were quickly achieved. Our (now) kindergartener is so far ahead of the class scholastically that he does "bonus" work at school and at home with us. The learning progress that takes place is amazing and they always come home with new things they learned at school that they are excited to talk about and share.
We are so happy with them, that even before our third child is born, we have made plans to have them go to Chesterbrook once they are old enough (for our comfort).

We absolutely love Chesterbrook Academy of Shorewood! The teachers are so nurturing, patient, and genuinely care about each child’s growth and happiness. Our daughter has blossomed here—she’s more confident, social, and excited to learn every day. The curriculum balances play and education perfectly, and the staff communicates so well with parents. We also love the activities (soccer and dance) that are brought to the school as extra curricular activities!! The environment is clean, safe, and full of creativity. We feel so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for her early learning journey. Highly recommend to any family looking for a preschool that feels like home!

I kept my son at home with me for his first 15 months of life. I then got a new job and had to look into daycares. While I was absolutely terrified to let my son go to daycare; once I got to Chesterbrook, I knew that was the one for my son. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and I got a great genuine vibe that they would take care of my son in a way that would make me feel secure and comfortable with leaving him there everyday. His teachers - Ms. Savannah and Ms. Heather are the absolute best. They do so well with keeping my son clean and I can tell how he smiles at them at drop off's that they make him feel safe and loved which is so important to me. I appreciate the daily pictures that confirm that he is enjoying his time at school and I can tell he is learning so much by the new things he says to me daily. Good job to the principal Mrs. Heather for providing such a well run school!

We love** Chesterbrook!! The curriculum is great, the building is refreshing & fun, but it all comes down to the teachers that makes it a special place. Every teacher knows all the students, whether they have them in class or not. They are so caring & nurturing. We never worry about our children's safety and always know they are well taken care of each and every day. Mr. Joe (the cook) provides a healthy, balanced meal for lunch and the snacks are always talked about! We are so proud to be a CA family!

My husband and I are glad we found Chesterbrook Academy in Shorewood while looking for daycares for our daughter. We looked at a few and decided on here for a few reasons.
- the staff are passionate about their positions and that mattered to us.
- the location is ideal for where we live
- the price is very reasonable (and if youre a teacher, there is a discount!)
Our daughter has been there for a few months and we can see how much of an impact it is having on her, especially with social interactions with other kids her age. We love being a Chesterbook Academy family!
