My two girls began at Chesterbrook in September and we've been so thrilled with how quickly they adapted and love their teachers. They are learning so much, and we are so happy with all the new opportunities Chesterbrook offers. The extracurricular options during school hours is such a game changer. Big kudos to Ms. Carmen, Ms. Miles, Ms. Desiree, and Ms. Debi for making them feel special and loved every day. I also want to give a shout out to all the teachers and leadership who help out on a daily basis and make my girls feel special. Especially Mr. Tim, Ms. Faith, Ms. Ella, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Patrice and Ms. Marissa who we interact with daily. I know there are others I'm missing, but to all the teachers, thank you for all that you do. It truly takes a village and special humans to work with kiddos every day, and we couldn't function without you all.

We have loved our experience at Chesterbrook so far! Our daughter has had great teachers and we love the administrative staff. My daughter calls Ms. Patrice her "Bestie," and she loves Ms. Marissa, Ms. Neveah, and Ms. Kenika. Chesterbrook does a great job creating an inclusive environment for all learners.

We love this daycare! We’ve been here for years — our oldest went to kindergarten very well prepared, and now our two sons are here too. The teachers are amazing, especially Ms. Carmen, Ms. Miles, Ms. Ella, Ms. Julien, Ms. Faith, and Mr. Tim. Our new teachers, Ms. Kanika and Ms. Navaea, are also doing a great job so far. (Sorry if I misspelled some names)
I really appreciate that all meals are included — it takes a huge load off my shoulders, and the kids get balanced meals that they actually eat!
Ms. Marisa, the principal, is fantastic — always responsive and making sure families have what they need.
My only wish would be for the playground to get a little extra care cause our kids love spending time there and I haven’t seen an update there yet, but overall, we couldn’t be happier with this school and how well they take care of our kids. Thank you!

My daughter has been at Chesterbrook for a year now and has enjoyed it so much! The building has a beautiful exterior and is clean, bright, and spacious with a lovely playground. The teachers are all warm and patient, and make it fun for the kids day in and day out. Ms. Carmen, Ms. Ella, Ms. Julian, Ms. Miles, Ms. Park, and Ms. Rasma are perfect companions for the youngest kids and make morning drop-off so easy. Ms. Neveah and Ms. Kanika have been delightful and made transitioning between the classroom age cohorts smooth. We appreciate the daily pictures and curriculum updates on the app as well. My son also had a blast at Chesterbrook’s summer camp this year. He looked to Mr. Brian and Mr. Tim as big brothers, and Ms. Kayla and Ms. Tyisha were so nice and worked to make every day a good day. We’ve also appreciated the academy updates and level of communication from Ms. Marissa and Ms. Patrice—they work hard to run a top-notch program! All around, our family has been very happy with Chesterbrook!

My child has been attending for 6 months now and he absolutely loves coming to “school”. Ms. Carmen and Ms. Miles are amazing with the kids and I love that we get picture updates of them throughout the day! Ms. Ella and Ms. Patrice as also amazing and are always very helpful! The curriculum is amazing and they also learn Spanish words each week which was a plus for us!
