  The teachers in this school have far surpassed any expectations I could have ever had. We continue to be amazed at all they do and seeing how our son grows each day. Every day we pick him up he tells us about the wonderful day he has had. Every class transition is so difficult for him because he bonds so closely with each teacher, which shows how much they love on him. The curriculum is incredible and the extra activities are fun to participate in. The teacher retention here is truly wonderful to see and becomes something you can count on.

  We made the really tough decision to leave this school after 3½ years. Our daughter grew up here, and the teachers are truly the best part. They love the kids, work incredibly hard, and do so much with so little. They were absolutely the hardest thing to leave behind. Unfortunately, the management side has gone downhill. The school is owned by a private equity group, and it shows. Tuition goes up every year, but the amazing teachers aren’t seeing that reflected in their pay, and are ultimately leaving for better opportunities. Classrooms were repeatedly stretched past state ratios, and the teachers were left trying to hold everything together without enough support. We also had ongoing concerns about safety and outdated systems that corporate didn’t seem willing to fix. After a lot of thought, we decided we couldn’t keep our kids in an environment where the focus seemed to be on profits over people. We’ll always be grateful for the teachers who cared so much for our child. They deserve better support and leadership than what corporate is giving them.

  We absolutely loved Chesterbrook - the care and intentionality of the teachers and staff shines through in all interactions. Marlo leads a great team and even a year later after we left the school (due to a house move relocating us), the teachers have recognized my son by name when we see them around Raleigh. I was particularly impressed with the academic prowess of Ms. Jenny, who had my son writing his name at hardly 3 years old! Aymee, Jessica, Covia, Cecilia, Kesha, Kenyah, Alka and more - SO many wonderful teachers. The waiting list is long but worth it - and you will be so happy to watch your little one grow here.

  This school has felt like home for us. We started our 4 month old at Milbrooke Chesterbrook and he's now 2. All the teachers (regardless of the classroom or age) know our son and interact with him daily. I like how they integrate the students throughout the school, so that when it comes time to transition to an older class, he is already familiar with his teachers and most of the other kids. We truly get a feeling that he is loved by the staff, and that the staff are treated well and are happy at the facility. That is super important to us. Thank you Chesterbrook! -Liz
