Icannot say enough positive things about our family's experience with Chesterbrook Academy over the past seven years. Both of our boys began in the infant program at just 12 weeks old, and as new parents, there was tremendous comfort in knowing they were cared for with genuine affection and attention every day. The frequent updates and photos provided invaluable reassurance during those early months away from our children.
What sets Chesterbrook Academy apart is its exceptional combination of diversity, educational excellence, and experienced staff. We were incredibly fortunate to have teachers such as Mrs. Dreega in the toddler program and Mrs. Latha and Mrs. Donna in Pre-K. Their impact on our children's development cannot be overstated.
When our family relocated out of state, our son was required to complete admissions testing for several private schools. Thanks to the strong academic foundation and preparation he received from Mrs. Latha and Mrs. Donna, he was exceptionally well-prepared. Mrs. Latha is a gifted educator who recognizes each child's potential and challenges them to achieve more than they thought possible. Mrs. Donna brings remarkable creativity while also providing the structure, discipline, and rigor necessary to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. Together, they make an outstanding team.
The leadership at Chesterbrook Academy has also been exceptional. Mrs. Aimee and Mrs. Jenn are visible, approachable, and deeply invested in the success of both the students and their families. They listen thoughtfully, adapt when needed, and consistently meet families where they are.
For parents seeking a safe, nurturing, and diverse environment where children build strong foundations in literacy, writing, mathematics, and social development, Chesterbrook Academy is an outstanding choice. Our children have been prepared academically, supported emotionally, and encouraged to grow with confidence.
Thank you, Chesterbrook Academy, for seven unforgettable years. We will always be grateful for the role you played in our family's journey.
They do a great job building a community in the school with events and a friendly staff. My son has been going here since he was about 2.5 years old. The teachers are passionate and kind. And the other students and parents have been supportive of us and our son. He has made a lot of friends and learned a lot in his time here so far!
My son (now 4.5) has been coming to Chesterbrook since he was 2.5. We have been very happy with our experience at this school. He has really loving and caring teachers and all the staff know who he is and are always happy to see him when he is coming and going. They also have early hours which work well for our unpredictable work schedules.

My son has attended Chesterbrook Academy since he was 9 months old and is now 4 years old. Reflecting on our experience during that time, I truly cannot say enough positive things about the school. The quality, structure, and academic rigor of the program truly stand out. It is clear that the curriculum is intentionally designed to build strong foundational skills and genuinely prepare students for kindergarten readiness, not only socially, but academically as well.
With over 15 years of experience across multiple levels of education including classroom teaching, school-based and district-level leadership, higher education, teacher preparation, and work at the federal level, I have developed a very discerning eye for what effective education looks like. Chesterbrook has exceeded my expectations. The staff are professional, attentive, and clearly invested in each child’s individual growth and development. Communication with families is consistent, transparent, and thoughtful, and the learning environment strikes an impressive balance between nurturing support and intellectual challenge.
It is reassuring to see a program that maintains high standards while still fostering warmth and care. I feel confident that students leaving this school are not only prepared for kindergarten, but are curious, capable learners equipped with the foundational skills needed for long-term academic success. I highly recommend this academy to any family seeking a strong and well-rounded early education experience.
