Chesterbrook has been amazing for our family. The teachers truly love the kids and the leadership are amazing at listening to the needs of the families. My child always has a wonderful day, has made so many friends and completed so many milestones at this school. The activities are so well thought out and the kids have so much fun. The teachers have truly become part of our village and I couldnt be more grateful. I highly recommend checking them out to see if they are the right fit for your family.

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 dont have to worry so much about where he is! So glad we are apart of Chesterbook!

Absolutely love this school. i could not ask for a better facility or group of people to be around my child. everyone knows my daughter (even staff who is not her teacher) and is so welcoming, everyday. She loves going to school and looks forward to it. and i love that i get updates and pictures throughout the day! Best place around !

I went to about six area preschools to pick the right one for us and we found everything we needed in Chesterbrook on Oak St. The teachers are warm, friendly, positive, and nurturing... but theyre also firm and deal with behavior issues appropriately and fairly. They have no shortage of stimulating, age-appropriate activities in every classroom and at every age, including several field trips every week during the summer. Weve been there for over a year now, and both of our girls have absolutely loved it.The facility itself is nice, too. Lots of well-organized and well-stocked classrooms, two full playgrounds, a small open field for ball games, and even an indoor big room for when its too hot or too cold to play outside. Our girls are pretty active, and they get good physical activities several times a day, in addition to the wonderful learning experiences at Chesterbrook.Their curriculum is great, too. The overall curriculum comes from Chesterbrook HQ, but teachers get to exercise their creativity and plan lessons that suit the individual needs of the students. My daughters actually come home speaking more Spanish than I do now, despite my 5 years of Spanish in school!The principal, Kristin, is very engaged and involved in her school and shes great to work with. I would highly recommend this place.

Have had my 5 and 3 year old enrolled since they were infants. Best choice I could have made for their care and education. My daughter was even able to start kindergarten a year early from public schools. She was ready to start kindergarten and is now prepared to continue on into first grade. Above and beyond the educational aspect the staff has provide a safe and nurturing atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone for their family.

My daughter has attended Chesterbrook in Research Park since she was 12 weeks old and this fall she will be starting Kindergarten there (ahead of the public school cutoff). We have had nothing but the most positive experiences at this school and will be incredibly sad to leave it next year. We chose it for the great facilities and proximity to campus, but grew to love it because of the amazing faculty and staff who have demonstrated genuine love and support for my child and our entire family. Teachers go out of their way to communicate with parents, provide information about whats happening in the classroom, and what theyre observing in your child. I have found the curriculum to be a great balance between providing ample structure and learning activities and allowing for creative expression and play. It was important to us that our daughter learn and grow, of course, but also be given the freedom to be a kid. When youre thinking about the place and the people with whom your child is going to spend the majority of his/her week, security and peace of mind are priceless. We have always had that from Chesterbrook. I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

Both of our (very different) children have gone to Chesterbrook since they were 8 weeks old, and its been fabulous for both of them. The teachers are so warm and inviting, and our kids have learned a lot. My son has already moved on to kindergarten and was reading well already. We have always felt that the facility was very safe, clean, and convenient, as well. Highly recommended!

I cannot say how pleased I am that both my children are enrolled at Chesterbrook. They continually surprise me with what they have taught my children. One day on the way home, my son starts counting flowers in a book, and the next thing I know, he is repeating the numbers in Spanish. When we first started going there, we called it daycare, but now that we have gone there long enough we know that it isnt simply daycare, but school. Price-wise, not cheap, but we found it comparable with the other large daycare centers in the area, but Chesterbrook hours are the best we found (6:30 am - 6 pm). It is clean, the teachers are great, and we adore Miss Randy, the principal.

Weve had our daughter at Chesterbrook since she was 10 weeks old (she is about to turn 2). Weve had nothing but positive experiences with Chesterbrook! The staff are friendly, genuinely care about the kids, and the facilities on Oak Street are great.

Our daughter entered CBA when she was 2.5 years old and our son entered as an infant. The staff has been amazing with their care and nurturing of our children and they are really good at gently helping mom and dad figure things out - like when to change formula or diaper sizes, etc. Our 2..5 year old has some special needs and the staff has been terrific in their flexibility to accommodate her needs and researching things to help her out. She has made tremendous gains in just the first 5 months there and I am confident that so much of that is due to her care at CBA. The environment is very stimulating. There is a lot of focus on basic skills done in such a way that the kids never realize its the work of learning It is simply all play to them!
