Description: Chesterbrook Academy preschools, elementary and middle schools build the solid academic foundation students need for future success. In our schools, classes are led by dedicated, caring teachers who value open communication with parents.
Using our Links to Learning curriculum, our preschools offer the perfect balance of learning and play, combining structured learning experiences with play activities designed for each developmental stage. We link parents to their child's classroom experiences by providing a monthly summary of their child's work and suggestions to continue the learning at home.
Our elementary and middle schools provide a challenging and robust curriculum, innovative instruction, and a vibrant school community. Our students are academically successful and capable of transferring their knowledge and skills to new challenges.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
