Chesterbrook Academy preschools combine learning experiences and structured play in a fun, safe and nurturing environment - offering far more than just child care. Preschool is the first introduction to a lifetime of learning, a journey that should start off on the right foot.

Our enthusiastic preschool teachers genuinely care about children, and understand each child's individual developmental needs and learning styles. They take the time to help each child discover, in his or her own way, a fascinating world of play and learning.

At our preschools, we make children feel comfortable and confident. They want to learn and play here. Our classrooms are well-appointed with appropriate learning materials and stimulating toys.

Chesterbrook Academy encourages a highly productive partnership between teachers, principals and parents. We link parents to what their children are learning at school through monthly folders, parent bulletin boards and open parent-teacher communications.

Links to Learning is an integrated series of programs for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years that engages the young learner's senses, mind and body. The components of each program build upon each other, ensuring excellent preparation for elementary school. Our curriculum encourages each child's interest in discovery and hands-on learning, and takes advantage of a child's readiness to learn with activities that are fun, challenging and easily understood. Links to Learning is organized according to a child's age and stage of development, and incorporates the appropriate new skills and concepts for each stage of the preschool journey.

Today’s elementary and middle school students must become not only academically proficient, but also capable of applying what they learn in the classroom to real-life situations. A great private school is able to skillfully leverage traditional education and new communication technologies to create a bridge from the classroom to the real world.
