We made it! The end of the school year has arrived, and there is so much to celebrate in all of our programs! We’ve seen our Infants and Toddlers go from crawling to running and from using baby sign to having vocabularies of close to 100 words. The Beginners have learned to count up to 20 and to recognize all of their colors and shapes. Our intelligent Intermediates have conducted all kinds of experiments to learn about the world around them, and I loved hearing about their findings week after week. We’re starting to see lots of new books in Room 10, all because our Pre-K students are starting to read on their own! And we can’t forget Kindergarten – the role models of our school, who are ready to move on from Chesterbrook Academy and conquer the exciting world of elementary school.
I can’t express in words how proud I am to be a part of this school and, more importantly, a part of your children’s lives. It is an extremely rewarding experience to see them learn and grow into very unique and special young people. As we splash into Summer Camp, I just want to give another very big thank you to you – the families – for all of your support of Chesterbrook Academy. I look forward to many wonderful things to come in the 2016-2017 school year, which will be here before you know it!
