Our Leadership & Staff Home / About Us / Our Leadership & Staff Meet Our Dedicated Team A Message from Our Principal Stacy Borwick, Principal Welcome to Chesterbrook Academy of Wheaton! At Chesterbrook Academy, our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and exceptionally encouraging learning environment where children grow exponentially—academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to fostering a genuine love of learning through a balanced curriculum, meaningful relationships, and highly individualized support. We recognize that true academic excellence is deeply intertwined with social-emotional agility. Our value proposition lies in our ability to cultivate the critical thinking, cognitive skills, and personal confidence that parents desire for their children. We do not simply teach; we inspire curiosity and instill the independence, empathy, and resilience necessary for students to thrive in their next educational settings and beyond. The Classroom Experience & Links to Learning Curriculum Our classrooms are engaging, hands-on, and meticulously designed to stimulate creativity, independence, and social growth. Through a seamless blend of structured learning and hands-on discovery, our teachers create meaningful experiences that support each child’s unique developmental needs. Central to our academic distinction is our proprietary Links to Learning curriculum. This literacy-based framework utilizes an immersive “Book/s of the Week” methodology to make concepts vividly come alive across multiple educational domains such as language & literacy, mathematical thinking, science & social studies, wellness & social-emotional learning. Skills are built sequentially as children learn and show signs of readiness. By continuously assessing and adapting to each child’s unique developmental timeline, our educators ensure that students are consistently challenged yet fully supported, turning every milestone into a confident step forward. Our Dedicated Faculty & Professional Growth The caliber of our school rests upon our caring, dedicated, and passionate educators. Our faculty members build deep, meaningful relationships with each student, ensuring that every child feels safe and comfortable enough to truly be themselves. We benefit from strong faculty stability, including tenured educators and long-serving support staff who have been vital pillars of our community. To maintain the highest standard of early childhood education, our teachers engage in rigorous, ongoing professional development. Throughout the year, we host dedicated training days and monthly faculty meetings focused on: Advanced curriculum development and innovative instructional strategies. Collaboration and sharing of best practices across classrooms. Comprehensive safety protocols to ensure a pristine and secure environment. A Vibrant, Connected Community Our school is defined by its strong sense of community and the genuine partnerships we form with our families. From your very first interaction, we seek to understand your child’s unique history, strengths, and your distinct goals for their future. We maintain transparent, daily communication and host cherished campus traditions that bring our families together. Whether it is our annual Multicultural Celebration—where faculty and families share their diverse heritages and global customs—our seasonal family socials, or our beautiful, milestone graduation ceremonies, we celebrate the journey of childhood together. Uncompromising Safety & Security Safety and security are the foundational priorities at Chesterbrook Academy. Our leadership team is strategically positioned at the main entrance throughout the day to actively monitor access, while our comprehensive security infrastructure ensures a highly protected campus. This includes secure, controlled entry points, strict photo ID verification, and mandatory pickup authorization forms for every student. Furthermore, our classrooms are linked directly to administration via instant walkie-talkie protocols, and our faculty participates in rigorous monthly safety reviews—including our proactive “Face-to-Name” attendance verification procedure—to maintain a watchful, secure environment at all times.
