Chesterbrook Academy Preschool

A Note from Our Principal 

As the holiday season approaches, we’re thrilled to celebrate community, diversity, and the spirit of giving. Our students will explore a variety of holiday traditions from around the world through hands-on activities, music, art, and more. We are committed to fostering a nurturing environment that honors each family’s unique traditions, and we can’t wait to share these special experiences with your children. Keep an eye out for updates via Links 2 Home! Together, let’s make this holiday season one filled with warmth, connection, and joyful memories. Thank you for trusting us to teach, care for, and celebrate alongside your children.

Sincerely,

Principal Ashley

Holiday Giving

‘Tis the season! Our annual Holiday Giving initiative is a way for students to spread cheer this holiday season while developing an appreciation for what they have, showing gratitude towards others, and seeing the positive impact of their actions. This year, we are partnering with “The Fund of Alexandria’s Child” and collecting new, unopened toys for Toys, clothing and collecting diapers for foster kids in need. Thank you in advance for your partnership and generosity.

Holiday/ Winter Celebrations 
Our students will be celebrating the holidays with fun classroom activities the week of Dec. 15th – Dec 19th. Check out more information about hour “Holiday Spirit Week”!
