A Message from Our Principal

Sara Tomblin, Principal

Welcome to Chesterbrook Academy—a place for early learning where families and children grow together in a nurturing, safe, and joyful environment. At our school, we believe that education is a collaborative partnership. Our mission is to walk alongside your family, providing a supportive village where children feel deeply valued, secure, and inspired to explore the world around them. From your very first visit, our goal is to understand your family’s unique needs and support you in choosing the path that allows your child to truly thrive.

A Legacy of Institutional Tenure
What truly distinguishes our school is the exceptional commitment and longevity of our faculty. We are proud to be a community defined by remarkable teacher tenure, featuring educators who have dedicated five, ten, and even up to 35 years of service to our families. This deep institutional experience creates a consistent, high-quality academic environment. Because we are incredibly selective when welcoming new educators to our team, we look for professionals who possess an innate ability to speak to children on their level and who share our long-term commitment to early childhood excellence.

An Environment Immersed in Nature
Our campus is designed to balance robust academic preparation with physical well-being. Tucked away in a peaceful, wooded setting, our building features large classroom windows that flood our learning spaces with beautiful, natural light. We are uniquely situated adjacent to a local park with pristine walking trails, allowing us to extend our learning environment outdoors into nature, especially during our vibrant summer camp programming.

Engaging Classrooms and Active Discovery
At Chesterbrook Academy, children learn through exciting, deeply engaging experiences. Our dedicated teachers excel at bringing literature to life, transforming books into hands-on, multi-sensory activities that captivate young minds. Our skill-based curriculum is designed to be highly intentional yet user-friendly, ensuring that both educators and parents understand the clear, age-appropriate milestones students master before advancing. We also capitalize on daily, authentic interactions to naturally weave social-emotional development into the fabric of every day. This core foundation is further enhanced by specialized enrichment opportunities brought right to our campus, including soccer, dance, and our campus-wide Stretch & Grow program.

Exceptional Kindergarten Readiness
The true measure of our program lives in the confidence and capability of our graduates. Year after year, our alumni families return to share that elementary school educators are thoroughly impressed by the advanced academic readiness and social fluency of Chesterbrook graduates. Our students enter kindergarten more than prepared—they enter as confident, well-rounded learners who are ready to lead.

Our Uncompromising Commitment to Safety
Safety and trust are the absolute pillars of our community. To ensure a secure environment for your child, every faculty member undergoes rigorous background checks before joining our school. Furthermore, our team continuously sharpens their emergency readiness through frequent, specialized training, including CPR, First Aid, and Medication Administration Training (MAT). With strict adherence to playground safety guidelines and diligent “Face-to-Name” attendance protocols, we prioritize your child’s security so that their entire focus can remain on the joy of growth and discovery.

We invite you to experience the Chesterbrook Academy distinction firsthand. Please join us for a personal tour of our unique campus, meet our dedicated faculty, and discover how our supportive village can partner with your family for a lifetime of successful learning. We look forward to welcoming you into our community!
