Chesterbrook Academy Preschool

Since so many others have mentioned her name I will do the same. Melissa C. is the principal at this school and almost every parent and teacher I have come in contact with is very unhappy with her managment. The teachers reach out to parents regarding her, they are VERY unhappy and this ultimately rubbs off on the children. It seems like the principal sets the tone at this school and the aggravation trickles right down to the children. Apparently there have been numerous complaints, Im not sure why thier corporate managers have not taken any action. Bottom line, DO NOT enroll your child here until a new principal is hired. more

The principal Melissa C is in the wrong industry. Its a shame she manages teachers and children. She is rude and abrasive. She does not show sympathy toward children or staff. The staff seems very unhappy and over stressed. In my dauughters two years there we have seen 15 teachers quit! Over half the staff has quit due to the principal Melissa. Children are underfed and underminded. Take your child and run!! more

My first impression of this place was not too good- I mean the toddler 2-3 yrs classroom appeared a little crowded and the room appeared smaller for the no. of kids around, but over a period of time, my impression has changed. The good part to begin with , the 3 yrs old classroom stays impeccably clean and the infants room is great too . The caretakers and teachers are very friendly . The best part is that the hygiene is very clean. They are open 6.30 AM to 6.30 PM so the hours are great. The only downside is that the toys in the toddlers area are a little run down - the principal explains that they go through toys really fast - I believe her. The playground for the older kids is great. They have plenty of activities for the day to keep the liitle ones busy - more structured for the older kids ,a little less for the younger ones, but still constructive I feel , so it is great! For the most part , I have never seen kids crying or runny noses whenever I am there -and the kids seem to have fun, so I guess it is a fun place for them! more
