Parent Reviews
My son has been going to CBA for over a year and it has been such a great experience! We were using a nanny previously and were a little nervous to start preschool, but Toni Shepherd in admissions was so amazing. She answered all our questions (which we had a lot) and was so accommodating when scheduling the tour. On our first day, Toni also went out of her way to make sure she was there when we arrived for a seamless transition. Since then Toni and all the staff have been amazing and my son looks forward to preschool each day. He is treated so well, has a lot of fun and has learned a ton since starting. We love all his teachers and appreciate the low turnover rate. We strongly recommend CBA on Ward Ave for anyone looking for a great preschool!
My husband and I toured Chesterbrook as we are potentially moving to the area from Chicago. We expect a high standard of care, and it is clear that Chesterbrook would be able to provide excellent care for our 15m old daughter. The staff and teachers that we met were very friendly and professional, and I appreciated how bright and cheerful the school felt. I felt comfortable right away and I know my daughter would be well cared for! Toni (Director of Admissions) listened to and answered all of our questions and I appreciate the collaborative approach between the teachers, staff and parents to provide what is best for the child. If we do move to the area, I would have no hesitation in sending our daughter to Chesterbrook!
