April is the month of Week of the Young Child, an annual celebration of growth and development for preschool-aged children everywhere. For our staff, Week of the Young Child is a time to plan how we as educators can better meet the needs of your children to ensure that they look back fondly on their early childhood years. Not to brag, but I do believe that the students at this school – your children – are absolutely phenomenal. I see so much potential in each and every one of them to reach incredible success in whatever field they chose, and I am thrilled knowing that Chesterbrook Academy gets to be an early chapter in the story of their lives. I can only hope they remember us when they someday change the world!

Here’s a quick look at the many things to come this month:
- SILLY SOCK DAY – Thursday, April 6th – Everyone needs a day to be silly! Show off your craziest, wackiest, mismatched socks to your friends and teachers. We want to see bright colors, bold shapes, and cool patterns. Which class will have the silliest socks of all?
- PRE-K & KINDERGARTEN SPRING FIELD TRIP – Wednesday, April 12th – Our Pre-K and Kindergarten classes will venture out to explore amazing animals at the Philadelphia Zoo! The students will meet with zoo experts who will talk to them about how these special creatures live in the wild. More details and a permission slip to come.
- EASTER EGG HUNT – Thursday, April 13th – Everyone’s getting excited for the arrival of the Easter Bunny! Rumor has it he will be leaving some of his treat-filled eggs all around the school. The children will search for the eggs in the classroom and in the park, counting and identifying the colors as they go. Do you think we can find them all?
- KINDERGARTEN SPRING BREAK – Week of April 17th – Our Kindergarten students will give their growing minds a break and enjoy a week off from their academic program. The Kindergarten program will resume on Monday, April 24th. Please note that Spring Break care will be available for all Kindergarten students during normal business hours.
- EARTH DAY FESTIVAL – Friday, April 21st – We certainly love our planet, and now it’s time to show off just how much! The children will learn about the many ways that they can contribute to a healthy environment. Our classes will come together in Washington Square Park to take part in our annual ladybug release. Don’t forget to wear lots of green as a promise to always treat our Earth with love and respect!
- WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD – Week of April 24th – It’s a big week at Chesterbrook Academy, as we celebrate Week of the Young Child! The goal of this special week is to raise public awareness of early childhood needs, and spotlight the growth and development of young children everywhere. All of our students will help us to celebrate with a different child-centered theme each day. Stay tuned for a full schedule of events and additional information.
