A Note from Our Principal
Happy New Year! We can’t wait to spend 2019 with you and your children. I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season with your family and loved ones! I would like to thank all of you for your generosity over the holidays. The teachers, administrative team, and I truly appreciate all the gifts we received.
Thank you to all who participated in our holiday giving initiative last month. We partnered with our sister school on Media Line Road and the Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County. Through your generosity, we were able to donate over 200 items to families in need! It certainly has been a season of giving!
The winter season is certainly upon us! The children will continue to go outside throughout the winter season. Please be sure to dress your child accordingly – hat and mittens are needed every day! Snow is not a deterrent for going outside. Please bring snow pants or suits, and boots (labeled with your child’s name) when appropriate. Also, please be sure that your child has extra clothes available for the winter weather (this is a great time to check sizes, too).
Our entire Chesterbrook Academy Staff wish all of our families a happy and healthy new year!!!! As always, it is an honor to work with and watch your children grow. Thank you for choosing our school for your children.
Sincerely,
Lisa Delaney
Illness Policy
Our families are vital partners in helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. Children may not attend school until they have been symptom free for 24 hours if they display any of the following:
- Fever of 100 degrees of more—must be fever free for 24 hours with no fever-reducing medicine before returning to school
- Vomiting, diarrhea or stomach upset
- Heavy nasal discharge requiring wiping every 3 to 5 minutes
- Persistent, non-productive or barking cough
- Sore throat
- Skin rash, including diaper rash
- Head lice
- Symptoms of a communicable disease
- Fussy, cranky behavior unlike child’s normal demeanor that may indicate illness
For more information please see our Parent Handbook or reach out to a member of our administrative team.
Coffee Hour
Please join us in the lobby on January 11th from 7am-9am for coffee and breakfast treats. Our entire administrative team will be available to answer any questions you may have about the upcoming months. This is also a great opportunity to get to know other parents. Hope to see you there!
Links 2 Learning Monthly Folders
Each month our teachers prepare folders that outline what your child has learned in the prior month. These folders have work samples in them and explain the skills that your child is working to master. We send these home at the end of each month and ask that they be returned a few days later. Please let us know if you have any questions about the monthly folders or about your child’s progress!
Parent Referrals
Do you have friends who are moving to the area, having a child or are unhappy with their child’s current preschool? We are always happy to meet other parents like you and offer a $100 tuition credit for parent referrals. Please see the front office for details.

Topics: Language & Literacy
As children begin the toddler stage, they respond to familiar words by shouting, gesturing or reaching for objects.
