From the Office of the Principal
It’s hard to believe it’s already April because 2021 is flying by! We hope everyone has enjoyed the spring weather when it has been around. March has come and gone, but let’s take a look back at the exciting things that happened during the month. During the first week of March, we celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Sunday, March 14 marked the beginning of Daylight Savings Time. We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day on Wednesday, March 17 with class parties and activities, and we welcomed Spring on Saturday, March 20. We held our Spring Open House for all prospective families on Saturday, March 20. Please remember that when you tell other parents about our school, you will receive one FREE week of tuition for your child for every child you refer to Chesterbrook Academy. Finally, all of our older classrooms participated in an Egg Hunt on Friday, April 2, and they enjoyed findings eggs with treats inside them!
We look forward to April as well! During the week of April 12-16, we will be celebrating the Week of the Young Child! The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration hosted by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) celebrating early learning, young children, their teachers, and families. We’re so excited for a week long celebration of our youngest learners! We will have fun things for all the children to do throughout the week with a different theme every day. Please see the schedule later in the newsletter. We are so excited to announce the return of our annual Ladybug Release on Thursday, April 22! We will be releasing 5,000 ladybugs into nature. We invite our students and our staff to wear red and black on that day! Finally, on the last day of the month, Friday, April 30, Links to Learning folders go home with your month at a glance, monthly snapshot, Spanish poster (for 2-5 year olds), and samples of your child’s work.
As always, we will always be here to help you in any way possible if you have any questions or concerns.
William Gordon, Principal

Chesterbrook Academy Parent Referral Program
If there’s one thing parents love to do, it’s talk about their children’s successes.

Do you mention the personal and educational discoveries your child is making thanks to our advanced curriculum? Do you talk about the new levels of self and social confidence your child has gained thanks to our encouraging atmosphere?
