Dear Chesterbrook Families:
With just a few more weeks left of our 2016-2017 school year, we are keeping busy right up to the start of summer camp! Please see our school calendar and stay tuned to upcoming announcements regarding what’s in store this month and throughout the summer!
We are looking forward to our annual End of Year Spring Concert and Art Show on Friday, June 2nd at 5:00pm. The children have been working diligently on their performaces, as well as their class art pieces throughout the year. We are also getting ready to celebrate our Kindergarten Graduates on Thursday, June 8th as they continue their educational journey into elementary school. And Dads – please join us on Friday, June 16th during drop-off time for Donuts with Dad.
With warmer days upon us, we will be spending more time outdoors. Please be sure to dress your child accordingly. It is also a good idea to check your child’s cubby to make sure their extra change of clothing is weather appropriate, and if any replenishments are needed. For safety reasons, children must wear closed-toe shoes. You are welcome to send in water shoes for your child to wear during water play activities. In addition, we are asking that parents to send in sunscreen with a signed form for us to apply as needed. Parents are requested to apply the first sunscreen application prior to arrival. The teachers will then reapply later in the day as needed. Please provide a labeled water bottle for your child to keep here throughout the week to help stay hydrated throughout the day. And, with news of a bad tick season, we would like to recommend you do a daily tick check when are at home with your child.
Please check your child’s mailbox/folder for important information and forms being sent home. Recently, families continuing with us through the summer should have received the 2017-2018 Parent Handbook along with additional 2017-2018 tuition forms as applicable. As a reminder, the new tuition rates will go into effect on Monday, June 12th, so please adjust your payments accordingly. We encourage you to take a few minutes to look over the information, complete the forms, and return them to the front desk. Be sure to review page 3 of the Parent Handbook for important updates. (Note: The new academic year will begin on Tuesday, September 5th and our next teacher in-service day will be Election Day, Tuesday, November 7th, 2017.)
As a reminder, please return the Summer Camp forms so that we may plan our summer and staffing accordingly. Summer Activity Fees can be paid on-going and are due by Friday, June 9th, along with any outstanding Registration Fees. Summer Camp Calendars and Camp T-shirts will be distributed by Friday, June 9th for families who have returned forms. (Summer Camp Calendars are also available on the front lobby table.)
St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital recently called to thank us and our families for the generous contributions and support received. With the monies raised during our Trike-A-Thon, we helped to completely cover the costs for several children, which was a tremendous help to the children and their families. Many thanks to all!
I would like to update you on several staffing changes. First, I would like to formally welcome Ms. Lisa and Ms. Felicia to our Chesterbrook Academy family. Lisa joins our Infant-Toddler Team and Ms. Felicia has joined our Toddler-Young Beginner Team. Please join me in welcoming both of these ladies to our school! We are also actively pursuing new teachers to join our Chesterbrook Family to support the tremendous growth of our school, so stay tuned for new additions joining our teaching teams.
Thank you to all of our families for their continued support of what we do, and for allowing us the opportunity to do what we love – educating and nurturing your children! Have a wonderful summer!
Congratulations to all of our Kindergarten Graduates and Happy Father’s Day to all of our wonderful dads!

Although biting among toddlers is a common developmental behavior, it can be upsetting for both adults and children. Toddlers may bite out of anger, frustration or a need for control and attention. Instead of being able to say, “I am sad,” or “I wanted that toy,” they bite as a[.....]
