First and foremost, thank you so much to all of our families who participated in our Priority Registration period in March. We are so proud to have achieved the highest level of re-enrollment for the 2018-2019 school year of all of our Chesterbrook Academy schools in the local area. An unbelievable 99% of families who are currently with us are here to stay for another year of learning and play… and our whole staff is seriously pumped for it!
In addition to this excitement, 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!

Our Philadelphia Flyers are going to the playoffs for their 2017-2018 season! Show your spirit for our city’s ‘Fly Guys’ by sporting your favorite Flyers gear. No Flyers attire? That’s okay – show your spirit by sporting their team colors of black and orange!
MOTIVATION MONDAY – Dress for Your Dream Job

Week of the Young kicks off with Motivation Monday! What do you want to be when you grow up? Show us your goals by dressing in attire for your dream job!
TASTY TUESDAY – Family Snack Bar

We continue our celebration of Week of the Young Child with Tasty Tuesday, where we will offer a special Family Snack Bar during drop-off in the lobby. Our snack bar will feature special treats for parents to take for an on-the-go snack at work. Pack up and enjoy as many treats as you like on us, as a token of our appreciation for all the amazing work you do as parents to our little learners!
WORK TOGETHER WEDNESDAY – Science Curriculum Night

CBA Drexel loves teamwork, which we will highlight during Week of the Young Child with Work Together Wednesday!

Our students are always creating incredible masterpieces, and now is their chance to show off their art skills! Stop by our main lobby at pick-up to explore art work from our students, which will be on display. We may have the next Picasso on our hands!
FUN FRIDAY – Pajama Day
Friday, April 20th
What better way to wind down Week of the Young Child than with a whole lot of fun! For Fun Friday, we will wear pajamas – our favorite dress-up theme! – and enjoy a special pizza party for lunch.
EARTH DAY CELEBRATION: LADYBUG RELEASE

Our school will take part in our Nobel Learning Communities’ Earth Day tradition for the first time ever! To support our planet, our students will explore and release 3,000 ladybugs into the environment to help sustain the growth of grass and trees in our local community. More details to come!
