A Note From Our Principal
Summer has come to an end and another school year is upon us. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new families, and a sincere thank you to returning families and those that chose to spend their summer with us. We enjoyed making memories with your children and are looking forward to spending the fall season together. Please review the reminders below carefully so we can make the most of our time together over the next few months. As always, our administrative team is here to answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Maggie Brace
Big Announcement – 8/21/2020
Dear Parents,
I wanted to make you aware of a few changes that will be occurring in our Administration over the next few weeks at our school. Firstly, I have accepted the position of Area Principal of our Chesterbrook Academy schools in Philadelphia. I will be overseeing the principals and schools of the Drexel, Centre Square, Walnut Street locations, as well as the opening of our newest school in Fairmount in 2021. I will still be involved in many of the day to day operations of the Drexel school, as well as visiting our other locations.
I am also extremely excited to announce that my amazing Assistant Principal, Maggie Brace, has been promoted to Principal at our school. She will be joined by Natalia Turner, an Assistant Principal, who will be transferring from another Chesterbrook location. Amaya Montalvo will continue to assist Maggie and Natalia as Office Assistant. Natalia will be sending out an introduction to our families with her background and child care experience. She is very eager to get to know all of our children and their families. Please feel free to introduce yourself to her when she starts on Monday, 8/24. I know that I am leaving you all with the best administrative team, and am very happy that I will still see all of the Drexel children and parents on a regular basis.
A sincere thank you to all of you who supported us through our NAEYC Accreditation process, struggles of COVID19, and overall partnership in the education and care of your child’s preschool, Chesterbrook Academy at Drexel. Your kindness, sincerity and continuous support was greatly appreciated during my 2 years at Drexel as principal.
Please feel free to reach out should you have any questions or concerns during our transition and in the future at stacy.edwards@chesterbrookacademy.com. I wish you all health, peace and happiness always.
Warm regards,
Stacy Edwards
