We started our daughter at Chesterbrook Academy shortly after she turned two. Before that, she had…read moreonly been cared for by family, so sending her to school was a huge adjustment not only for her, but for us as parents too. From the very beginning, Ms. Adrienne, Principal Ms. Kerry, and the entire staff were incredibly patient, welcoming, and understanding. They knew how anxious we were about sending our little girl to school for the first time. Anytime we sent a message or had a question, they responded quickly and reassured us. Receiving daily pictures also helped us feel connected and gave us peace of mind throughout the day. It took our daughter several months to become comfortable, but her teachers never rushed her. They worked with her patiently, showed her kindness, and helped her adjust at her own pace. Then one day, everything changed....she began loving school! Now she asks to go every day and is excited to play with her friends. If you are a parent who is nervous or anxious about sending your little one to childcare, we highly recommend Chesterbrook Academy. The staff is accommodating, caring, welcoming, and always willing to answer questions. They truly made what could have been a very difficult transition into such a positive experience for our entire family. Choosing Chesterbrook Academy has been one of the best decisions we have made for our daughter. We are so grateful for Ms. Adrienne, Ms. Kerry, and all of the wonderful teachers and staff. Our daughter will happily remain part of the Chesterbrook family until she heads off to kindergarten!

The level of detail and care they put into her and the curriculum is impressive. She goes in and comes home with a smile on her face, enriched from her day. I absolutely love the artwork they send home with her too, it's a really nice personal touch and will save forever. We are so thankful and appreciative for the opportunity for our daughter to be apart of such a wonderful place and special thanks to all her teachers, Ms. Emily, Ms. Theda, Ms. Tina and Ms. Nadia and everyone else at Chesterbrook.

There is an idea in this area that this is an excellent preschool.

Apparently 4 board members left over the summer due to the problems there.Kids are shamed and bullying is rampant. We went to summer camp here one year a few years ago and my kids only lasted two days. But I listen to my kids and I trust them when they say there's a problem. It's possible a lot of these parents heard the reputation of the school and just think their kids are being difficult, but buyer beware for this one. The other families are great. The parents are generally in it for the right reasons.

The emergent curriculum is a relief is a sea of preschools where kids are forced to do worksheets, this is truly a play-based preschool. The kids spend TONS of time outside, rain or shine, and the playground is magnificent. There is a strong focus on the children learning independence, which I really appreciate. Teachers empower children to resolve issues and challenges themselves, which has given my children great skills that make them ready for Kindergarten socially. They have a lot of agency, which grows their confidence and is a good outlet for the "I do it myselfs". Plus, there is a focus on healthy living, as the Schoolhouse only serves fresh fruits and vegetables for snack! Being snack-helper is one of my kids' favorite activities. This school is a great fit for any family that wants their kids to be kids, experience true play-based learning, and spend lots of time in nature.

Ms. Maureen was my son's teacher when he was in the three year old class. She made the class fun and rewarding. It made me wish that we had sent our daughter ( his older sister) there for the three year old program instead of just the four year old program. Our children both had Ms. Julie for the four-year old class and they LOVED her. She had a way of tapping into their artistic side and letting them explore their imaginations through play and art. They also had a religious education and a physical fitness program that was included with tuition. Both of my children are now in elementary school and are exceeding our expectations with their academic abilities. I have to credit Stepping Stones for laying the foundation for their success. It is what Kindergarten used to be. Getting children ready for school while teaching them how to get along.

Our youngest just entered kindergarten after two wonderful years in the preschool program. The curriculum is more advanced than our experience at CMS, and our kids are encouraged to challenge themselves while being fully supported. They actually enjoy going to school, which says a lot. When our son needed help with reading, he received in-school and after-school tutoring at no cost. Teachers are communicative, with weekly check-ins and extra updates. Every teacher we've had has gone above and beyond. The admin team is engaged and present at drop off and pick up daily. BCCA goes beyond academics with events that build confidence, character, and community. We're so grateful to be part of this diverse, supportive school. Highly recommend.

There are normally 2 small buses parked outside of the school. The school is broken up into a daycare that is in the main building and a trailer that houses 2 classrooms of the CMS pre-K program. I have only been inside the trailer. The trailer has a small lobby, an office or two, restroom and the 2 classrooms. They also have a gated playground area. I'm really enjoying my nieces teachers (Ms. Verdell and Ms. Dixon) and the school is very inviting. It's only September in the school year but I anticipate a good school year. There is lots of communication from the teachers and they have taken a big interest in my niece. The school doesn't have a lunchroom so the class eats inside the classroom. The classrooms are set up like normal classrooms and are very cute with all the fun things little people love (cubbies, water station, painting area, cute themed rugs, computers, etc...). Overall I'm very impressed and most importantly my niece likes it and is learning everyday. The Early Learning Center Preschool 4304 S Tryon St Charlotte, NC 28217
