I wholeheartedly recommend Chester brook Academy. I also couldn't be happier with the growth and care the children received here. I've seen the curriculum and attention provided at every level of the center, and I've been impressed every step of the way. The kids literally run into the center each day, excited to see their teachers and friends. The staff also does an amazing job preparing the children for Kindergarten. I truly see the staff as an extension of the family. I am so thankful to know them all.

I have spent a good deal of time in the room because I nurse in the morning with drop-off and stop by at lunch. From what I have witnessed, the staff there are truly loving in their interactions with the babies, and really know each baby as an individual. Sometimes all the babies are crying, but the caregivers are calm and compassionate, and go about their rounds of feeding, changing, rocking, playing. The staff have also been very accommodating of special requests, for instance, my son will only fall sleep in a swing or in someone's arms. More than once, I came in to find him asleep in the arms of one of the caregivers. While being in the room, I've had the chance to interact and talk with many of the staff who also rotate through the other rooms. I find them all to be friendly and knowledgeable, and loving towards the children. Probably like most places, they send you pictures during the day, and a daily report of every nap, change, and feed. Westtown Children's Academy was recommended by a faculty from WCU's education program, and some WCU education students work or rotate through the rooms. This is my first day care experience, and I am very satisfied with it. I can't speak for the other programs beyond the infant room, but I have colleagues who enroll their children in the toddler program and they seem happy about it.

He has learned so much and developed excellent manners and social skills from the teachers. They focus on learning, fun, and a structured environment for the kids. The teachers are patient and encouraging. He has progressed through the center and has had three different teachers to date. Each one was excellent. He had some speech development issues and the center was very accommodating and helped support his improvement. They also supported the speech therapists schedules by allowing him to receive private sessions at the center. This is a wonderful daycare center! The only reason we are leaving in the fall is because he starts preschool this year.

My child has been going to this daycare since December of 2023 when she was roughly about 9 months…read more Back then, Ms. Marisol & Ms. Lorraine were GREAT! A short time after her first birthday I realized my child had developmental regression & sought out help through early intervention services who worked with her in daycare at this facility twice a week. She lacked in communication & also had some sensory issues which early intervention helped TREMENDOUSLY! Up until maybe a few months ago she started having some behavioral issues which her OT & ST were aware of & worked with the school tirelessly to come up with ways to help them HELP HER in the classroom but were blantantly ignored. Instead they chose to record my child which by the way is now only TWO, in instances where she may have been having a meltdown , not able to make her needs known or simply was having sensory issues that others couldn't understand & didn't try to. One of the ladies who works the front desk Christina referred me to another service which is like an IEP who can be present with my child everyday at school to help with her behaviors when her OT & ST aren't there. KEEP IN MIND, these services are not typically offered to 2 yrs old bc they normally work with kids 3 & up. They also would be able to give my child an officially autism diagnosis on eval. Well, yesterday 5/22/25 was my child's ST day & I read every note she writes when her sessions are done from 10am-11am. According to her my child had a great day! Spoke with her teachers about her behaviors throughout the week & was told she has been doing better with keeping her shoes on & instances of "scratching others." However, when I picked her up @ 4:30 I was told by Christina at the front desk that my child had two altercations with another child & "scratched them on the eye lid then scratched them on the side of the eye & in a nut shell tmrw is just going to have to be her last day." No prior meeting with me or even her ST/OT to discuss her behavior to say hey if it continues in a week or so I would need to start looking for other centers to send her to. Nothing in writing for me to sign her dismissal/termination. Just flat out she has to go. I've been getting the feeling they didn't want my child there & instead of doing it PROPERLY they did it EXTREMELY DISTASTEFUL & unprofessional. They also have high turnovers with staff & even have some employees who simply should NOT be working around small children! Ms. Chrissy was my child's main teacher this year & also the only teacher who seemed to understand my child's needs & also listened & learned her better by working with her ST & OT to implement their goals for my child in the classroom. I am also an LPN & work 7a-7p 3 days a week so I have to take my child to daycare by 6:30am those mornings. Usually Ms. Taryn & one other child is there that early but on a few occasions she was not & it was just Jon who is also married to Christina there watching that child. Again, my child can only say a few words & I NEVER felt comfortable leaving a little girl around a grown man unattended! I don't care if it's only for 5-10 mins while Ms. Taryn runs late or whatever the case may be it should NOT be allowed for everyone's safety! Marianne who also works the front desk is very rude & nasty! I hate to say it but it definitely feels as though race plays a big part in this daycare as there aren't many African American kids there. My experience in the beginning was great but over the last year has been terrible. I am a working mother of 2 & now have to seek alternative childcare because they literally just threw my child out with no warning. I am in the process of seeking legal action against them! Parents please don't let the "family owned & operated" slogan fool you. PLEASE be mindful when sending your little ones to these careless, money hungry people !!

They will constantly send your kids home even though it's the entire class that's acting up. My son has full time aid's with him, & the aids witness the horrors in the classroom everyday. Celia has no backbone in the 3's classroom, she doesn't have any control over her class and as a result you won't be able to work because they will call you to get your kid because they can't handle it. Stephanie up in the front is amazing and I have nothing bad to say about her, but she went on maternity leave recently and as soon as she went on maternity leave, the owner Nihti started targeting my son. I spoke with Nihti in the office which is when she told me kids are a number on a clipboard there. She is completely and totally only in this business for the money. And it shows. Her BEST staff Miss Ashley recently left around the same time Stephanie went on maternity leave. Because of their lack of GOOD staff, they will kick your kids out of their school. They've been open for a year and Nihti told me she's had to let go of multiple families. Tell me you don't care about the kids without telling me you don't care about the kids. They've also don't care about their staff at all. Stay FAR FAR away from this place. They also don't teach the kids ANYTHING. The classrooms are zoo's.

Every teacher is committed to providing exceptional care, protection, and education to their students. The administration is deeply invested in ensuring the welfare of both children and staff. Their curriculum and planning for each age group is great, and helps students at every age learn valuable, practical skills as well as introducing education fundamentals. Throughout my time here, I had many opportunities to leverage my skills and discover new creative outlets within my lessons. They value and appreciate their staff, making sure they are being supported throughout their day. I would highly recommend Celebree School of Exton as a great school to entrust your child's care and education, as well as a wonderful workplace for educators/childcare workers.

***DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE**** I don't post things like…read morethis lightly, but I feel a responsibility to share our experience in case it helps another child or family. Chesterbrook Academy - Newtown Square has been the worst childcare experience of my 13 years as a mom. In our experience, the environment was cold, harsh, and deeply unsettling. When children are sad or crying, they are placed in a so-called "cuddle corner" and intentionally ignored--no one is allowed to speak to or comfort them until they stop crying. Teachers follow a strict "no response" approach, meaning kids who are screaming, throwing, or clearly distressed are simply ignored. The level of rudeness, judgment, and lack of warmth from staff has honestly left me bewildered. My child came home crying many days, saying the teachers yelled at them--and I personally witnessed teachers yelling at children right in front of me. Leaving your child in someone else's care is already incredibly hard. You expect compassion, patience, and basic emotional safety. That was not our experience here. I can't speak to other Chesterbrook locations, but Chesterbrook Academy in Newtown Square is one I would strongly urge parents to avoid. If sharing this helps even one child have a safer, more loving experience elsewhere, it's worth it

They even had Santa in a room so children could tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. I am a retired teacher and have taught every grade in my career (preschool through 8th) and I see the learning that was evident here. The children are happy and enjoy coming to school. The playground and garden are very impressive. The garden has so many vegetables coming up and the kids help with the garden, which I think is wonderful! I went to the preschool graduation a few weeks ago and I was amazed it was on a Saturday so many parents could attend (and all the teachers came in on their day off). It was a beautiful and well thought-out ceremony. It is evident that Miss Gina, Mr. Rob, and all the teachers are caring, loving, educators. Thank you Holland Country!
