We were nervous leaving our daycare of 4 years, but having dedicated teachers instead of staff with a high turnover has made a huge difference. They've taken the time to work 1:1 with him on several things we've been concerned about, and the growth we've seen has been incredible. The school also hosts great community events, and everyone has been so warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Ms. Raj and Ms. Fedder are the best! Our daughter is very shy and cautious but her teachers have…read moremade the transition to Chesterbrook seamless (she started at the youngest age in the Intermediates). They both show up everyday smiling, caring and eager to interact with all the kids. Outside of the immediate teachers, the entire school has created such a positive change in our daughter's life - each day includes a special course and all 5 of those teachers offer something interactive and engaging (STEM, Art, Music, PE and Spanish). The faculty is very organized, efficient and friendly. Everyone works as a team to get the kids in and out of school safely. The atmosphere at Chesterbrook is really that of a family unit. We've been so happy with our choice to enroll here :)

Once you're in, parents are welcome to purchase a wholesome hot lunch to enjoy alongside your child. I recommend checking the calendar online to look for good menu items.

Enrolling our toddler son (at 20 months) at IPR has been the best thing we have ever done for him…read more He goes half-days in the Kenya (2s) classroom. IPR is a highly structured curriculum, that truly prepares your child for kindergarten. The 2s students color, paint, do art projects, play outside, celebrate holidays around the world, and learn letters and numbers, daily. We are so impressed with how much my son has learned in just a few months already. We love that the students wear uniforms daily. His teachers have many years of experience teaching 2-5 year olds, and they give my son individualized attention. I could not be happier with the education my son is receiving at IPR!

Sent my kid to this school based on the recommendation of a friend. We lasted one year. I found…read morethis school to be much more interested in my kid meeting milestones than actually learning or enjoying themselves while they learn. My kid did not like it and didn't want to go every day and they were actually doing well. Teachers told me they put some kids in time out every day. Time out for a 2 yo is harmful. I also found it sad how many kids cried the entire first week of school and then again when they returned after winter break. It was hard to see.

He has been there for four years and is now in the transition class. He begs to go every day and we have loved every single teacher there! It is a church preschool but it is not fire and brimstone as my daughter's was. They sent home a find the objects worksheet when she was 4 that had her find the bloody nails in Jesus' hands, the crown of thorns, and the faces in the fire. Really? at 4? Soapstone has always been age appropriate and teaches with love and compassion! You will not regret checking out this amazing place for your child!
