Chesterbrook Academy

After having our child in schools that were little more than baby sitting centers, We have finally found a pre-school that is committed to giving our child something more than snack, story and nap time. The principal is excellent, and most teachers are well trained. The facilities are marginal, but this place deserves a walk through. I recommend highly.

Good Academic, but depending on which class and which teacher, not all are great. Admission is unacceptable, turn-over is too high, I know a lot of very good teachers left, and some due to the school budget cut, the school doesn't want to pay high salary to keep good teacher. sometimes parents' suggestions are ignored even that's most parents' concern.

My child has excelled at this school and there are just so many great things to say about it. The Principal is warm and caring, and has a real interest in each and every child. The teachers are fantastic!! They are so patient and they genuinely care about each child. It is an extremely nuturing environment which you really want for such young children. Also, a real plus is the smaller class sizes and a great deal of individual attention. See for yourself because, guaranteed, you won't see an unhappy child.

I can by far say that the Pre-k, JK and Kindergarten teachers are always walking around with a smile on their faces and having a great time with their students. They have such a great background in teaching. I would highly reccomend these grades at town and country rather then a public school. The students at that school truly love and feel a connection with these teachers that I have never experienced anywhere else. The only downfall that I would say is that I do wish that the students(one being my child) had fruit for morning snacks, which is a much healthier meal for the students rather then goldfish, cheez-its and pretzels everyday.

This school is by far the best of three we've been in so far. Sure there has been some turnover, but I don't blame the Principal. The Principal is focusing on the important aspects of a quality education, not the whims of a few very vocal parents. She realizes there are issues she can address successfully, and some she just can't tackle. I would highly recommend this school to anyone, especially someone with special needs children. I rated the Safety & Discipline low due to the parents. They drive around the small campus too fast.

Great academic programs in all classes. The students are working at least a grade level above public Schools.High turnover rates in the Pre-school & Pre K. If your child has any type of learning problem this is not the school for you. The school is going through a bit of a chaotic phase at the moment. Communication limited between parents and the principal.

Town and Country has very strong Pre K and Kindergarten program. They are hard to match in any of the public schools in the area. The teachers in these rooms are highly qualified, enthusiastic, as well as friendly and helpful.

The teachers at this school are a wonderful asset, and I only wish that the administration could open their eyes to this fact and give them a little more respect. The turn-over rate for Town and Country's teaching staff is sickening. This school has so much potential, it's a shame that things are so disorderly around there.
