What Makes Chesterbrook Different

Montessori Accredited, Experienced Teachers and Assistants

Our fully accredited teachers bring expertise, consistency, and a low turnover rate — ensuring stability and long-term relationships with children and families.

We remain deeply dedicated to AMI Montessori’s core values—mixed‑age classrooms, child-led learning, a prepared environment—to nurture independence, curiosity, and joy in learning.

Daily Music Integration

Music is woven into our work period every day—transition moments, group gatherings, and movement times include rhythm, singing, bells, and creative musical activities that support language, coordination, and focus, while also bringing our community together.

Beautiful Indoor and Outdoor Classroom

Our spacious, thoughtfully designed outdoor area acts as a natural extension of the indoor classroom. Children explore nature, engage in hands-on science, participate in gardening, and enjoy movement and group lessons outdoors—supporting physical, sensory, and environmental learning in a dynamic way.

Spanish-Speaking Classroom Teachers

While not a full bilingual immersion program, students benefit from daily exposure to Spanish through interactions with fluent educators.

Mixed-Age Classrooms

Children learn and grow in a community where younger children learn from older peers, and older children reinforce their learning through teaching and leadership.

Individualized, Child-Led Learning

Each child receives tailored guidance—teachers observe and present lessons one-on-one, allowing students to master concepts at their own pace.

Prepared, Child-Centered Environment

Our classrooms are intentionally designed to promote independence, order, and a sense of calm, where every item has a purpose and supports the child’s development.

Uninterrupted Work Cycles

Long periods of focused work time foster deep engagement, problem-solving, and persistence in young learners.

Practical Life Skills

Children engage in meaningful real-life activities that build coordination, concentration, and confidence—such as pouring, sweeping, food prep, and care of the environment.

Grace, Courtesy & Social Development

Children learn how to resolve conflicts peacefully, communicate kindly, and build a classroom community grounded in respect and empathy.

Strong Family Partnerships

We welcome families to be active participants in their child’s learning journey.

Whole-Child Development

Beyond academics, we support emotional intelligence, creativity, physical development, and moral character—developing confident, compassionate learners.

Peaceful, Respectful Classrooms

A calm and intentional environment helps children feel safe, focused, and engaged—nurturing a lifelong love of learning.
