Unfortunately we don't have any experience with Chesterbrook but I would advise you not to take your children to Adventure Bay.
Ours attended the Westo location. Although we were satisfied with the contents of the regular pre-school programs, we found students and parents are not valued by the director of this school and even less by their corporate office.
For 08-09 school year they changed the wording of the agreement to obligate parents to a full 12-month tuition plan, including summer camp.
Our kids never attended their summer program in the past and we never had to advise they were not going to. However this year they made mandatory the payment of tuition during summer regardless of children participation. We ended up paying them full month tuition to avoid getting involved in a collections process, as they threatened to do it.
We found out that selected parents were informed of a need to sign a 30-day notice to avoid being charged for the summer program. Everybody else had to pay even if their kids are not attending as it is our case.
This doesn't look legal and it is definitively not fair. When we brought the situation up to the director (C. Weistein), she could not care less and referred us to discuss it with the very rude people of their corporate office.
I would think it twice before taking my children ever agin to this place.
Chesterbrook Academy in Pembroke Pines at Sheridan and I-75 is an easy commute from Weston and they have a preschool (Infant to PreK) and an Elementary Middle School. I like the school because it has small class sizes and is like school should be -- hands on learning, nurturing, and they know all the students. Even the principal at the elem/middle school knows all the children and I can talk to her or the teachers to know what is going on with my children. It is a warm atmosphere and the school has a great curriculum too. I can't believe more Weston parents don't have their kids attend this school!
