At Chesterbrook Academy Preschool of Shorewood, we combine play and learning for children ages 6 weeks through Pre-K in our vibrant and fun child care classrooms.
We're far more than a daycare. Our NAEYC-accredited preschool follows our Links to Learning curriculum, which includes important academic, social, and emotional skills to prepare children for kindergarten and life.
Our child care teachers are enthusiastic about developing lifelong learners in the Shorewood, Country Glen, Brighton Lakes, Lakewood Prairie, Wessex, Joliet, and Plainfield communities and beyond.
Contact us today to see why families love our preschool.
We are conveniently located at the intersection of Black & River Rds.
