Jenna has been absolutely amazing!! I have a 3 year old in her class and my daughter loves her and has so much fun in her class. We were new to daycare this year because my daughter was being watched by family previously so this was quite the transition for us but Jenna truly eased my mind and I trust and know that my daughter is being well taken care of while she’s there. They send home a report daily so I know what she ate that day as well as if she had a good day, don’t even get me started on the fun activities they have for her daily. I recommend this place to everyone.

Chester Child Development is excellent! My child is in Kindergarten this year and is excelling well above the expected level of Kindergartners! Their Kindergarten prep program is great and will really have your child prepared! I really appreciated how well they communicated with my husband and I. The staff was there for us from start to ending. I loved Mrs. Trudy and all the other experienced teachers! If you are looking for a great learning experience and excellent communication send your child to this amazing preschool!

I couldn’t ask for a better facility to care for my
Child. I attended Chester Child Development when I was a child and I’m so glad that my child gets to experience the same positive experience that I had. I highly recommend this school for anyone who is looking for affordable childcare while knowing that your child is excellent hands.
