We celebrate independent thinking, natural curiosity, self-expression, individual worth, and the simple joy of being a child. At Chesterfield Academy, we partner with parents in cultivating those budding roots and wings.
To help their roots grow and wings sprout, we go beyond just childcare to provide developmentally appropriate learning programs designed to build the foundation of social, cognitive, interpersonal and language skills your child will need for later success in both school and in life.Your child is your world and you want the best for your child.

Services
Since then, we have touched hundreds of children and families in the community. As we continue to grow, we promise every family that we will live up to their expectations by creating a higher standard of care, education and learning for the mind, body and spirit of children and parents who come through our doors.
The entrance to our school remains locked at all times. A member of our leadership team will personally open the door for our families so we are physically available for every person who enters our building. We also have a doorbell in case the person at the desk has stepped away. Our child pick-up policies are strictly enforced, and all exterior doors remain locked at all times.
Our unique Hands-On Progressive Education Learning Program (H.O.P.E.) is based on the knowledge that preschool children learn best through hands-on activities. It is rooted in a belief that we should teach children how to think for themselves through the process of discovery. Our teachers are facilitators of learning who encourage children to use a wide variety of activities to learn.
Our infant daycare program ensures that babies receive the personal one-on-one attention they need to develop trust for the world around them. Infants are held, cuddled, talked to and sang to throughout the day. We work closely with parents to develop each infant's daily schedule. At Chesterfield Academy we understand the importance of flexibility with infants and our teachers understand and appreciate this fact.
At this age children begin to gain more independence, but still have a strong need for one-on-one affection and attention. A more structured schedule is introduced in the toddler room. This helps children feel more secure by providing them with a sense of time and expectation of things to come. Our toddler room is equipped with age-appropriate toys so each child is fully engaged, safe and enjoying each day.

We have had children at Chesterfield Academy for 11 years from infant through school age and highly recommend it. The convenience to Wildhorse Creek Road neighborhoods is a great benefit. It is clean and well-managed. Most recently my six-year-old was there for summer camp and we added additional days because he wanted to go more and enjoyed the teacher.

Chesterfield Academy is the absolute best! We were looking for someplace to take our first born to a couple of years ago...and this school turned out to be such a blessing to our family. The lesson plans, the updates we receive throughout the day through Brightwheel's app, the exceptionally caring and loving teachers we have always had for our son since day one, the safety, the amazing staff is top notch and I wouldn't imagine taking our children any where else for Preschool. Our son has learned so much from this school and I look forward to having our next child attend this school as well. I highly

Choosing a child care facility is one of the most stressful early decisions that parents make. My wife and I raised our first 3 kids in St. Louis city and had a place where our children felt at home while they were away from home. When we moved to Chesterfield and needed to locate a new facility for our forth child we thought there was no way we would find that same atmosphere and feeling of family again. We were so wrong, Chesterfield Academy has proved to be every bit as amazing for our daughter. She has thrived in the caring environment that Chesterfield Academy provides and often wakes up asking

I could not be happier with the love, care and attention our boys receive at Chesterfield Academy. All of the teachers & staff have come to feel like our extended family. I have been so impressed with the daily learning experiences & activities - even with our youngest in the infant & toddler rooms! And, receiving updates & pictures throughout the day makes my heart happy. Our boys love going to school every day & we are confident that they are in good hands. Thank you, Chesterfield Academy!

If you have a child who isnt very good with focusing, and is hyper definitly don't send them here, they kicked my 2 year old out after only 5 hours because he "couldnt focus, was too hyper, and wouldn't concentrate," ya know the typical 2 year old behavior, and then I found out from numerous employees that the director Shannon, was going around telling then my son is autistic, and that he needed to have development testing. The teachers are absolutely amazing but the directors are terrible.

Terrible. The management has no clue how to effectively manage employees or children. The "directors" never set foot in the classrooms even when it would be deemed necessary to stay in ratio children to teachers (which is required by the state). When faced with a child or children that are troublesome (biting, kicking, slapping etc.) no one helps when asked, even when the problem is well known by the directors. There are some benefits given to employees but they change based on how tge management feels. Sick days are given until they feel you've had enough (no one is told how many they have). Employees
