Chestnut Grove Child DEVELOPMENT CENTER

We seek to nurture children by providing an environment of love and acceptance. Our program provides opportunities for two, three, and four-year-old’s to develop strong social skills, relate to teachers, follow directions, listen, develop imagination and experiment with a wide variety of materials. We admit children regardless of race, color, sex, religion and national origin. Children with special needs accepted under the ADA guidelines.

The Chestnut Grove program is implemented through structured daily activities with flexibility. Children are encouraged to participate in all activities. They are given options to pursue their own interests. Time is provided to explore different media in art, language development, and math skills, and to learn about the world around them. The emphasis is on the development of the whole child.
