Chesterbrook Academy® Preschool Donates to Local Transitional Housing

Summer campers at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool on Mallard Creek Road in Charlotte recently donated more than 100 items to Gracious Hands Housing, a local Transitional Housing Agency for women and children. Over the past few weeks, campers collected toiletries, coloring books, crayons, books, small toys, and educational flash cards for children supported by the shelter.

Chesterbrook Academy Preschool instills a sense of social responsibility at an early age by implementing opportunities for students to learn about the importance of giving back to their communities and helping others in need. Its signature Links to Learning preschool curriculum emphasizes social-emotional learning as a stepping stone for kindergarten and beyond, working with children to help recognize and label emotions in themselves and others, while learning how they fit into their community and the larger world.
