Local Mom Brings Her Passion for Early Education to Northbrook with Celebree School Opening

Early Childhood Education Franchise Opens in Northbrook, Brings Well-Rounded Program to the Community

NORTHBROOK, Ill., Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, will celebrate the grand opening of its newest school in Northbrook on Feb. 22. Located at 1200 Shermer Road, the new school will begin operating on March 3, providing a customized program that addresses the physical, social, emotional, and academic needs of children while adhering to Illinois' early education standards.

Celebree School of Northbrook is owned and operated by local entrepreneur Maggie Pisarczyk. Pisarczyk, originally from Poland, has always had a passion to nurture and teach children. After a career in finance, she realized her true calling was early childhood education. Pisarczyk took a chance on a teaching role at a school in Highland Park, where she immediately connected with the children. When she and her husband began looking for a business investment, a broker introduced them to Celebree, and she fell in love with its support system, people, and mission. She believes children are the most incredible gift and that early education is key to instilling kindness, compassion, and strong values. Owning a Celebree School is a dream come true, and she is beyond excited to create a nurturing environment where young minds can grow and thrive.

"You can't teach a 40-year-old how to be kind, but you can shape a 4-year-old into a kind and compassionate person," shared Pisarczyk. "Children are incredible, and I'm so excited to be working with them—helping them learn, grow, and develop the important life skills that will shape who they become."

To celebrate the new location, Celebree School of Northbrook will host a grand opening event on Feb. 22. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will feature a variety of exciting activities and exclusive perks. Attendees can enjoy referral incentives and founding family member perks, including a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card, a $50 Amazon gift card, and a local family fun gift basket. The event will also include a cake cutting ceremony, snacks and refreshments, and fun activities for kids of all ages. Guests are welcome to tour the beautiful new school, explore classroom showcases and take pictures in a photobooth. Music will add to the festive atmosphere, making this a memorable event for the whole family.

Celebree School lives by its promise to Grow People Big and Small™, and was founded on the belief that success in early childhood development is equal parts curriculum and a connection that extends beyond the classroom to address the needs of the whole child and the whole family. Each Celebree School is a village made up of parents, children, and educators while providing curriculum-based care that prepares your child for kindergarten and beyond.

With a 30-plus-year history of providing superior early childhood education, Celebree School delivers a stable, secure learning environment that helps children develop a lifelong love of learning. Programs are available for children six weeks to 12 years old with unique curriculums designed to develop positive social skills and values while allowing children to learn about their world through age-appropriate play, projects, and activities. Care is available part time or full time and parents are allowed to drop in and visit at any time.  

"We're honored to continue to help brilliant entrepreneurs like Pisarczyk actualize their business goals and have them join our Celebree School family," said Richard Huffman, Founder and CEO of Celebree School. "As we continue to expand our brand's footprint through franchising, it's more important than ever that we partner with local community leaders who have a passion for early childhood education.
