Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education offering infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, has broken ground on its newest corporate-owned location in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s growth strategy. The October 21 event celebrated Celebree’s continued commitment to community-centered growth and sustainable development.
Building a Hub for Families and Local Businesses
The new Celebree School of Chester Springs, slated to open in early winter 2026, is part of the Byers Station development at 200 Begonia Drive, a four-acre mixed-use property led by HWG Properties. The site will feature a 10,500-square-foot school alongside 10,500 square feet of retail space, creating a vibrant hub for families and local businesses. Retail tenants will include Tropical Smoothie Café and Atelier Beauty, with one final space available for lease, furthering the project’s vision of a lively, community-centered hub.
“Our expansion into Chester Springs reflects a larger vision, one rooted in building a lasting legacy of education, opportunity, and community,” said Richard Huffman, Founder and CEO of Huffman Family. “This project isn’t just about real estate; we’re creating places where children thrive, families feel supported, and entrepreneurs can grow with purpose.”
A Milestone Moment for Huffman Family Brands
This milestone reflects the expansion of Huffman Family Brands’ portfolio, which now spans six brands delivering early childhood education, enrichment programs, franchise opportunities, real estate development, investment, and philanthropic initiatives nationwide. As the company expands, this milestone showcases its commitment to quality education and community-driven entrepreneurship.
“This development represents the future of intentional, community-centered growth,” said Allan Greenberg, Director of Investor Relations and CFO at HWG Properties. “Through HWG Properties, we build high-performing properties with a strong focus on childcare real estate and we provide opportunities for franchise partners to become partial owners of their schools, creating long-term alignment, investment, and community impact.”
Strategic Collaboration Between HWG Properties and CPI
HWG Properties, part of Huffman Family Brands, acquires, develops, and manages properties, building long-term value for investors and partners while prioritizing integrity, innovation, and sustainability. CPI identifies and invests in prime real estate opportunities specifically for Celebree School franchisees, allowing them to have a stake in the property they operate, strengthening alignment with the brand while fostering local ownership and commitment.
The Byers Station location is strategically positioned at a fully signalized intersection along Route 100, with convenient access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The surrounding community is growing rapidly, with over 750 new residential units under construction, underscoring the demand for high-quality early education.
The groundbreaking event included representatives from Celebree School, CPI, HWG Properties, Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region, and local community leaders, celebrating a project that blends educational excellence with smart, sustainable development.
