We are dedicated to helping children reach their fullest potential. We provide a quality education that focuses on healthy development. At Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning, children from six weeks to age 5 can grow and thrive.
Succeeding together
Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning serves children from six weeks to age 5, providing weekday education and care while connecting your family with the resources needed to succeed—with all costs covered.
We are currently accepting admissions applications for CHS Hershey, CHS Harrisburg, and CHS Middletown. CHS receives more applications than we can accept, and our application is not open year-round. By applying by the application deadline, if your application is selected to move forward, your family has time to complete our admissions process.
Welcome to CHS–
take a look
We plan to initially open six Early Childhood Education Centers in Pennsylvania. CHS Hershey and CHS Harrisburg are now open. Each location will have stimulating spaces encouraging hands-on play and exploration in a nurturing, home-like environment.
Early learning program
Our program focuses on the whole child. It is based on leading principles in education and our experience at Milton Hershey School. A CHS education in early childhood ensures children have the knowledge, skills, and values they need to grow into their best selves.
