Contribute to a legacy of uplifting children

CHS is looking for teachers who are passionate about making a difference for children and families in their community

Our innovative approach to early childhood education is designed to:

  • Support the whole child and empower families with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to grow into their best selves
  • Use play-based learning strategies to emphasize language and literacy, social-emotional skills and development, and other cognitive processes to support whole-child development and learning
  • Keep class sizes small, maintain a low child-to-teacher ratio, and prioritize employee retention to ensure children get the individualized and consistent care they need to succeed
  • Follow a Continuity of Care model that gives children stability, a family-like atmosphere, and the ability to form deeper connections with teachers
