Company Overview Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning (CHS) provides year-round, weekday care and education for children from six weeks to age 5, with a focus on children and families from under-resourced and overburdened communities. As part of a $350 million initiative to develop six Early Childhood Education Centers across Pennsylvania, CHS is building a new model for early childhood education—one that gives children a strong foundation for lifelong success while embracing and supporting their families. The Associate Teacher is an individual passionate about education, and excited about working with children to further their educational and emotional growth. In collaboration with the Lead Teacher and the Assistant Teacher, the Associate Teacher is responsible for supporting the implementation of the early childhood classroom curriculum and assessment process, involving families in classroom experiences, and cultivating a classroom environment that represents each child's family culture.
