We feel so thankful to have found a great academic home at CHA! We have two children attending this year. Our son started at CHA two years ago in preschool and is now in Kindergarten. We have been so pleased with the school, that this year we transitioned our daughter to CHA; she is in the elementary school. It's wonderful to have them both at CHA. The school offers small class sizes, individualized attention, a wonderful balance of developmentally appropriate academics and play, as well as a very welcoming, family environment. My children know all of the teachers and students across campus - we love it here!

I love working here. It is one of the most warm, loving, nurturing, and openly diverse schools I have had the pleasure to work for. The staff have accepted me with arms outstretched and made my transition from California seamless. I adore working with my co-workers and all the children at CHA. I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else.

I have 2 children who attend CHA -- 3 yr old, enrolled in the Meridian Campus and 6 months old, attends the Jean Road Infant/Toddler campus. I absolutely love CHA -- Small classes, clean and spacious facility, wonderful teachers, excellent curriculum, expansive gym -- just everything about the school i love. The teachers communicate with parents on a daily basis via blog postings on what the class did for the day, the curriculum for the toddlers have a nice balance of free play and structure; they have assessments for infants/todders to see if there are any potential developmental issues. The curriculum includes Music Together and Soccer Shots; spanish and german language classes. I''ve been so impressed with how my son and daughter has blossomed. I would not hesitate to recommend CHA to any other parent!!
