Great Educators!

chs educators
The best educators are those that are able to combine theory and depth of knowledge with real world examples. We are driven by our curiosity, creativity and dedication to improving our world through our educational offering.

Can you still remember your growing school days? You can remember the building, resources or the playground were not your first attraction. Definitely you must have forgotten a lot about the school but you still have one dear memory of what a teacher did. Possibly your favorite teacher. Perhaps because they were one of the first adults to really understand you. Or because they made learning seem so easy. Whatever the reason, we know great teachers inspire great pupils for life. That’s why at CHS, we pay close attention to how we recruit, train and support both our new and experienced educators. We know just how rewarding a teaching career can be, when teachers have the right support and opportunities to develop right.

A unique approach to Early Years education. Every step in Education is important but it has been scientifically proven that the pre-school years are the ‘most important’ as they lay the foundation for future learning and success. We have adopted world renowned educationists’ approach to brain functions in relation to early childhood development to enable children flourish academically, personally, socially and emotionally.

We cater for children from three months of age to the start of school. Our approach is based upon four pillars:
Quality staff
Quality education
Quality care in a safe environment
Partnership with parents and the community

Our members of staff are highly trained, skilled and passionate about Early Years Education. They know how important it is to work in partnership with parents and for young children to have secure attachments with people who care for them and want the best for them, knowing quality education positively impacts children’s progress and outcome in life.
