Spirit Wear Store is Open!
Get ready to show your school spirit each Friday this school year. Place your order online, now through August 29.
Have Children’s House gear your child has outgrown? Bring it into our Spirit Wear Swap located in the coat room adjacent to the front desk. Leave an item and take something that fits! Stop by anytime.
Updated! Fall Employment and Coop Opportunities
Working with us can be very rewarding as a parent. Not only do you get to see your children throughout the day, parents who work full-time receive 50% off their tuition as well as many other wonderful perks. Currently we have two positions open, a full-time Kitchen/Kitchen Classroom Support and Full-Time YCC Support, see descriptions here.
Another way to join us is by becoming a substitute! These positions are coop positions and earn credit toward your student’s tuition. They are flexible and give you a glimpse into the inner workings of the classrooms as well as getting you involved in the TCH community. Email Kim Gallagher, kim@traversechildrenshouse.org if you want to know more about either of these opportunities!
International Coastal Cleanup Day, Saturday, Sept 17 from 10 a.m. to Noon
Let's work together to clean up a local beach! Bring the whole family for this fun and rewarding Children's House Parent Association (CHiPA) community service event. Stay tuned for the beach location! Add your names to this list to let us know to expect you.
