Christopher House

The first five years are the most pivotal years in a child’s development. During this time, children experience exponential growth, and are working to develop foundational language and literacy skills. High-quality early childhood education, like Christopher House’s Early Childhood Develoment Services (ECDS) maximize each child’s potential during this crucial time by fostering their social and cognitive growth. A 2006 report by the Committee for Economic Development found that children who participate in high-quality early childhood education are less likely to repeat a grade or require special education classes, more likely to graduate from high school, and less likely to participate in criminal activity during their juvenile and adult years.

Our Program
Our ECDS program works with over 400 children each day to develop early literacy skills and encourage them to explore, problem-solve, and work with classmates. Every one of our early childhood classrooms has three teachersluding a master teacher holding a credential to teach ages birth through 3 from the state of Illinois. Christopher House’s ECDS program was one of the first in the nation to receive accreditation under the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s new, more rigorous standards.
