What makes Crestwood special:
Community:
Crestwood Hills is a cooperative school that relies upon active family participation. Each family assists in their child’s class twice monthly and works four
weekend workdays per school year to help maintain the school. Families also participate in membership meetings, fundraising events, and some serve as board members. Our board is comprised of approximately 20 parents who set policy for and assist in the daily operation of the school, including in the areas of approving the school’s budget, making purchasing needs, scheduling parent workdays, overseeing school upkeep and
fundraising. The school also works in close association with the Crestwood Hills Homeowners Association, which owns the property in which the school is housed.
Teachers/Classes:
The school benefits from a strong team of experienced and
committed teachers, each of whom brings special skills and a commitment to
Crestwood’s philosophy. Classes consist of approximately 20 children, and are staffed with two teachers, an aide, and two parent helpers. Our school offers partial-day preschool, and is divided into a morning and an afternoon program. There are two
separate morning classes: one for children in the 3 year-old range, and another for children in the 4 year-old range. There are two separate afternoon classes: a mixed age class of 3 and 4 year olds, as well as an extended year class for 5 to 6 year olds. Each class is three hours in length.
Location:
The school is located in Kenter Canyon next to a quiet park. It is a rustic, secluded environment where children can grow and thrive.
Challenges and Opportunities:
CHCNS supports the growth of parents, as well as children. Accordingly, the Director will have the opportunity to work on a larger than preschool scale, working closely with families and the outside community. This broad
scope offers great opportunities for personal and professional growth; therein too, lies some of the challenge. In addition, the Director will have the opportunity to lead a school with an established reputation and find their own voice as leader of a community. A challenge will be maintaining the character of the school during the process of changing its leadership.
