The Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning (CHS) marked a major milestone with the grand opening of its newest location in Middletown — the third of six planned centers in Pennsylvania.

For Senate Alexander, Executive Director of CHS and a Milton Hershey School graduate, the opening is deeply personal.
"It’s a special moment for me personally as an MHS graduate… to now bring this program that’s needed to another community," Alexander said. "We’ll be able to serve almost 450 children next year."

The new CHS Middletown location will provide care and education for 150 children, adding to the 300 already served at CHS centers in Hershey and Harrisburg. Designed with a unique touch, the facility includes 25,000 square feet of outdoor play space. "This particular plot used to be a farm," Alexander explained. "Now we’re transforming it into high-quality early childhood education for a community that needs it."
