Our Co-Director, Robin Psenka, comes to TCH with 16 years of ECC experience as well as knowledge of the HighScope Curriculum which is used in our ECC. Robin has a Bachelor’s Degree from Rochester College and a Master’s Degree from Oakland University with both degrees in Early Childhood Education. She is a trainer for Oakland Schools and sits on boards for various early childhood initiatives. She has three children of her own and has been with The Community House since 2011.

Our teachers are carefully chosen through an extensive interview process. They are selected on the basis of their educational backgrounds, their ability to meet the individual needs of the children and their teamwork skills. The majority of our teachers have formal education or training in the field of Early Childhood. Our teachers are paid competitive salaries with the options of health and vacation benefits. This helps the ECC keep a consistent staff of familiar faces. The ECC believes that ongoing training is not only important, but also imperative for the teachers. Therefore, the teachers attend conferences and monthly staff/training meetings. All teachers receive formal HighScope training.
