Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning Hosts Fourth Annual Early Childhood Education Leaders Summit in Hershey

On Friday, Catherine Hershey Schools hosted its fourth annual Early Childhood Education Leaders Summit at Hershey Lodge, bringing together nearly 500 early childhood education professionals from local, regional, and national organizations for the cost-free event.
MHS and CHS President Peter G. Gurt said the summit serves as a "mutual learning opportunity" for educators and professionals to strengthen their work supporting children and families in local communities.
The 2026 ECE Leaders Summit, themed "One Team, One Dream," featured keynote speaker Erica Dhawan, a globally recognized expert on 21st-century teamwork who provided attendees practical tools for their classrooms.
Currently, CHS serves 450 children daily across three operating centers in Dauphin County, providing non-residential, year-round weekday care to children from under-resourced and overburdened backgrounds.
The organization will open its first Lancaster County location this summer, with additional centers planned for Elizabethtown and Lancaster City in 2027 as part of a larger six-center initiative.
