Get Involved
The best way to make the most of your family's time at The Children's House is to be involved. You make a difference!
Volunteer
There are many ways to get involved at The Children's House and Compass Montessori Junior High. Throughout the year, we post volunteer opportunities, fundraising needs, and special events and gatherings in Waypoints. We also directly reach out to those who express interest in a certain area.
Fill out this interest form to get started. Please mark anything that sounds interesting to you and share your skills and talents with us throughout the year.
Giving
The Children's House is a nonprofit organization and an independent school. Our annual giving program is called the Bright Futures Fund. This year, the fundraising goal is $275,000 so that we can offer the highest quality Montessori experience while keeping tuition at an accessible rate for our region.
You can help us reach our Bright Futures Fund goal by giving at a level that is right for you. Read more and give here.

Children's House Parent Association (CHiPA) welcomes all parents/guardians to be involved in the life of our school.

Substitute
Working in our classrooms can be very rewarding. Being a sub is a flexible position that helps you earn credit toward your student’s tuition and gives you a glimpse into the daily life of a Montessori classroom.
