Hilltop Preschool offers a developmentally-and age-appropriate program where children are given the freedom within a structured environment to explore, create, and interact with adults and other children. We understand and emphasize learning should be fun and children learn while they play.
We strongly believe that children learn through active exploration of their environment. Optimal learning takes place when we provide learning opportunities that build on the children's existing knowledge and prior experiences. Children first learn simple, concrete concepts and then use these concepts to understand more complex ideas. Through the interaction with peers, adults and various materials, children strengthen social skills and continue to learn about the world around them.
We currently offer the four following programs. For each program, click on the program name to find out more detailed information.
