Everything We Do… We Do It Together!
Welcome!
At Hilltop, childhood is celebrated, learning is an adventure, and every child’s unique capabilities are nurtured. Our innovative program—rooted in diverse early childhood philosophies—places play, exploration, and collaboration at the heart of education. We strive to create a second home for children: a place where they feel valued, inspired, and ready for the journey of learning.
Children and families at Hilltop are welcomed into learning communities, small villages within our larger center where relationships, connection, and belonging come first. These communities allow children to grow in a consistent, supportive environment while also engaging with a wider circle of peers and educators. In this way, children experience the best of both worlds: the intimacy of a close-knit group and the richness of a broader community.
Here, diversity is cherished, self-directed play is embraced, and every child’s potential is honored. Together with families, we build a community where children grow with confidence, curiosity, and joy.

Leadership Transition at Hilltop Children’s Center

Dear Hilltop Families,
We want to share important news with you about a transition in leadership at Hilltop. After six years of dedicated service, Darline has decided to step down from her role as Executive Director at the end of October to begin her next chapter. We are deeply grateful for her many contributions to Hilltop – strengthening our programs, guiding our educators, and helping our community grow.
While transitions like this can feel significant, we want to assure you that Hilltop remains strong and stable. Our teachers, staff, and programs will continue as usual, and your children’s daily experience at Hilltop will not change.
