Welcome!
At Hilltop Children’s Center, childhood is celebrated, learning is an adventure, and every child’s unique strengths and capabilities are nurtured. We believe every child deserves a place where they feel loved, valued, empowered, and inspired to learn—regardless of race, income, identity, or background.
Our programs are designed to create an inclusive and supportive community where every child can belong, build meaningful relationships, and enjoy a high-quality learning experience.
Our innovative program, rooted in diverse early childhood philosophies, places play, exploration, curiosity, and collaboration at the heart of learning. We strive to create a second home for children—a place where they feel safe, seen, respected, and excited to discover the world around them.
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 provide children with a consistent and supportive environment while giving them opportunities to connect with a wider circle of peers and educators. Children experience both the comfort of a close-knit community and the richness of a diverse, connected center.
At Hilltop, diversity is celebrated, every family is welcomed, and every child’s potential is honored. We partner with families to create a community where children can grow with confidence, curiosity, compassion, and joy.

“Do you believe in Black Lives Matter?”
Students in Hilltop’s after-school program asked this question – of their teachers and their friends – repeatedly this year. Mostly those inquiring were black students. They had heard about Black Lives Matter on the news, and noticed how educators and students in our local Seattle Public Schools were supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. The kids wanted to support the movement too, and wanted to know how Black Lives Matter was supported at Hilltop. They took action one afternoon by making their own Black Lives Matter signs.
