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.

Teaching and Learning in Communities of Practice
We encourage young children to work together, play with friends, negotiate, and collaborate. We believe that the best and most interesting learning happens when children are thinking together, challenging each others’ theories, and offering up new, sometimes conflicting, understandings. But what about the grownups? How can we encourage co-constructed learning for educators?
Tube Confessions
A conversation shouted through a cardboard tube gets one of our educators thinking about the value of giving children space to make some noise. She suggests that a healthy classroom is noisy with children connecting, engaging, playing. Emotions are messy, and we want children to get in that mess, in order to practice skills like self-advocacy, social risk-taking, and honest communication.
Hilltop’s Equity and Social Justice Statement
We, as Hilltop’s Board of Directors, are taking stock of what has transpired this year on the national level and how to keep moving forward as an organization. This message is for our community – parents, educators, partners – both within Hilltop and throughout the wider early learning community.
