Join us in building on the wonders of childhood.
Hilltop Children’s Center is an internationally recognized school and training institute of early learning. Hilltop has been providing and promoting child-centered early education for children aged 2 to 10 for over 40 years! Drawing inspiration from the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, Hilltop’s faculty engages daily in rigorous reflective practice – collaboratively designing curriculum and environment around the emerging interests and curiosities of children, and participates in the professional development institute.
Hilltop is first and foremost, a center of inquiry – for children, families, faculty, and the ECE field. Our educators are early learning professionals dedicated to celebrating the wonders of childhood alongside children, while also deepening their practice with children through regular reflection and study. As a center, we are committed to our vision of Hilltop as a place where:
• Children are valued for their ability to do meaningful work, their wonder and curiosity, their perspectives, and ability to play
• Families are valued for their bonds and traditions, their ability to play, their commitment to work, home and community, and their dreams for their children
• Faculty are valued for their vision, their delight in children, their skill and knowledge, their commitment to families
