We are a unique, small, private home school currently providing services for children ages 4 months to 5 years old. We believe students learn through interactions and experiences and create in the context of play, projects, and social interactions.

Critical thinking is encouraged and individualized, as a result, students learn at their own pace. Hilltop House allows children to explore their creativity through art, music, hands-on projects, gardening, and so much more.

Our world is full of exploration and our students are curious to learn. All learning is uniquely tailored to each student. Hilltop House has a small population that keeps the student-to-teacher ratio low and allows for more hands-on instruction and attention. Students experience a sense of community and build long-lasting relationships. Looking for a more robust learning experience? 

It is our belief that children understand themselves and their world through enjoyable learning activities carefully planned for the child’s developmental level. As children grow and become competent in the skills taught, the become self-directed and have a positive view of themselves. An enthusiasm for learning is a natural by-product of this new self-confidence.

Our goal is to provide a loving and stimulating environment which encourages a child to grow intellectually, to interact appropriately with peers and adults, and to exhibit respect for himself and others. It is the philosophy of Hilltop House Daycare that children who feel safe, comfortable, and respected will exhibit a natural curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.

We believe that as a child develops new interests, reaches new levels of comprehension, and begins to acquire new skills, it is our job as educators to provide materials to facilitate the child’s natural development. The philosophy at Hilltop House Daycare can be described as play-based, with an emphasis on peer interaction. 

“You won’t find a more patient, kind, energetic caregiver for your children.

“Katie is the cream of the crop and truly gives her all to each child she works with. Her passion for helping children develop and learn is undeniable the moment you see her around children.

Katie puts her heart and soul into caring for your child as one of her own and is constantly coming up with new unique ways to teach and support children in each stage of their development. You are one of the lucky few if you can snag a spot in Hilltop House.”
