Hilltop is a non-denominational school sponsored by West Congregational Church providing a Christ-centered program for children ages 2 years 9 months through age 9.

We believe that each child is an individual and should be treated as such. During early childhood, a child develops most of his/her permanent beliefs, attitudes, and habits. Using Christian principles we foster development of the whole child: spiritually, socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

We provide teaching based on the inspired Word of God and on current early childhood education models. A chapel time is planned for every class once a week, utilizing songs, prayer and a story based on Christian values.

We firmly believe in the power of prayer. We pray regularly for the children, their families, and each other.

We believe God created all people in His image. Therefore, we provide services to all children and their families regardless of their race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, disability or marital status.

Our Mission

Our purpose is to provide Christ-centered, quality care for children away from their parents by offering:

• Assurance that God loves them.
• A safe and relaxed, yet stimulating environment.
• Acceptance, love, and guidance from staff as well as opportunities for friendship with peers.
• Positive discipline that will help each child develop self-control.
• An environment which promotes development of a positive self-image through the mastery of motor, language, perceptual, and social skills.

In addition, we gently guide children as they learn:

• To accept responsibility along with privileges.
• About sharing, ownership and cooperation.
• To accept others, showing kindness and respect for all kinds of people.
• To accept the consequences of poor choices and to deal with them in Biblically acceptable ways.
