Hillcrest Christian Early Education

Early Education (Infant - TK)
​

Cheryl CurtisEarly Education Director - Cheryl Curtis
Welcome to Hillcrest Christian Early Education!

My name is Cheryl Curtis, and I have been privileged to serve the Hillcrest Christian School community since 2021. I started working with children in after-school programs while I was in high school, and during that time, I developed a heart and passion for working with children in Early Education. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Child Development in 2011, and while I was in college, I spent a tremendous amount of time working with children ranging from ages six weeks to three years old. When the Lord brought my family to Hillcrest, I had no idea how God would grow and develop me as an educator, a parent, and a child of God. Hillcrest has become our second home, and I am beyond grateful to be a part of this Christ-centered team!

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, and I look forward to getting to know your family as we partner together in your child’s education!
  

The staff have been such an enormous blessing to us, and the school has provided so much more than we could have ever expected. Not only is it a loving and nurturing environment for our son, but one where he is continuously learning and thriving.
