Early Education (18 mo - TK)
|
Welcome to Hillcrest Christian Early Education!
Early Education focuses on the importance of the critical developmental milestones for children ages 18 months - Transitional Kindergarten. With our small class sizes and high adult-to-child ratios, we provide safe and nurturing environments where every child feels valued and can explore the talents that God has given them. Our program focuses on helping your child develop in all areas; physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual. We believe that every child is unique and a special gift from God. It is a privilege to teach our Little Saints that they are loved and cared for by our Lord Jesus Christ. K/Pre-K Playground Design Concept

Not only is it a loving and nurturing environment for our son, but one where he is continuously learning and thriving. Our Programs2024 - 2025 Early Education Student Handbook:
