The Hillsborough Preschools

We offer three amazing preschools within our community. Each preschool is located on a Hillsborough City School District campus.

Under the auspices of the Hillsborough City School District and administered by
the Hillsborough Recreation Program, the Hillsborough Preschools offer an early
childhood learning program on each elementary school campus fostering social development, academic foundation, creativity, and emotional and physical well-being in an environment designed to give each child a positive self-image and a successful introduction to a life of learning. Our E.C.E. qualified teachers, supervised by the school principals, work closely with the elementary school staffs to provide a unique opportunity for children to become comfortable in the elementary school setting-and well prepared for the next step-into kindergarten.

Preschool should be a magical, joyful place where children are free to run, play, laugh, sing, dance, create, paint, imagine, discover, get dirty, and be loved and accepted for who they are. We strive for a happy balance between play and academic and social skills, never once forgetting that for each child the quality of this first school experience will last a lifetime. Our task is to create an environment that gives the children a feeling of security and happiness while encouraging curiosity, exploration and experimentation-the stepping stones to learning. We want our children to become confident, independent and eager to greet the possibilities of each new day. Children must be potty trained before attending any class.
