Child care
Hilltop's early childhood education program provides full-time, year-round care and education to children, ages 6 weeks through 5 years. Our Paths to Quality participating program is unique in the fact that we not only encourage diversity, we thrive on it. Sixty-five percent of our children are from low-income households, twenty percent are exposed to multiple languages, thirty-two percent are from a racial minority group and forty-five percent are from a single-parent home. By offering tuition scholarships to children and families that qualify, parents can change their direction in life by enrolling in college or maintaining employment within the community. Sixty-five percent of our children were able to receive the funding needed to be enrolled at Hilltop last year due to donations from Porter County Community Foundation, United Way of Porter County, Anderson Foundation and other local businesses and individuals. All families have selected Hilltop as their facility of choice for many reasons including our diverse population, our qualified staff, and our reputation in the community as being the place to be. In addition to our diversity, we promote kindergarten readiness by giving our children the tools to succeed. One-hundred percent of our children, regardless of background, tested in the ninety-fifth percentile or higher on kindergarten entrance testing. At Hilltop, you will find warm, individualized care for each child enrolled. To us, childcare is not a product to be sold for profit, rather an environment for all children to grow and learn in a way that encourages acceptance and appreciation for others. Hilltop's early childhood teachers support learning by providing developmentally appropriate activities and materials that children find engaging. Eighty-Five percent of our lead teachers have 10+ years of teaching experience. Furthermore, all lead teachers in our Kindergarten Readiness Program are licensed and/or degree in the field of education. In addition to our caring and qualified teaching staff, Hilltop employees volunteers and Valparaiso University work study students to supplement in our classrooms, often providing better than state ratios. This provides each child with the individualized attention needed to explore, grow and learn at their own pace. Please call for more information, including our rates and current openings.
