Description: The Hilltop Christian Nursery School was created out of the desire to provide our community's children with a strong educational foundation enriched by traditional Christian values. Based on proven methods of early education, strong emphasis is placed on learning through participation in arts and crafts, storytelling, singing, rhythmic movement, dramatic play and cooking.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
