Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Hillcrest has teachers that have been their for many years and as a parent that is one of the things that I look at in a
preschool.
Parent #2
this school provides wonderful care for my children. They are hiring new staff to even better provide for the children. I understand that it is under new ownership and she is determined to raise the level of education there.
Parent #3
The school is very flexible when it comes to parents needs as it relates to part-time and full-time however I would not recommend sending a child to this school under 3-4 yrs. I don't feel this school is nurturing enough. My child was at this school for about 6 wks. Each day I picked him up, there was a different instructor in the class, no one new his name so security was lacking. I could've walked out of that school with someone else's child and no one would've known. There were several other reasons I decided to withdrawal my child out of this school but the last draw was when I picked him up one day, he was sitting on the floor. When I looked at him, I knew he was not well. I picked him up, by the time I got home and tood his temp. he had a 104 degree temp, no one even new at that school. Further, the director was not there however, I sent her an email expressing my concerns and I never heard back from her. That was really disturbing to me as a first time parent. I felt they obviously didn't care.

My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
