 HILLTOP NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE

Oliver_Hilltop _ Women's Fund

Being able to send Oliver to Hilltop has meant that while I’m at work I know that not only is he read to, snuggled and wears his glasses in my absence, but he is loved. We are beyond thankful that Oliver has had the opportunity to join the Hilltop family."

"They say it takes a village to raise a child, and we’ve been blessed to have Hilltop as part of our village. Prior to enrolling my son, Oliver, at Hilltop, I was starting to mentally prepare myself to give up my career to stay home and rely on only my husband’s income for our family or trust a stranger to watch my son in their home.

Leaving your child to be cared for by someone else is a near impossible decision, but with the opening of the new infant classroom we were able to get Oliver into Hilltop. The care his teachers and all the staff have shown far surpassed any expectations I had.

PARENTS AS TEACHERS

Lisa's children, Amelia (4) and Luisa (2, pictured), have been playing and learning with Lana Burdett, Parent Educator, monthly via Zoom over the past year.

"The Parents as Teachers program has given me new and exciting activities to try with my girls. Not only are they learning while doing, they are having fun. In addition, the resources and 'take home' activities that are provided have given me more ideas of how to teach them at home.

Lana inspires me to try new things (sometimes messy). She is wonderful at answering questions about their development or providing assistance with activities. She is always motivating and gives wonderful praise that boosts my confidence as a mother.

We love PAT and would highly recommend it to any parent!"
