Program
Philosophy:
Our philosophy of early childhood
education begins with a school environment of unqualified love, warmth,
acceptance and understanding that each child is a unique individual.
The philosophy at Hilltop is based on the
belief that self-esteem is the foundation upon which all learning rests.
Young children develop it naturally when they believe in themselves,
their abilities and their worth. It happens in an environment where they
are allowed to make choices, decisions and sometimes mistakes. Learning
always involves feelings. Young children must be allowed to freely
express their emotions in a safe and validating environment if they are
to learn and grow emotionally, as well as develop a healthy sense of
self. If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make
mistakes and learn to trust and share their feelings. If they are taken
seriously, they will develop the ability to respect others. If their
emotional needs are met, they will have the ability to develop empathy.
