Preschool
​
Through this ministry, we provide a safe and loving environment for children, where they will learn the good news of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We seek to teach children Christian values and how to develop a pattern of behavior that mirrors those values.
​
We are very excited to continue to provide quality education and great fun. We strive to engage children in meaningful activities that allow their creativity to flourish.
We are a small half-day program with intimate class sizes with lots of individual attention. We have a weekly chapel and offer lunch bunch daily.
We use The Creative Curriculum because it offers a balanced approach to teaching preschool with a blend of teacher-planned and child-initiated learning strategies and activities that revolve around a central weekly theme. It focuses on the various strengths, needs, interests, and learning styles of individual students.
We are also very excited to teach the Letterland Curriculum in both our 3's and 4's classrooms.

KAWONI SNOW
The Preschool Program at Hillsdale Church is unmatched by any others. These teachers go above and beyond for these children. The school is extremely organized, communicates well and the curriculum is simply impeccable. My son has learned so much in his two short years here. I would recommend this school and group of teachers to anyone who is looking for a meaningful, fun, and Christ-based program. I cannot say enough about this school. My son has learned the Lord's Prayer, Pledge of Allegiance, Days of the Week, Months of the year, all ABCs, sight words and more. Thank you Hillsdale Church Preschool for all you do!

BETHANY HARRY
Implementing the Letterland Curriculum in the 3 yr old class room has been beneficial to our daughter academically and developmentally. Our daughter enjoys her "job assignments" such as flag holder, line leader and light leader. She has learned the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer. I have been thankful for timely and detailed communication from the director and from the teachers. We are grateful for this Preschool.

MIKE STEFFAN
Our soon-to-be 4-year-old has been at Hillsdale since she was 1, and couldn't ask for a better experience. The teachers and staff are super kind, knowledgeable, and teach so many things outside of their normal curriculum that are invaluable. If you live in the area, this is the place to go!

I cannot recommend Hillsdale United Methodist more! My oldest child started there during the midst of COVID. My youngest is currently there now and is flourishing. The teachers are very loving and caring. The class sizes are very manageable so that the children are receiving exceptional one on one care. Hillsdale Methodist is the best!

JEANNA AURIEMMA
Our daughter has been attending preschool and the summer playschool program for the past 2 years. We feel so blessed and grateful to be there. Our daughter absolutely adores her teachers and comes home every day talking non stop about how much she enjoys school. I am incredibly impressed with what she has learned and confident they are preparing children well for Kinder. The best part is the love and passion we see from the teachers and director.

I have 2 kids at Hillsdale, 3 and 5, and they love it. The teachers are amazing and my kids are always so excited to head to preschool. Angela, who is the main contact, is quick to respond if you have a question and always keeps the parents informed. I highly recommend this preschool.

JENN MURPHY
I absolutely wish we had come across Hillsdale sooner! My son (who can be timid with new situations) was so eager to go to school after we went for a tour. The first day, I had to force a hug out of him because he was so happy to be there. He is always so excited to go to school and see his teacher and friends. The teachers are warm, caring, loving and FABULOUS! My 4-year-old has come out saying vocabulary words which have blown us away. I could not be more thankful for all that this preschool has done for our son! I highly recommend!

LYNETTE FOX
Hillsdale Methodist Preschool has been such a blessing for our family! All 3 of our boys have attended preschool here and they all absolutely loved it and thrived in this program, even though all 3 of our boys have dramatically different personalities and learning styles. The effort and love that is put into their programs is way beyond expectations. Our youngest son comes home so excited about all the things they did in school… makes me wish I was 4 again! He has grown academically and socially so much since he started school here this past September.
