Sample Schedule

Providing a predictable routine for children makes them feel safe. The teachers at Hilltop follow a schedule to supply the children with the security of a routine, but are flexible to adjust the schedule should they need to for any reason.

Since September of 2020, we began and have continued to use a staggered start time and end time for each group of students.

Two-year-old’s and Three’s start at 9:30 a.m. and end at either 11:30 a.m. for two’s or 12:00 noon for 3’s.

Full-Day School Day Class begins at 9:15 a.m. and end at 2:45 p.m.

Our school readiness funded classroom meets from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. each day.

All classes begin with a greeting time.  The teachers incorporate story time, outside gross motor time, outdoor classroom time, circle time and devotion daily.  We provide a healthy snack each day which consists of a fruit or vegetable and a grain, (cracker, animal cookie, granola bar, and the like).  Music is provided weekly by a trained “Music Together” consultant.  Movement and music are also part of the daily routine.  We allow the children to explore centers on their own based on the curriculum planned for the day.  Sensory table, art, writing, dramatic play, math and science centers are also part of our play based curriculum.
