What Parents Say
Hillcrest Children's Center receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents, with most praising the caring, long-term staff, family-oriented environment, and strong curriculum. One parent reported a serious supervision incident involving a child's hair being cut and dissatisfaction with staff responsiveness and classroom conditions.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our child has received at Hillcrest. It stands head and shoulders above the other two childcare facilities in which our child was enrolled prior to transferring here. Our child has received genuine love and care daily and has become a confident and socially mature child ready to tackle kindergarten in the fall.
My daughter started in 2021 in the baby room and has grown up at Hillcrest. My baby now also attends and our kids are safe, loved, and cared for and I can go to work and feel at ease. One of my favorite things is the kids are always going outside to play, and get dirty and explore. Hillcrest has teachers who have been there for 5+ years some 25+ years and when you walk in everyone greets you and your kids by name - it's like a big family.
My child has been attending Hillcrest for two years now. We love this place. They have humane family oriented aspects like the guaranteed start date and Parent’s Night Out. They have major valued added features for us like all meals/snacks provided, updates throughout the day, better than regulation ratios, a mental health consultant on staff and just have fun family events. They also have not had classroom closures due to staffing for as long as we’ve been attending which can’t be said for a lot of centers. Everyone knows us and says hi as we walk through the center which makes us feel seen and cared for. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for stable, reliable, quality child care.
Hillcrest has been transformative for our child and family. If you are looking for a place where your child is completely loved and will thrive, this is it. My only regret is that we didn’t find Hillcrest sooner.
Hillcrest is an extension of my family. It is a place I know my kids are safe and loved. I'm so blessed to have found a caring place where each child can be there own person and grow into confident people who will make a positive difference in the world. Hillcrest offers a great food program, loving long-term staff, social emotional curriculum to support child development, and a director with a passion to see all children have a great high quality early childhood education. They also get the kids outside everyday and get to play in the dirt . My kids get to be kids here.
