Welcome to the Hilltop Community!

School-Age Childcare, After-School & School Closures Program at Hilltop
If your child attends Seattle Public Schools (SPS) in the Queen Anne and Magnolia Elementary Schools, SPS will bring your child to Hilltop for after-school care. We still have room for your child (in Kindergarten through 3rd grade, 5-10 years of age) in our Big Kids After-School Program either 3 or 5 afternoons per week until 6:15 PM. Your child will also be here full days (8AM - 6:15) for the 19 days of this coming school year that SPS is closed. Please contact our Registrar regarding your interest in this program.

In Gratitude
Thank you to the community of supporters, volunteers, donors, and guests of Hilltop’s 9th Experience Project. The auction and the many hours of volunteer effort raised over $66,000! These funds support initiatives that tuition alone does not cover, specifically the professional development program and the team teaching approach. This year, the Hilltop village gave generously over $26,000 to the Siri Mayo Scholarship Fund and the Playyard Improvement Project!

Upcoming Tours

- Thursday, Mar 15th @ 10 am
- Tuesday, Apr 17th @ 10 am

Tours tend to be 60-75 minutes or longer, depending on the number of questions. The tours are for adults, in consideration of the length and design of the tour. Babes in arms have joined us from time to time. Tours are not currently on the weekends or evenings, as we think it is important for prospective families to see the children and teachers in action. Individual tours requests can be taken and are honored to the best of our availability.
School-Age Summer Program at Hilltop
We still have room for your child, we look forward to getting to spend full days with your child in our School-Age Summer Program. Summer “Big Kids” is a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understandings of ourselves and our community as we further our relationships with each other… learn more.
Playground Remodel
Thank you to the many volunteers and donors who made the first phase of the playground better than expected! The space is doubled; with greater capacity, relationships are growing: between classroom and with nature. This dream was possible due to the incredible generosity of Krekow Jennings, Planting Deisgn, Lund Masonry, and was shepherded by master designer, Rosa Folla of Arke’ Design Studios.
