School-Age Summer Program at Hilltop
Another summer is coming upon us and 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, the greater Seattle community, and the natural world, expressing our ideas with a wide array of creative mediums. A fun-filled, enriching and memorable summer together is in store for the children and their families.
Due to busy family schedules we offer a flexible way to sign up for our program. You have the option to sign-up for the whole summer, a full month, or by the week. We think that children’s experiences are greatly enhanced by developing and deepening relationships with their friends and teachers over a period of time, and encourage you to contemplate consecutive weeks at Hilltop. However you decide to arrange your child’s summer, we’re confident that their experiences at Hilltop will be memorable. Alumni and new families are welcome to enroll in Summer Care!

Most children begin at Hilltop in September. We generally have openings at the beginning of summer as well. Openings during the school year are rare, but do occur. Once we feel that we may have a spot available for your child, we will invite you to visit a classroom. This first visit is generally for parents and guardians only, to allow you to ask more questions and determine if Hilltop seems like a good match for your child. As we get closer to a start date, your child will be invited for a visit too, so that we can determine which classroom will be the best fit.
