Hillside Montessori School's philosophy of education is one of respect for others and the environment.
We offer an individualized program of learning so that each child learns at his or her own pace.
We encourage cooperation instead of competition. We endeavor to be partners with you in the education and care of your child and look forward to having your child at Hillside Mntessori School.
We encourage you to be involved in your child's early learning experiences by setting up classroom observations and participating in parent nights and parent/teacher conferences.
