We have a couple more openings in our Pre-K class. Looking for an academic preschool?? Students in pre-k need to be at least 4 years-old September 1.

Are you looking for an academically strong preschool? I was getting ready to clear this chalk board, but realized how great it is to show touring parents. At the end of our school year, the Pre-K our class read this together and many children read it independently. We have 2 openings in our Threes class and 5 openings in our second Pre-K class. Text or call 208-278-8155 for more info.

We have had several families interested in enrolling their child in our 3's class, and we would love the opportunity to welcome more little learners!

Currently, our class is at capacity for our teacher-to-child ratio. However, if we enroll 4 more students, we will hire an additional teacher and expand the class to accommodate more children.

Our 3's program provides a fun, nurturing, and engaging learning environment where children are introduced to:

🔤 Letters of the Alphabet
🔢 Numbers 1–15
🔺 Shapes
🌈 Colors
🎨 Hands-on learning activities
📖 Story time, music, and play-based learning

Our goal is to help children build confidence, develop social skills, and create a strong foundation for future learning—all while having fun!

✨ Interested in enrolling your child? Contact us today to schedule a tour or learn more about our program. Spaces will be available once we reach our enrollment goal and add a second teacher.

We look forward to meeting your family! 💕

I’m sitting here wiping away tears after finishing the notes in each of our graduates’ gift Bibles (sorry kids, spoiler alert for tomorrow 😉).

As I finished the last one, I found myself praying over each child. My prayer is that the Word of God that has been planted in their hearts this year will take root and grow deep. That they would grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus, walk in His truth, and never forget how much He loves them.

What a privilege it has been to teach these precious children—not only their letters, numbers, and reading skills, but also the life-changing truth of God’s Word.

Tomorrow we celebrate their graduation. Today, I pray for their future. ❤️📖

When Fingerprints announced they were closing, we added an additional classroom to help serve displaced families. Since then, that center has found a new location and will be reopening on a smaller scale.

At the same time, we also learned we cannot exceed 50 children in our center without a major fire alarm upgrade, so our availability is now very limited.

At this time we only have:
• 3 Infant Openings
• 8 Pre-K Openings

Openings are available as early as June 1, or beginning August 14th for families wanting our academic-year schedule.

We are thankful for how God has guided every step of this process and are excited for the opportunities ahead. ❤️

If you are interested in enrollment, please message us soon as openings are expected to fill quickly.

When we first heard that Fingerprints Child Center was closing, we were already just four openings away from being at capacity for next year. Wanting to help serve families in our community, we immediately began remodeling an additional classroom to create a new infant/toddler space.

This expansion has also allowed us to open additional spots in our 3-year-old and Pre-K classes.

Current availability:
• Infant Class — 1 opening
• Toddler Class — 2 openings
• 3-Year-Old Class — 6 openings
• Pre-K Class — 8 openings

At Hillside Preschool, we are a structured, academic preschool program with the added convenience of before and aftercare. Unlike programs where academics are only a small portion of the day, our preschool is built around a strong academic foundation, with before and aftercare available for working families.

We know many families are weighing different options for next year, and we would be honored to have you visit and see what makes our program unique.

We would love to invite you to tour our facility and see if we might be a great fit for your family. ❤️
