    If it seems warm when you walk into Hilltop Nursery School and Daycare, it has nothing to do with the heating system.

    Hilltop Nursery School and Daycare Center is a state licensed facility offering year-round nursery school and daycare services to children ages 6 weeks through Kindergarten. Before- and After-school care and school vacation programs are available for children in Grades 1 and 2.

    Parents are always welcome! We encourage visits by parents at the center at any time. For more information, please call us at 860-635-4032.

    • Program Focus

    While Hilltop gladly welcomes children regardless of religious background, as a ministry of Hilltop Covenant Church, we are a Christian program. Through both our curriculum and by example, we strive to communicate to each child that he or she is uniquely created and loved by God. In addition, through stories from the Bible, we stress the importance of being thankful for all we have, treating ourselves and others with respect, and recognizing that the world around us belongs to God and should be treated with respect.
