Hilltop’s 40-week school year begins the Tuesday after Labor Day and ends the first week of June. The preschool is closed during Kalamazoo Public Schools’ winter break and on selected legal and religious holidays. Students in both preschool and Wraparound may use their scheduled plan hours to attend Hilltop during spring break at no extra charge.

Teachers recognize children's varying degrees of ability, emotional independence, and social maturity; therefore ages listed next to programs are merely a guideline in determining program placement. Hilltop is licensed to serve children from the age 2 years, 9 months to 6 six.

Tuition shall be prorated for a child enrolling after the school year has begun.

Once enrolled, the obligation to pay according to the Rate Sheet is unconditional and not subject to reduction, proration, or setoff because of a child’s absence or the parent’s decision to withdraw a child or children from Hilltop Preschool. All students are enrolled for the entire school year, unless it is expressly agreed to the contrary in writing.

If there are any serious problems with a child’s ability to function adequately in the preschool program, the teacher will consult the Director, and, if necessary, recommend withdrawal of the child from the school. A tuition refund will be prorated from the date of withdrawal.

We offer many opportunities for parent involvement from assisting in the classroom and on field trips, organizing special events, helping teachers prepare activities, to having a voice at meetings. Parents are welcome to drop in any time. Visitors are kindly requested to call in advance for an appointment.
