Hillside Nursery School was established in 1970 for the express purpose of providing a quality Christian preschool experience for three and four year old children in Morris County. Our goal is to enable each child to grow mentally, emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically by means of a Christ-centered, positive, up-to-date and developmentally appropriate curriculum. We seek to minister to our enrolled students and also to their families.

We believe early childhood education builds a foundation for future learning by fostering positive attitudes towards school and the learning process. Children need to be involved in the educational process. This involvement enhances their own experiences and allows them to discover and develop their individual abilities and talents. Learning best takes place in a nurturing, positive and enjoyable atmosphere that takes advantage of a child's natural eagerness to explore, inquire and experiment within the framework of their appropriate developmental level. A variety of instructional approaches coupled with a strong home and school involvement is necessary to reach all types of learners. Teaching and learning should take place utilizing many different methods of instruction and incorporating different aspects of the curriculum whenever possible.
