The Hilltop Child Care staff attempts to help families work toward meeting the physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs of their children. Staff seeks to assist and support families in their task of helping their children grow into healthy and productive adults.

Hilltop provides child care and preschool for families who live or work in its general neighborhood as well as for others throughout Porter County. It offers child care from 6:30AM until 6:30PM, Monday through Friday. Preschool enrichment sessions for ages 3-5 are offered Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 8:30-12:30.

Hilltop is committed to offering quality services at a cost that is affordable for each family. In the case of families that cannot afford market rates, Hilltop will make every effort to find resources through State vouchers or its own scholarship program. No child is ever turned away because of a lack of financial resources. The Director of the Child Care will discuss fees with interested applicants.
