Why Families Choose Clinton Hill

 

At Clinton Hill, children thrive in an environment where they feel safe, supported, and confident. We maintain low child-to-adult ratios, ensuring every child receives individualized attention. Our classrooms are led by credentialed and certified teachers who are passionate about early childhood development and committed to helping each child reach their full potential.

 

We use a play-based, child-centered curriculum that encourages curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning. Children are given the freedom to explore, investigate, ask questions, and document their discoveries building critical thinking and problem-solving skills from an early age.

 

Supporting the Whole Child

 

Social-emotional development is woven throughout our daily activities. We help children:

• Build healthy relationships with peers

• Develop self-confidence and independence

• Learn emotional awareness and self-regulation

• Practice kindness, communication, and cooperation

 

Our goal is to ensure children leave Clinton Hill not only academically prepared, but emotionally resilient and socially confident.

 

A Partnership with Families

 

We believe families are a child’s first teachers. Our commitment to quality extends beyond the classroom and into the home. We provide multiple opportunities for families to be engaged, empowered, and included, including volunteering, advocacy, and leadership roles within our programs. We welcome and encourage moms, dads, grandparents, and extended family members to be active partners in their child’s learning journey.
