An Unexpected (and sad!) Ending to the Year
Our in-person sessions ended early due to the pandemic this year, but we did what we could to help the children and their parents have plenty of Montessori-based exercises and experiences to do at home.
Learning Multiplication and Division

These printable resources can help you mimic the wooden materials we use in our classroom so that hands-on learning can more easily be achieved at home with nothing more than a…
Going On A Bear Hunt

Our Children’s House and Atrium, Year Two
In the weeks leading up to the beginning of our second year we worked feverishly to get the room prepared for the kids. We had hoped to have the new windows installed before classes began. That was not to be, but it could happen during the school year. We would like to thank especially some…
Photos from Our First Year
This first year has been one of constant growth. More children joined as the year progressed, and through the generosity of so many supporters we have acquired many, many more materials. We still have a couple of months to go in this first year, but here are some looks at what’s been happening at Hilltop…
