About Us
Hillcrest is a non-profit facility. Parent involvement is welcomed and encouraged!
Our program helps a child to develop a positive self-concept. It will make the child aware of his/her ability to learn and create. It will help the child to gain an understanding of his/her strengths and limitations, and the ability to cope with both success and failure.The program aids the child in developing skills for learning and communicating, as well as, gives them exposure to many content areas (i.e. language, social skills, science, math, art, music, physical development, health and safety).
