Our High Quality Early Learning Programs are reflected in the professional development of our staff, which is based upon NAEYC’s developmentally appropriate practices, positive relationships among children and adults, curriculum that reflects the community, above standard health & safety policies, and sensitivity to the diversity of our families.  Above all they create opportunities for wonder, curiosity, joy and possibilities...

    Our Early Learning Environments are communities that reflect the individuality of the children, families and staff.  Each center creates a safe, healthy, nurturing place where everyone is respected and valued.  The philosophies of Reggio Emilia inspire us to view “the role of the environment-as-teacher”. Careful attention is paid to the beauty of the surroundings and the daily awakening of a sense of curiosity, wonder and discovery in our indoor and outdoor learning spaces. Teachers organize environments rich in possibilities and provocations that invite children and adults to explore, imagine, ask questions and problem solve.
    Our Early Learning Curriculum provides opportunities for children to grow socially, physically, intellectually, creatively and emotionally. Lifelong skills of problem-solving, divergent thinking and conflict resolution are practiced daily within the context of real and relevant learning experiences based upon play, relationships and discovery. 

    HLC has selected The Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, & Twos and The Creative Curriculum for Preschool. This curriculum provides a framework that is based upon sound theory and research in early learning, knowledge of child development, the role of the teacher, partnering with families, what children learn and creating responsive learning environments.
    The Infant & Toddler Program is based upon the care giving relationship and routines. Infants and toddlers are learning who they are and what they are capable of in each the small moments spent with nurturing adults. Creative Curriculum helps teachers achieve the very best program for children under three.  Teachers plan experiences that are appropriately challenging and supporting growth and development as infants, ones and twos learn about themselves and others, learn about moving, learn about their world and learn about communicating.
    The Preschool Program specifies the literacy, math, science, social studies, art and technology to be taught, crosswalked with published standards. For young children, meaningful and lifelong learning requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work. This is best accomplished through purposeful play facilitated by highly intentional teaching practices.
    The Kindergarten Program is licensed by the Department of Education and is offered in a limited number of our early learning centers.

    The research is clear - if young people are to succeed as adults, they must succeed in school.  After school programs increase young people’s engagement in school learning through activities directly linked to school goals as well as the promotion of a broad range of skills that children

    Adult Day Services are designed to meet the daytime needs of older adults in a warm, home-like environment.  Operating Monday through Friday, the program strives to make each day enjoyable for all participants by providing a wide range of interesting and stimulating activities. With a staff that includes activity leaders, a social worker, a nurse, and nursing assistants, the center is able to serve a wide variety of client needs.

    A unique aspect of the adult day services programs offered by Hildebrandt is partnership with our early learning centers.  By having the child and adult centers share the same building or within close proximity, young children and geriatric adults can interact on a consistent basis. This arrangement is a “win-win” scenario for both the children and the adults. The children develop a positive understanding of aging and respect for the many experiences that seniors can share with them, and the elderly, who often feel isolated from the larger community, regain a sense of involvement as they interact with the children.
