50th Timeline

First location opens at West Village Meetinghouse with one teacher and one assistant.

Over the years a favorite playground structure, The Red House, has endured rough and tumble climbers, provided a source of endless imaginative play, and shelter for young children. The structure was built, sanded, loved, repaired, painted, moved, and rebuilt, again by members of the community and became a memory and an icon shared by generations of Hilltop students.
