Before & AfterCare

HOME > Programs > Before & AfterCare

Hilltop Montessori School supports working families by providing BeforeCare and AfterCare to extend the day for Toddler through Upper Elementary students. The programs allow for freedom of choice for activities and are geared to the ages and interests of the children participating. We are excited to further support economic diversity and expand our Index Tuition Program to include Before and AfterCare. We are offering Before and AfterCare at an indexed rate, for those who have applied through SSS and have qualified for an Indexed Tuition of 75%, 50%, or 25%. This means that if you have applied for and received need-based Indexed Tuition you will also be billed for any Before and AfterCare that your student uses at your indexed rate! All students must be enrolled in advance. Drop-ins are limited and must be cleared through the front office by calling 802-257-0500 ext 102 or email, [email protected] to confirm there is room.

Middle School – Prior arrangements and consent with the Middle School teachers. Middle School students are welcome to begin their day as early as 7:30 a.m. and extend it as late as 5 p.m.
