History
St. Paul's Hilltop Christian Nursery School was established in 1974 while Pastor Richard Porritt and his wife Jean were ministering in Torrington at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. In 2014 Hilltop became accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Around that same time, Hilltop changed their license so we could also serve Kindergarten children and 2 year olds.
Specialties
Hilltop offers high quality early education, distinctly Christian, for children ages 2-6. Classes for 2, 3 and 4 year olds are primarily part time classes for preschool children with a focus on early education. We do not offer full time child care. We also have a wonderful Pre-K and Kindergarten class for older 4 year olds and any age eligible Kindergarten children. Additionally Hilltop offers a state and federally funded class for income eligible families which runs from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
