Learning is an essential part of each child's day and the opportunity to enjoy reading before kindergarten is a plus. Good positive character skills are just as important within the core of learning which when developed promotes healthy relationships and Emerald Cove believes in the "power" of caring for others. Emerald Cove offers a core curriculum designed to offer each child the opportunity to grow and develop while harnessing their inner potential.

Do NOT send your children here. The teachers are great, but the assistant Director is a liar (the…read moredirector confirmed this). The director and owner change and make up policies at their connivence, and are very unprofessional.

We do not recommend this place. The summer programs are way too expensive. The teachers are rude…read moreand disrespectful. They don't try to talk to you as a teacher to a parent, no they think it's okay to come at you sideways. I work myself to the bone to pay for childcare, which helps pay their paycheck. They forget that part. They wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for the parents. The prices are continuing to get way too expensive. They are still going up constantly but yet the service is still declining.

I can't say enough good things about Hillside. This school has become an extension of our family…read more The level of skill and passion these teachers and staff have for Montessori education is amazing to watch. We have had one child there from 18 months through Lower Primary, and our second child starts in a few weeks. The value of sending our children here instead of to a daycare has been huge. Watching friends who live other places and don't have a Montessori option send their kids to daycare where they pay more money for a bare minimum level of childcare has been eye opening. At Hillside, we always know our kids are safe, cared for, happy, and learning. When our son was 2 years old, he came home singing a song that we couldn't quite understand the words to. That night at bedtime, he pointed to a map and said "That's North America!" That was when we realized he had been singing the continents song all afternoon. He has grown in practical skills (helping us with dinner every night), creative ability (he loves painting and drawing), and emotional maturity (helping with his little sister because he is used to "being a leader" in the classroom at school). I don't write reviews often, but Hillside deserves more than five stars.
