We have been very happy with our experience here at Hillstone Academy! My daughter is in the preschool class and I love that there’s the option to do either 2 days or 3 days a week, as most preschool options for age 3-4 are only 2 days a week. She loves coming to school and we are always greeted warmly and with smiles from everyone. I also love that they have a schedule they follow daily so that the kids know what to expect and are ready for what comes next in the day.

Hillstone academy is an amazing preschool! Our son has loved it since day one! The teachers and staff are all super friendly and so good to the kiddos! Highly recommend this preschool if you are looking for one.

Hillstone Academy has been an incredible experience for our child. The staff is caring, patient, and truly invested in each child’s growth. The classrooms are clean, creative, and full of hands-on learning activities. We’ve seen so much progress in confidence, communication, and social skills with our daughter. Highly recommend!

Our daughter loves going to school and wishes she could go every day including Saturday and Sunday! Her teacher has been so amazing and really good with helping her learn. The entire staff is always friendly/happy and knows our daughter by name. We highly recommend and have multiple friends that take their kids here as well

Our family loves Hillstone Academy! The environment is safe and welcoming and the entire staff is wonderful. The Pre-K program has been a great balance of learning basic reading and writing while also incorporating simple math, problem solving and tons of hands-on learning. We couldn’t have picked a better preschool for our children and we feel confident they will be prepared for starting kindergarten next fall. Thank you to the entire staff for the love and encouragement you have shown our children.

The "Lion school" as my little one puts it , has been so warm and inviting and my little is learning so much!! Highly recommend! I absolutely love the fact that they incorporate the pledge into daily schedule too !!

Actually love it! My 3 kids have gone and I can’t recommend it enough. That reading base has helped so much in school!

We love Hillstone and I recommend them to everyone! Both my daughters have attended the school and I am so sad this is our last year attending.The teachers and staff are so loving and knowledgeable. My oldest left knowing how to read and my youngest is already learning how to read. The greatest head start to provide to your kids.

Hillstone Academy Preschool is an amazing preschool! Your kiddo will know how to read by the end of the year at a first grade level! The teachers and directors are amazing and so loving.

Great experience so far. Good teacher, my son is starting to read, loves going to school.

We LOVE Hillstone Academy for our sweet girl. She loves it too. She has progressed so much since she started going to school here. They teach the kids “You Can Manage Yourself” and I’ve watched my 3-4 year old begin doing nearly most things on her own. She feels confident and is writing her name too! This is a phenomenal place to take your growing littles. I highly recommend to everyone!

We enrolled our daughter for the school year. She went into the year not knowing the days of the week or the months of the year. It’s a couple weeks before thanksgiving and she is sings the days of the week with very little help. Staff is very friendly and class size is small.

My daughter has been coming for just a few months and has already learned so much! I wish I would’ve known of Hillstone when my son was going to preschool because my daughter is so much further ahead than he was at this age! We love Hillstone!

We love the teachers and staff here, they are all thoughtful and so patient!

This is our first year at Hillstone and so far we love it. The staff is so friendly, my daughter loves her class and loves going to school. Class sizes are smaller compared to other schools which I really like! So far A+!

my son loves going to school! he gets so sad when it’s not a “school day”! thank you hillstone for giving him the greatest experience!

My child loves going to school at Hillstone Academy! The teachers and faculty there are all so kind and create a super welcoming environment. They’re super communicative about any issues or activities that arise so it makes it super easy to stay on top of everything. It’s been a great environment for my child to start preschool as an extra nervous and clingy little one, but now she loves going and always has a great time and learns so much!

Teachers and staff are awesome, my girls love going to school!

We love Hillstone!!! Our kid loves coming here and always leaves super happy. Ms Whatcott is amazing we love her!!

Very patient and kind teachers and staff!

My son has attended Hillstone Academy for preschool & PreK and we absolutely loves it! He’s always excited to go and loves to come home to tell us all about his day! He’s learning to read this year and I’m so impressed with how quickly he is progressing. The Directors and teachers here are so invested in the kids creating a fun and safe learning experience. We will be returning with our daughter once she’s old enough to attend! We can’t say enough positive things about Hillstone Academy.

ve had 3 children go through this program and loved it! My first 2 went into kindergarten with a love of reading and my last is currently in the 5 day program and she loves reading her books. I loved the program so much that I started teaching last year when it was Learning Dynamics and followed the program into Hillstone Academy. We love this school and the community it creates in this area!

We absolutely love this school! My daughter started in August at 4 years old and has already learned all the alphabet sounds and is beginning to read simple starter books! We drive quite a ways to attend the 3 day a week program. My older daughter learned to fully read within months with the same curriculum before she started kindergarten. You won’t be disappointed!! It’s a wonderful program that cuts out all the fluff of daycare and focuses on what the kiddos are capable of learning!

My son loves going to school at Hillstone Academy. We drive from East Mesa because the reading program works and the Teachers and Directors are wonderful!

The teachers and staff at Hillstone Academy are wonderful. It is obvious that they love the children, and their first priority is encouraging the children to love to be at school and then teach them to succeed acacademic.

We Love Hillstone! My daughter has had such a fun time in class and actually LEARNS so much. She we be attending kindergarten next year and their curriculum is setting her up for what she will need to know to be successful. The Learning Dynamics reading plan is amazing. 10/10 recommend Hillstone Academy!

We love Hillstone Academy! I’ve had three kids attend, and it is wonderful. We love that it is academically focused and teaches the kids to read!

We love Hillstone Academy! Our daughter is in her second year after doing her first year of preschool with Learning Dynamics. I was so excited to hear Hillstone Academy would be taking over Learning Dynamics curriculum in Gilbert. We tried a different preschool for a few months and it was obvious that Hillstone stands out. The atmosphere is nurturing and encouraging. Our daughter has thrived with the curriculum and thoroughly enjoys being there. We know when she is at school she is safe and cared for. Both of her teachers last year and this year are exactly what we hoped for, we could not recommend Mrs. Nabrotzky and Mrs. Ligon enough. Highly recommend Hillstone Academy :)

The student to teacher ratios are my favorite for my son ! They focus on positive reinforcement learning and have a great reading program! My son’s teacher Mrs.Graves is so fun ! Highly recommend for mini 3s and preschool ! It’s especially a great school for the littles just starting out as the classes aren’t overwhelming ! Front staff is great as well! So friendly and great communication !

We love Hillstone Academy! My son is always excited to go to preschool, which is the best. We have loved every single teacher my kids have had over the years and the directors are always so loving and friendly every time we walk in to school. They know every kids’ names.I always love the Learning Dynamics songs, especially the alphabet song, the reading program and the reading books they use. They are my favorite. Even when my older son was in 1st grade I used the higher level books for his 10 min reading for his homework for months. So they can be used for a couple of years.We love the school and it sets the kids up for a great start in kindergarten. I highly recommend it.
