Hillcrest Academy

We have been with Hillcrest from the infant room to pre k prep and we absolutely love it! The entire staff is amazing. My daughter has loved each and every one of her teachers in her experience. Amy, Danielle, and staff always go above and beyond for the kids and it’s truly appreciated!

Choosing a daycare was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make as parents, and after touring so many local options, Hillcrest Academy in Bayville stood out instantly. Their safety measures gave us peace of mind, but what really won us over was how warm, loving, and genuine the staff is. They truly care about the whole child, both their emotional well-being and their learning.

We’ve been at Hillcrest for over a year now, and our daughter has gone through several classrooms. Every single teacher has been amazing. We’ve watched her grow in ways we never expected—she’s more social, confident, and curious, and she talks about her teachers nonstop. She even begs to go to school on the weekends.

Hillcrest has become so much more than a daycare for us. The staff feels like a second family, and I can’t imagine dropping my daughter off anywhere else. We’re so grateful for the love and care they show her every day.

Hillcrest Academy has been such a blessing for our family. From the moment we walked in, I knew it was the right place for my daughters. The teachers are kind, nurturing, and truly invested in each child’s growth. Every day my daughters come home excited, sharing new songs, skills, and stories. The staff communicate so well and create such a welcoming environment. It’s clear they love what they do and it shows in how happy and confident the children are. I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Hillcrest Academy!

There are so many wonderful things about Hillcrest Academy. I have been sending my son to Hillcrest since he was one and now he is finishing up his last year there in Pre-K. The staff are warm, welcoming and absolutely wonderful. The director and assistant director know every child, every parent and treat everyone as if they are part of a great big family. My son has flourished under their care and I am so grateful to have found them.

We have had experience with a few childcare facilities in this area and Hillcrest Academy is by far the best around. Amy and Danielle are very welcoming every day we bring our children in. They have gone above and beyond and worked with our son to break a habit. We are so grateful

Everyone on staff is friendly, caring, and compassionate. It impresses my husband and I to see that everyone knows all 3 of my children by name, even if they are not their teachers. If you are looking for childcare and have the opportunity to become a part of the Hillcrest family, I would highly recommend Hillcrest Academy.
