Hillel Day School has not only been our child's school but a second home where he is excited to go each day to play and learn. As a family, we feel safe knowing a superiorly qualified and loving community of teachers and staff surrounds our child each day. Hillel, specifically the ECC, has been an excellent choice for us these past few years as we've been able to watch our child grow developmentally and socially - both in English and Hebrew, which is pretty cool!

Both of my children are in the Early Childhood Center at Hillel and we never want to leave! I always expected to send my kids to public school after preschool, but I have fallen in love with the exceptional community at Hillel. The teachers and administration love what they do and go above and beyond. I have watched my child grow and learn so much and truly thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. The school also prioritizes safety and security, which is very important to our family. I would highly recommend Hillel to any family looking for an incredible educational institution that also helps kids become kind, responsible individuals.

Our 4 children attend Hillel ECC-8th grade and we couldn`t be happier. We didn`t plan on private school but the personal attention, close community and many benefits to our children are amazing. They love attending every day! Even our 7th grader loves school. Hillel is helping us raise self motivated, deep thinking, kind, caring Mensches. Financial aid is abundant. Check it out. Each year is a gift to our children.

Both my girls attend Hillel. We have been extremely happy with the innovative approach to teaching. Both of them have been challenged and supported in their classes. The teachers are caring, motivating and understand where my kids need to be challenged or supported. Highly recommend Hillel.
