Families with two or more children enrolled from the same household receive a 5% sibling discount. The discount is applied to the lowest tuition rate.

Tuition includes two snacks each day provided by Hilltop School. Children bring their own lunch.

 Child Care Affordability Program (CCAP)

Hilltop School accepts the Child Care Affordability Program (CCAP); however, CCAP enrollment is limited within our center. We reserve the right to temporarily stop accepting new CCAP enrollments when all available CCAP spaces are filled. Families should check about available CCAP slots prior to applying. 

For families enrolled using CCAP, Hilltop School must have documentation of the family's current award on file. All required parent fees must be paid in accordance with Hilltop School's tuition policies and applicable DHHS requirements.

Hilltop School accepts TANF/ASPIRE childcare subsidies. Families participating in this program are responsible for paying the difference between the amount paid by TANF/ASPIRE and Hilltop School's applicable full-time tuition rate.

Documentation verifying the family's award, eligibility, and effective start date must be provided prior to enrollment.

Hilltop School accepts Child Care Aware® of America Military Fee Assistance for eligible military and Department of Defense families.

Eligibility and fee assistance amounts are determined by Child Care Aware of America and may vary based on the family's individual circumstances and applicable program requirements. Child Care Aware pays an approved portion of the family's childcare costs directly to Hilltop School, and the family is responsible for paying any remaining tuition balance or required parent portion.

Families wishing to use Child Care Aware Military Fee Assistance must provide all required eligibility and approval documentation. Hilltop School must receive confirmation of the approved assistance, including the approved amount and effective dates, in order for the assistance to be applied to the family's account.

Families are responsible for any tuition or fees not covered by Child Care Aware and for maintaining their eligibility and current authorization throughout enrollment.

For additional information regarding eligibility or to apply for Military Fee Assistance, families should contact Child Care Aware of America directly.

At this time, Hilltop School does not participate in other childcare assistance or subsidy programs.

Families who need documentation for a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or employer reimbursement program can download monthly statements directly through our communication app.
