LESLIE OLIVEIRA - DIRECTOR

The Hilmar Christian Children's Center is licensed for children from ages two years up to fourteen. We are designed to meet the needs of working parents, as well as the parents who wish their children to have some preschool experiences before attending kindergarten.

Our school is operated on a non-discriminatory policy, according equal treatment and service to all without regard to race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry. Non-ambulatory children will be accepted to our program if our program will meet their needs.

PHILOSOPHY: The development of a child is not something to be left to chance, nor to be accelerated. Children develop at different rates and in different ways, and each child is a unique individual. We shall safeguard and

promote the Christian moral and spiritual values, ensure the physical well-being and advance the social skills and academic awareness of each child in our care.
