Knee High Preschool of Hillsborough was established in January 2013. Our goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and clean environment, where children learn new activities, explore their environment and enjoy playing with peers. To achieve the combination of play and learning, Knee High Preschool uses the "The Creative Curriculum" for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. This curriculum addresses the emotional, social, and intellectual aspects for early learners. Children learn about socialization through interacting with other children where they learn to share and respect others through fun activities. We are humble when parents entrust us with the care of their most precious love ones and we strive to make Knee High, a safe, and welcoming experience for their children.
