Accreditation
Hiland Child Care Center was one of the first centers in the North Hills Area to receive NAEYC Accreditation. This was an accomplishment that was achieved in June of 1991 and one we will strive to continue to maintain. Hiland supports the definition and criteria that comprise the high quality standards that NAEYC set forth for Early Childhood programs.

Hiland was also one of the only school age programs in the area to obtain Accreditation from the National School Age Program. This was accomplished in February of 2005.
Hiland also supports the Pennsylvania Keystone Star Program. All of these accomplishments have been achieved by having a supportive Board of Directors, a committed and professional staff and supportive families. We emphasize the importance of on going professional development, employee benefits, communication with families, assessment and support of children and a happy, healthy, safe environment.

North Hills Child Care Coalition
Hiland has been an active member in the Coalition since its inception back in 1986. The Coalition is a group of Directors from different child care centers in the area. The purpose of the group is for lending support to others, providing on going professional training, discussing child care issues and quality care.

Early Childhood Roundtable
Hiland also participates in seasonal roundtable discussions with the North Hills School District. These discussions/trainings help to build a sense of collaboration and cooperation between the school district and the child care center. These meetings are at West View Elementary and help us to prepare our children for entering into the school system.
