Hiland Child Care Center

Tim K. – Hiland Child Care is a family to us. My wife and I have had a child at Hiland for over twenty years! We remember how at the time our first was born some people still placed a stigma on having someone else “raise” your child while you worked. That thought seems laughable now! …Our kids actually hate to leave Hiland at the end of most days. Our children have many friends at Hiland and included among them are teachers and caregivers of many years. We know that long after our kids have grown and left Hiland, they will have friends who will gladly help them when life calls on them to help.

Roslynn F. – My daughter came to Hiland as an eight week old infant. She is now twelve, leaving the Center, I like to think as graduating. As you may imagine, we both had our bouts of separation anxiety; she much less than I, thanks to the staff. HCCC has been for my daughter a second home, a safe-haven populated with folks, young and old, who have come to care deeply for her. She made friends of all ages, looked up to some, mentored others, and won hearts of caring adults with whom I know she’ll stay in touch for years to come. For me, Hiland Child Care has been a god-send. Although nothing can ever completely eliminate maternal worries, HCCC has given me the greatest gift a mother can receive- peace of mind, knowing that her child is being cared for in a loving, Christian environment by people who truly care. For that , I will be ever grateful.

Donna H.-My experience with Hiland Child Care has been really good over the past 4 years. The center transitions the children from one room to the next in order for them to get used to a new classroom which I found to be very helpful. My child surprises me every day with the knowledge that she obtains there. I found that the center is not just a place to watch your children, but they teach them and interact with them as well. Not only has my child learned so much over the past 4 years, but the staff seems to really care about my child’s wellbeing. They keep me informed of how well my child progresses. The center has very well kept grounds that enables the children to play outside on the playground, take walks, and occasionally have sprinkler day. Hiland has convenient hours and offers transportation for school aged children to local schools in the area which will become very helpful to me in the future.

Kate F. – According to the dictionary, to support is to provide a basis for the existence or subsistence of someone or something. I think that really explains my experience at Hiland. Here are some fun facts…I’ve known my own Mother only 8 weeks longer than some of the teachers at Hiland . I would get hugs every morning from a teacher to start off her day. And every time I would have a problem, a teacher would notice and help me out with whatever it was that was bothering me. Now that is some serious support! I have calculated something interesting. For about five hundred dollars a month, twelve months a year, I have gotten probably around 68,000 hugs, long lasting friends, teachers turned into family, and a support system that I will always be able to fall back on. I have had a chance to stand on a stage and sing and dance( my love of music was acquired there at an early age) and become a “buddy” to a 3 year-old. Tears have been shed, jokes have been shared, and all along my friends from Hiland remain loyal….Support. That’s all that can really explain everything I have experienced. As I looked back on the sad faces my last day, I knew that this was not the end. It was merely the beginning.

Corinne D.- It is very difficult for us to say goodbye. We have found great comfort knowing that our children have been in the care of such wonderful and caring individuals each day, and our entire family will miss you all so much!
