Mission Statement

FRIENDS OF HILLSIDE: A multi-generational group of people dedicated to support and enrichment of early childhood education at Hillside, a high-quality early childhood center in Southeast Austin, operating in a childcare desert and exceeding expectations.  We will raise funds and awareness while sharing of our time, talent and treasure to enrich and alleviate the pressures of operating a year-round, full-day school taking babies from 6 weeks old and graduating students who are ready for school and life.

Why Hillside?  Hillside Early Childhood Center -in a short 6 years of existence, they survived the pandemic which shuttered many daycares, they are award-winning and acknowledged as best in class, and have 20% of students on scholarship, they are in a childcare desert.  Hillside currently has 90 students (with 175 families on the waitlist), and has future potential to grow to 120 student capacity.
