Welcome to Hillside Neighborhood Academy. Preschool and childcare for San Jose, CA. (Formally Hillside Preschool.)
HNA PROGRAMS
With faith at the center and curiosity as the guide, children grow in confidence, creativity, and a love for learning that will carry them far beyond our walls.
3 Year Olds
At HNA, our preschool program for three-year-olds is where independence begins to bloom. Through hands-on exploration, creative play, and gentle guidance, children build early foundations in math, pre-writing, music, movement, and art — all within a warm, faith-centered environment where every child is known by name and loved by heart. This is where little ones take their first confident steps toward a lifelong love of learning.
2 Year Olds
At HNA, our preschoolers learn through play, exploration, and joyful discovery. Each day brings opportunities to build early skills in math, pre-writing, music, movement, storytelling, and art — all within a warm, faith-centered environment designed for two-year-olds. With loving, attentive teachers guiding every step, this is where little ones feel safe to explore, begin to find their voice, and take their very first steps toward a lifetime of learning.
4 Year Olds
At HNA, our preschool program for four-year-olds is where curiosity truly takes flight. Each day is rich with opportunity — deepening skills in math, pre-writing, music, movement, storytelling, and art while building the confidence, creativity, and character children need as they prepare for kindergarten and beyond. In our warm, faith-centered classrooms, every child is encouraged to think boldly, grow deeply, and shine brightly.
