Welcome to Hilltop Children's House

There is no timetable for children to finish their work. They may take as long or as little time as they want. And sometimes they may even take more than one day. #hilltopchildrenshouse #followthechild #montessori #montessorieducation #montessoriclassroom #montessorilearning #puzzlemap #unitedstates #steubenville #steubenvilleohio ...

In our classroom we offer many opportunities for sensory exploration of shapes, textures, colors, and much more. And we offer vocabulary with those exploration so that children are free to discuss them as well. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorieducation #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #geometicsolids #exploration #sensoryexploration #sensorial #steubenville #steubenvilleohio ...

Sometimes working with a friend is a good way to review those letters. #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorieducation #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #sandpaperletters #children #workingtogether #steubenville #steubenvilleohio ...

There are no grades in Montessori, but there are in back yards, and now we've got a plan!

A grading plan, that is.

... Sorry, I (Tom) think I tried too hard for that one....

Anyhow, our back yard right now is not conducive to outdoor Montessori activities. There's an old stump, it is very uneven, there are tree roots, and it falls away toward the alley and side street that runs alongside our property.

(We're *Hilltop* Children's House for a reason: we're in a very hilly area, and land falls away about eight feet from the front of our property to the back.)

But with this plan, we'll have two levels in the back yard, and we'll be able to make it secure with a six-foot fence.

This project is our focus of fundraising now that the heating/cooling expense has been taken care of.

So help out by getting your tickets for the raffle and sharing the raffle with others! https://go.rallyup.com/hchmardigras2021

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Our first King Cake goes to Christiana Warmerdam!

We'll have that shipped off from Joe Gambino's Bakery tomorrow!

We'll do it again four more Tuesdays before Mardi Gras, so get your tickets — or more tickets! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorieducation #catechesisofthegoodshepherd #fundrsiser #raffle #kingcake #mardigras #supporteducation #helpingchildren #give #steubenville #steubenvilleohio ...

Each year we host a Mardi Gras Gala to raise funds for our programming. But this year, with the pandemic, that’s just not possible. So, we’re hosting an online Mardi Gras raffle instead.

Each Tuesday from now until Mardi Gras we’ll draw one ticket to have a king cake shipped from New Orleans. And on Mardi Gras itself we’ll pull winners of a variety of different prizes, with a grand prize of $500!

Tickets start at just $10 and can be bought at our website (link in bio). Thank you for supporting the work of Hilltop Children’s House!

Mother Nature provided us with some great practical life activities today. Perfect way to head into Christmas break! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #montessorieducation #practicallifeskills #practicallife #snow #snowshoveling #catholicmontessori #steubenville #steubenvilleohio ...

One of the beautiful things about Montessori education is how the children interact and learn from each other. In this case one 3 year old noticed that another 3 year old wasn’t rolling her rug correctly. So, she called her over to demonstrate ❤️ #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #catholicmontessori #3yearsold #theyretoocute #steubenville #steubenvilleohio ...

When the Advent wreath falls on the floor everyone has to get in on fixing it! #hilltopchildrenshouse #montessori #montessorilearning #montessoriclassroom #cgs #catechesisofthegoodshepherd #advent #adventwreath #3candles #cooperation #steubenville #steubenvilleohio ...
