Hill and Dale School offers traditional school programs for children ages 2 through 5. Our Preschool is located in Spring Lake Heights, while our full day Kindergarten is provided at our Manasquan location.

Our philosophy is based on the fact that play is the primary way a child learns. Children are young only once, during which play time is their "work." At Hill and Dale we contribute to the child's learning process by offering language experiences, opportunities for creative expression, science and discovery, and music and movement.

Children engage in self directed play and teacher directed projects, circle time, books and music. Time is set aside for large motor play inside and outside on our playground. Snacks are provided by the school. In addition, special programs and field trips are scheduled throughout the year.
