Our Team
Hillside Neighborhood Academy Staff Members are dedicated professionals who guide children through their young educational journey. We provide spiritual, physical, emotional, and cognitive learning experiences. In addition, we create positive, caring relationships with our young children and their families in hopes of developing bright young minds and contributing members of our community.
At HNA we are continually working to further develop our professional skills and knowledge by attending on-campus training, conferences, college courses, professional growth advising, and working with consultants within the Early Childhood Education field.
In addition to Hillside Neighborhood Academy’s Staff continuing education, we are all trained in First Aid/CPR, fire and earthquake preparedness, lockdown procedures, and Procare Communication. Staff qualifications include California Child Development Permits, quarterly ECE units, A.A., B.A., and Master’s education.
