Our services.

  • NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

    The Hilltop Early Learning Center includes a nearly 3,000-square-foot health center operated by Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Any child under 18 living in the Hilltop area is able to access routine preventative care, physicals, immunizations, mental health services, and more.

    The center provides children with breakfast, lunch, and snacks during the school day. In addition, Hilltop Early Learning Center recognizes supporting the child means supporting the family. Through the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, the Hilltop Early Learning Center offers a food pantry onsite with dry goods, produce, and other home needs for anyone in the community.

  • TRUSTED PARTNERS PROVIDING QUALITY EDUCATION

    The center’s education partners – Columbus Early Learning Centers, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Child Development Council of Franklin County, Columbus City Schools, and YMCA of Central Ohio – are coming together to provide children with education and care to prepare them for kindergarten.
