Hill & Dale Family Learning Center

Hill & Dale Family Learning Center is a NAEYC accredited childcare and educational facility in Santa Monica. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit and our mission is to support the working families of our community. We have been helping children, families, and educators grow for over sixty-five years. We believe in play-based Early Childhood Education, built on secure, empathetic, and nurturing relationships within a community as well as within the individual. Our two campuses in Santa Monica are open from 7:00am to 6:00pm (Infant Program hours are 7:30am-6:00pm), Monday through Friday with hot lunch and snacks provided by an on-site nutritionist. Our programs are open year round. We close for most major holidays as well as a few Professional Development days for our staff to stay current with educational research and plan curriculum. We also close for two weeks in the Winter, one week in the Spring, and one week in the Summer around the 4th of July holiday. Hill & Dale has two locations: - The Learning Center Campus in Clover Park houses our Infant and Toddler Programs as well as the My Family & Me program. - The Discovery Center Campus in the Colorado Center office park houses our Preschool program.
