Vision Statement

Spring Hill School is a top-quality preschool providing early education for children in the Mad River Valley and surrounding communities. Spring Hill is a creative and nurturing learning community for children, parents, and teachers. 

Spring Hill School strives to be a high-quality preschool providing early education for children in the Mad River Valley and surrounding communities. Spring Hill is a creative and nurturing learning community for children, families, and teachers.

We believe that the SHS philosophy continues to be inspired by and grounded in the Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education.

We believe that the SHS Scholarship program should continue to grow and be utilized.

We believe that the quality of the school depends upon the quality of the teachers. We commit to sustainably increasing teacher compensation. 

We believe SHS should extend offerings to the greater community of families in the Mad River Valley and beyond by organizing and/or sponsoring one or more educational, supportive events for families and one or more fun-filled, participatory events for children and families, annually.

We believe that SHS prides itself in becoming a learning resource for the greater teaching community.
