Family Partnership

Home & School, Together

You know your child best, and the best outcomes happen when home and school work as one team. Here's how we keep you close to your child's day and part of every decision that matters.

Your Child's Day, Delivered

Working parents miss enough already, so we make sure the school day isn't a mystery. Daily reports follow your child from meals and naps to activities and moods, and the moments worth smiling about come along with them. By pickup, you're not asking “how was your day?” cold, you already have the outline, and your child's teacher can fill in the color.

We're Listening

Questions & Feedback are Welcome Here

Maybe it's a feeding question, a worry about biting, or just a feeling that something's off this week. Start with your child's teacher, they know your child best day to day, and your school's director is glad to talk whenever you want to go deeper. Concerns raised early are concerns solved early, and no question about your own child is ever too small.

One Team

What Partnership Looks Like

The Everyday Loop

Tell us how the night went; we’ll tell you how the day is going. Small exchanges at drop-off and pickup keep both sides of your child’s world in sync, and children feel the difference when the grown-ups are on the same page.

In It Together

Potty training, moving up a classroom, a new sibling at home, whatever your family is navigating, transitions go smoother when school and home use the same approach. Tell your child’s teacher what’s happening, and we’ll work through it together.

Celebrating Every Win

First steps at school, a breakthrough at the lunch table, a kind moment on the playground, when something wonderful happens, you’ll hear about it, and we love hearing your wins from home too. Children thrive when both their worlds are cheering.

An Open Door

Questions, feedback, or plain curiosity about your child’s day, bring them all. You’ll get real answers from the people who know your child best, and asking is always welcome here.

In Your Pocket

Your Window Into the Day

Our schools use the Procare Engage app to bring your child’s day to your phone. Daily reports and photos arrive as the day unfolds, meals, naps, activities, and diaper changes for the littlest ones, so a quick glance between meetings shows you a smiling face and tells you everything is okay. It’s also how the everyday logistics stay easy: updates from your school land in one place instead of a crumpled note in a backpack, and you have a direct line to your child’s school whenever you need it. Download it at enrollment, and by the end of the first week you’ll wonder how parents ever managed without it.

How to Choose a School

Choosing care is a big decision. Here's how families usually find their fit.

Identify What Matters Most

Start with your family's needs: location, hours, ages, and the feel you want when you walk in the door. Knowing your priorities makes every other step easier.

Learn about the School

Explore programs, meet the director, and ask your questions, from daily routines to how teachers communicate. Good schools love the questions; they mean you care.

Come See It for Yourself

Nothing beats a visit. Schedule a tour, watch the classrooms in action, and trust what you see and feel. That gut feeling at drop-off matters.

Why Our Families Trust Us

"My child looks forward to school everyday! His teachers are attentive & plan fun activities he loves. They’re also diligent on keeping us informed on the app throughout the day. Highly recommend."

"While we haven’t been at the school very long, we have been made to feel like family since day one! The teachers in infant room A are the best and I can’t express my gratitude enough for caring for my sweet baby. Also a shout out to the director, Ashley. She has made bringing my baby to daycare a worry free process."

"Ashley, and the rest of the staff/teachers/care givers are warm, patient, friendly, compassionate, and are always smiling. This is our first experience with Hobbit Hill and with daycare. We are the parents of three children and our youngest attends due to our ever changing work schedules. Our son was welcomed with open arms and has fallen right into the routine of going to “school” like his older siblings and loves the playing, learning, and interaction with his teachers and fellow friends in his class. He is always so happy to see us at the end of the day and is excited to go back each morning he attends. It has become such a good balance for us as a family and we are grateful to know our son is cared for, safe, learning, and having fun. You can tell that there are teachers working there and that is an irreplaceable feeling as a parent."

"Before coming to shell point, our son struggled so much at drop off. He just never wanted to go, and as parents that was very heartbreaking. Shell point quickly changed that! He waives bye and starts his morning routine with Mrs. Mary. He comes home and signs songs that he’s learned at school. His speech has improved so much even his therapist are surprised! As a parent I appreciate the app updates and pictures. Almost every day there are pictures posted of my son laughing and playing with friends. It puts my mind and heart at ease seeing him being so well taken care of even while away from us."

"Both of my children, Lilla and Brooks went to Hobbit Hill from infancy until they were 4 years old. I can’t say enough about the ladies that cared for my children. They loved both of my babies as if they were their own. My children came out of Hobbit Hill with the academic foundations they needed to have them prepared to be successful in pre-k. They also had the social skills to be successful in a school setting. I miss seeing the ladies each day. My son still talks about Ms. Angie and Ms. Asia even though he is no longer at Hobbit Hill. I will always recommend people to Hobbit Hill. Hobbit Hill will always hold a special place in my heart! We love Hobbit Hill!"

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

How do we stay consistent between home and school?

Tell your child's teacher what you're working on, sleep, potty training, behavior, anything, and we'll align our approach with yours. Children thrive when both worlds play by the same rules.

How should I share something hard happening at home?

A move, a new baby, a separation, an illness in the family, children carry what's happening at home into their day, and knowing helps us support them through it. Share as much or as little as you're comfortable with, with the teacher or director, and it will be handled with care and discretion.

My schedule makes drop-off and pickup rushed. How do I stay connected?

That's exactly what the Procare Engage app is for: daily reports and photos come to you during the day, no matter what your calendar looks like. When you want a real conversation, tell your child's teacher and you'll find a time that works, connection doesn't have to happen in the doorway.

My child can't talk yet. How will I know how they're really doing?

Every parent of a baby or toddler knows that ache: hours of their little one's day, and no way to hear about it from them. So we tell the story for them. Daily reports and photos in the Procare Engage app show you how they ate, slept, and played, and their teachers fill in the parts an app can't capture, the almost-crawl, the belly laugh, the new friend at the sensory table. Until your child can tell you about their day, we make sure the story still gets home.
