About Hillside Preschool, UA

Founded in October 1977 by Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church (SHLC), Hillside began as a ministry supporting both church families and the wider community. Today, Hillside Preschool, UA operates as an independent unincorporated association, distinct from SHLC. Classes are held on the SHLC campus and a strong, collaborative relationship between Hillside and SHLC continues today.
