We have an outstanding early childhood education program at Hancock Place free to district residents and also reasonable tuition rates for non residents. Our children receive breakfast, snacks, and lunch at no charge. Instruction is mainly provided through centers, play based, cooperative learning, and Conscious Discipline. We have top notch facilities, technology, curriculum, playground, gym, and most importantly, a supportive and well professionally trained staff!
We have before care starting at 7am and after care until 5:30pm, those times are not extendable.
We can set up a tour if you are interested.
Many of our teachers and other staff pay tuition for their children to attend. We also have several non resident families paying tuition because of our program’s quality and rates.

Hello Tiger Family!
Friday, February 17th, HPHS's National Honor Society is sponsoring our second Parents' Night Out event. This event will raise funds to enable our NHS chapter to participate in new projects and sponsor other events for the community in the future.
Parents Night Out will take place in the 1st-floor wing of Hancock Place High School (229 W. Ripa Ave). Drop-off and Pick-up will take in the teacher's lot off Clyde Rd at the back of the High School building. You will see signs on the doors and a registration table.
The cost for the event is $20, which will cover four hours of babysitting for up to two children If you have more than two children, we will charge an additional $5 for each child. Drop-Off for children will begin at 5:00 PM and parents can pick up their children any time before 9:00 PM.
The event is available for any children in Pre-K-5th grade. All kiddos must be potty trained. Kiddos will be grouped by age and take turns in many activities including making crafts, playing games, a music/dance party, cookie decorating and making waffles for a breakfast-for-dinner.
Each room will be staffed by three NHS student volunteers (the NHS members have been CPR certified as an added safety measure.
If interested in registering for this event, please click this link. We are excited and look forward to having a fun and successful evening entertaining your children while you get a night out. If you have any questions you can email the NHS Sponsor, Brooke Barfield @ bbarfield@hpsd.school.
