Celebrate Spring with Hillview’s Spring Forward Festival

Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors, March 2025

Celebrate Spring with Hillview Nursery School! Bring your family and friends to Hillview’s Spring Forward Festival on April 6 for a day full of laughter, games and fun. Enjoy face painting, arts and crafts, a bouncy house and delicious treats — all while supporting their amazing nursery
school community. Whether you’re making memories with your little ones or connecting with friends, it’s the perfect way to welcome Spring.

Hillview Nursery School has been a staple in the Marple community for more than 60 years. Established as a school community in 1957, it is a unique non-profit preschool operated by a parent-governed Board of Directors. Its mission is to build a strong foundation and love of learning. Gina Scholz,
the current president of Hillview’s parent board, said the Spring Forward Festival is modeled after the Pumpkin Festival, which was a Hillview tradition for many decades. “This year’s fundraiser will feature a variety of activities for families to enjoy, while raising much-needed funds for classroom materials, playground and building upgrades and other programs,” Gina explained.

The event will take place at Hillview on Sunday, April 6, from 10am to 2pm (the rain date is April 13), and is open to all families in the community. Highlights include raffle baskets, a fun-filled outdoor carnival with games, face painting, and crafts and a moon bounce. Activities are geared toward pre-school age children 2-5 years old. The nursery school’s talented teachers and parents are looking forward to a lively atmosphere for all to enjoy! For more information about Hillview Nursery School, visit HillviewNurserySchool.com.
