Step into Harvest Hills Day Care center and you can't help but feel the fun! You'll see smiling kids playing stimulating games, reading and sharing, creating and building. You'll see fun with sand and songs, brushes and books, puzzles and paint, and more. This may look like just fun and games, but you're seeing something else as well—learning. Studies have found that children are more likely to retain information learned when they are engaged in enjoyable and meaningful activities. And that's just what we do at Harvest Hills Day Care.
The skills and knowledge children acquire today play a major role in determining who they'll be tomorrow. That's why choosing a daycare provider is one of the most important decisions you can make. We understand the significance of your choice and offer you the information and resources on this site to help you make an informed, confident, daycare decision.

Harvest Hills Day Care is committed to providing quality in child care. Our staff of caring, well-trained and experienced professionals maintain a well-organized environment responsive to your child's needs.

OUR GOAL

As caregivers we have a unique privilege to provide children with quality experiences during the early stages of their lives.  It is important then to provide a supportive, nurturing setting in which each child is treated as an individual with his or her own strengths, needs, and unique characteristics. 

Harvest Hills Day Care is a Christian based child care facility.  We incorporate these values into the daily routine.  We believe that the parent’s position and relationship with their child is the greatest influence in the life of their child and support their role by providing a nurturing environment where their child is provided with the opportunity to feel effective, experience success, and to gain a positive self-concept.

We are committed to providing quality child care in a safe and fun learning environment.  Our goal is to capture the interest of children and to create a fun and loving place in which children can make discoveries, solve problems, develop social skills and gain confidence in their abilities.
