About Us
Welcome to Heavenly Harvest! Where children are our focus, families are our partners and community is essential. It’s our mission to provide a caring and supportive environment to grow strong, kind, and courageous children of God. We believe in responsibility, kindness, respect and having as much fun as we can!
But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
Heavenly Harvest offers a God-centered atmosphere of learning and provides enriching experiences that help every child embrace spiritual, emotional, physical and cognitive growth. We value the partnership with our families in nurturing and guiding the development of the whole child for a strong continuation of learning from school to home.
​
Heavenly Harvest promotes an environment that will, developmentally, cultivate learning with activities that are multidisciplinary and comprehensive to each child. We encourage our children, infant through preschool, to expand their skills using playful exploration and routine consistency. When children leave us, they will be fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.
​
We can’t wait to watch the next generation grow!

In The Classroom
Our teachers implement a wide array of activities and practices that foster a child’s opportunity for learning in an early childhood education setting that feels like home.
Art, music, movement, dramatic play, science, math, literacy, sensory, and motor play are integrated into each classroom in a developmentally appropriate manner for each age level. We also use a curriculum for our children’s ministry to provide thematic learning opportunities that teach children the foundation of the bible and scripture. The most important lesson we want each child to know is that he or she is uniquely and wonderfully made, created with a special purpose by God who loves them.
Each classroom has separate learning spaces that allow children to engage in activities related to their individual interests and enable them to be active explorers of their environment.
Heavenly Harvest offers programs for:
-
Infants: 6 months to 17 months
-
Young Toddlers: 18 months to 24 months
-
Toddlers: 2-3 years of age
-
Early preschool: 3-4-years of age
-
After school: Pre-K and Kindergarten
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Heavenly Harvest values the relationship that you and your child's teacher are able to develop as it helps surround and support your child. You will be informed of your child's growth and development in a variety of ways. Primarily, we use a parent engagement app called ProCare that each parent has access to upon enrollment. You'll receive updates and pictures throughout the day about your child's activities such as rest time, diaper changes or potty breaks, and learning activities. You have direct communication with your child's teachers and the Leadership Team to keep you informed of any special moment, concerns or general messages. We also use this program to communicate center-wide notifications and reminders to all parents.
Pssstt...
Parents and community members can enrich our curriculum in many ways, and we appreciate your partnership. We would enjoy having you share a special interest, hobby, or your career with the children. If you have a horse, a "big rig", know a firefighter or simply love to read we'd love to hear from you and how we could collaborate.

We provide a nutritional breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack each day. All meals are prepared on-site in our kitchen and served to your child in their classroom. Each child is provided with their own, personal milk and water cups labeled with their name. Before each meal, teachers lead the class in reciting a prayer of thanks. This helps teach our children to be appreciative of the things we all receive.
