I had my child enrolled in Harbor Learning Center from 2014 till now. Everyone is professional there (managment and teachers) and I like that it is family ran. Since starting there, her speaking, social skills and manners have grown incredibly. Miss Stephanie is my childs teacher, she started just this year and has so much passion for the children. They are always learning new things, doing different activities with the children and you can tell they all love their job. I want to say that many daycares do not care about your children, as we see on the news and in articles online, but that shouldn't judge all daycares, that's not fair to GOOD daycares. I love Harbor Learning Center and my child is happy everyday to see the teachers. When my child is happy to go there, I don't need any other reassurances. hope this helps for future parents looking for a great daycare. I recommend them 100 percent of the way.
My Daughter use to go in this school, I was satisfied with quiet many things.Till I learned that staff members especially teacher Sandra,and owner Jessica really needs to learn how to talk with kids.I have seen them couple of times shouting over the kids. They are not doing any favor to parents by keeping their kids. We are paying for their services.So beware I will not recommend this school for anyone.

The centers academic plan is solid and well rounded. Our center created a curriculum that touches many different areas of development. Age appropriate room arrangement is the first step to a successful learning journey. Classrooms are situated to create a structural environment to enhance learning and organization which eventually teaches self control and independency. Class schedules include circle time, lesson, art, science, language, health, social skills, story time, dramatic play, manipulatives, fine and gross motor skills, music and physical education. Classroom schedules are carefully planned and organized. Having an excellent academic plan is the backbone to the success it creates. Children leaving the center are more than prepared for public school.
