Harvest House Daycare, led by Ms. Sylvia with the loving support of Ms. Joan and Papa, is truly a…read morehidden gem. From the moment you see the space, you can feel the difference -- her home and large backyard offer room for children to move, play, and grow in a calm, nurturing environment. It feels like family, not a crowded commercial center. The children are well cared for, fed fresh organic vegetables and even home-grown fruits, and they come home happy, clean, and secure every day. What truly sets Harvest House apart is the focus on early learning, especially reading and math. Ms. Sylvia follows an old-school, pen-and-paper approach that emphasizes literacy, numbers, and repetition over constant arts and crafts. I've had two daughters here -- my first (Delaney) attended from age 3 to 5, and my second (Henley) started as a newborn at just 2 months old and is still with Ms. Sylvia now at age 5, entering kindergarten next year. My youngest has already surpassed the kindergarten curriculum: she knew sight words by age 2.5, began reading by 3.5, and now reads at a second-grade level. When my first daughter was born, I called Harvest House Daycare when she was six months old and there was no space available. At the time, I enrolled her in an expensive, brand-name private school believing the higher price would guarantee better care and education. I later learned that branding and cost do not equal quality. The structure, academic focus, and individualized attention at Harvest House far exceeded what we experienced elsewhere. We were incredibly fortunate to later secure a spot, and both of my daughters thrived here academically, socially, and emotionally. The price is absolutely worth it when you consider the long-term growth, confidence, and academic advantage your child gains. With reliable hours from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., genuine care, and a strong academic foundation, Harvest House Daycare offers something rare -- a place where children are truly prepared for school and life, not just watched during the day.

Our family has been with Sylvia, John, and Joan since 2018. They have become a second family and…read moremade it so easy as parents to find a sense of peace knowing our kiddos are being well cared for. All of my children have been with them since they were infants (2 months & 5 months old). Their day to day is structured which helps create a routine for the kids and they know what to expect each day. The program includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks which are all nutritious and my kids love (I give credit for my kiddos being great eaters, they love veggies, to the balanced meals they receive). Even from infancy formula is provided if needed along with food plans outlined once solids are introduced. Once old enough they facilitate a preschool program, my two year old can hold a pencil correctly and does his worksheets daily. The early introduction to these skills continue on to help prepare for kindergarten. We decided to keep our kids at Harvest House until they started kindergarten, and credit the curriculum and dedication they set in place of reading, sight words, and math to setting them up for success. My 8 and 5 yr old progressed at different paces but both felt more confidence going into kindergarten. In the eight years we have been with them they haven't been closed outside the Holidays and Vacation days outlined at the beginning of the year, providing us working parents with the reliability and stability needed. Harvest House has been a blessing for our family creating a safe, caring, and structured program for our kids. My eight year old still wants to go back to ZaZa's and Papa's on her school breaks. Truly could not recommend Harvest House more as top notch child care provider. Ainsley, Hadley, Dalton, Doug and Kali

I pray this place is no longer open…read more My son went here a few years ago. Long story short but supposedly Richard was sleeping with Barbies BFF who was also an employee of the daycare. Barbie found out and fell off the alcohol wagon. She hired another daycare helper who told me Barbie was accepting the kids in the morning and passing out drunk and naked on her bed during the day. My son was strapped in a highchair all day neglected. Then I realized that all the rashes he had been coming home with lately were due to abuse (neglect). Needless to say I reported all this to Galt pd and to CPS.

My son needed the socialization and was ready to learn in an age appropriate curriculum and I think this is a great fit for him. I love all the field trips they have already gone and small class size which you cannot find in public schools with all the budget cuts. If you are looking for a "pre-pre-school" to Kindergarten this place is worth your time to check out to see if it is a fit for your child. The cost is VERY reasonable. My son is 2 years old and now looks forward to going to school.

I almost switched her to another school when Lupe Cabrales worked there. The energy was bad and and I didn't want my daughter to be subject to that all day.

Since then my daughter comes home happy everyday and the energy is great again.

There is so much stimulation during the day that ensure our Son has a deep slumber during the night. She is very intuitive and understands each individual child and what their needs are.
