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

The sisters (all three) and staff are pretty awesome and really go out of their way to show you that they care. Our daughter is really advanced for her age and they made sure that they constantly challenged her to keep her engaged. In the 1st grade she was reading at a 5th grade level and LoMo played a big part in that. Although we had a rough patch with our son they worked with us to find a solution. We collaborated on what works and what doesn't work to correct his behavior which is rare from facilities like this. Most of them time at other facilities it plays out like this: your kid is a problem, they did X, you need to punish them to correct it, if it continues we will kick you out. Finding a solution wasn't quick or easy but together we corrected the issue while giving each other constructive feedback along the way. That is honestly why they get 5 stars. I am no pushover and can be hard to work with because I hold people accountable while being blunt. We did use another daycare in Lodi before my son was eligible to attend LoMo and the difference was obvious. LoMo is a school, other places in Lodi for this age group are daycare. They also go out of their way to put on special events for holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving whole holding lunches and breakfasts with parents. Overall they treat you like family and really care for your kids as if they were their own. What more could you ask for? Thank you for all that you've done! We will miss you!

I couldn't have found a better place to begin my career in early childhood education. What makes Zion so special is the people. The teachers and staff are truly amazing so patient, nurturing, and deeply passionate about what they do. They treat every child with such love and respect, always taking the time to meet each little one where they're at emotionally, socially, and developmentally. You can see how happy and safe the children feel here, and that comes from the genuine care and consistent support they receive from the staff. Zion has such strong structure and organization that it creates the perfect environment for both the kids and the teachers to thrive. The routines, lesson plans, and classroom expectations are so well thought out it's not just a daycare, it's a place where children are actively learning and growing every single day. Being part of this team is helping shape me into the kind of teacher I've always wanted to be. I've learned so much just by watching how the other teachers handle challenges with grace, communicate with families with compassion, and always keep the children's best interest at heart. Everyone works as a team, supports one another, and truly wants the best for each child and each coworker. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of Zion. It's more than just a job it's a place filled with heart, dedication, and purpose. If you're looking for a place where your child will be loved, guided, and cared for by amazing educators, I wholeheartedly recommend Zion Child Care Center & Preschool.

I felt the need to update my review for future and current parents.

I was hurt to hear that they no longer wanted to watch my son because of a concerned question that was asked. That seemed unsettling and off to me. I noticed the bruise on a Saturday night, and by Monday my son started yanking on my collar, not wanting me to drop him off. It was heartbreaking and not like him. I came into work in tears because something felt off and I hated that I had left him there after my finding (not knowing what happened). I was talking to my coworker about it, and when she pulled the yelp reviews, she asked me if I had read them recently. She said that on Dec 12, 2025, (a month prior to my son's incident) there was a review of another student coming home with bruises in their ear. I can not express how sadden I was to hear that. I knew in my heart that the same thing had happened to my son as well. A teacher is clearly getting handsy with our kids and the director will not do anything about it. We drop our kids off praying that they will be loved and properly cared for, and that is not what my son received towards the end of his time at Zion. I'm so happy that I removed my son from this center and put him in a new one. He is back to his happy self, gets excited to be dropped off at his new daycare , and even asks to see his teacher over the weekend
