Our Approach

We believe the years before kindergarten are precious — and purposeful.

At Little Harvest Learning Center we strive to provide an environment that is both stimulating and nurturing. We promote learning through play, discovery and exploration in a safe setting with experienced teachers and caregivers who understand the importance of developing the whole child. The curriculum is hand chosen by the head teacher and aligns with all state curriculum, while focusing on social-emotional growth and early literacy.

Play-based
Intentional play and hands-on activities drive every part of our day.
Small & personal
Low ratios so every child is truly known.
Kindergarten-ready
We build the social-emotional and academic skills kids need to thrive in kindergarten.
Community-rooted
Built by Homer families, for Homer families.
The New Space
