Built by a Homer mom, for Homer families.
Little Harvest Learning Center is founded on the belief that every child is uniquely created in the image of God and worthy of love, dignity, and respect. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment where children feel valued, supported, and encouraged to grow.
Hi, I’m Tara.
I’m a Homer mom of five and the founder of Little Harvest Learning Center. As both a mother and an educator, I understand how important it is to find a place where your child feels safe, loved, and encouraged to grow.
My passion for working with children comes from seeing firsthand how much they thrive when they are nurtured with patience, kindness, and consistency. At Little Harvest Learning Center, we strive to create a family-centered environment where every child is valued, supported, and given the opportunity to learn and explore at their own pace.
Our preschool is rooted in biblical values and guided by love, compassion, and respect. I believe teachers have the unique privilege of helping shape a child’s early years by modeling positive character, fostering curiosity, and building confidence. My hope is that every child who walks through our doors develops a strong foundation for learning, meaningful relationships, and a lifelong love of discovery.
We look forward to partnering with your family and being part of your child’s early learning journey.
I’d love to meet your family. Reach me anytime at by email.
“Every child is a gift entrusted to us by God, wonderfully made, created with purpose, and worthy of being loved, nurtured, and encouraged as they grow.”
Rooted in Homer, Alaska.
Homer is a special place to raise children. There’s a richness here — in the landscape, the seasons, the tight-knit community — that shapes everything we do at Little Harvest. We’re not a franchise or a curriculum imported from elsewhere. We’re a school that grew from this place, and this community.
We’re proud to be a Connections-approved vendor, making it easy for homeschool families across the Kenai Peninsula to access our programs.
The beliefs that shape every day.
Come meet us.
We’d love to answer your questions and tell you more about what Little Harvest looks like in practice.
