My 2 year 9 month old son, who is Japanese, spent 10 months at the day care. During that time, he really enjoyed the monthly at-home activities and his progress was very good. We can feel the results of the teachers' kind education and care on a daily basis. I can strongly recommend this school to foreigners.

My 3 y/o daughter started here a month ago and I am highly impressed. She has learned so much in just a short amount of time. The staff here is very friendly and responsive. My daughter came home saying her prayers on her own and at that moment I knew I made the right decision in not only her education but spiritually. She is in a place where Christ is at the center of everything and I am very thankful for it.

By instilling the children with The Word of God, the teachers at Harvest Early childhood Development Center create an optimal and creative learning environment through the implementation of age appropriate curriculum.
I am grateful for these teachers that instruct our children in the ways of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. They are establishing an unshakeable foundation in the lives of our children, a faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 3:15
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

I highly recommend Harvest Ministries to anyone looking for the BEST care for their little one! I trusted my two kids with Harvest Ministries and I'm SO glad I did. My oldest started when she was 2 and my youngest when he was about 1, until now at 4 and almost 3.

Both have learned SO much at Harvest Ministries, from colors to bible songs and verses, better manners and listening skills, and more! My four year old can write all her letters, recognize them, and form words. I'm sure she will be ready for Kindergarten thanks to the awesome lessons at Harvest Ministries! The kids always have a great day and love their teachers! I love the staff too! We have grown to love them and it's clear how much they care about the kids. I know my kids are safe, being cared for, loved, educated, and nurtured.

It's never easy leaving your kids but I do highly recommend you put your trust in Harvest Ministries to ease your mind while you can't there! I'm extremely grateful for them and glad I made the decision to bring my kids here!

Harvest has been such a blessing to our family. Our daughter has gone to this preschool since she was 4 months old and has grown so much with the help of Harvest staff. We could pop in at anytime and know our child was thoroughly cared for. They created a village we could lean on and became our family away from family. If you are considering this school you cannot find a better place than Harvest.

I hope there is enough room to talk about the awesome staff at Harvest Ministries. My daughter began here at 1 1/2 years old in 2017. Mrs. Sparks evaluated her and placed her in the 2 year old class. I am a night shift worker and the first day we arrived the staff was there assisting me as soon as we walked in. I'm not use to child care facilities doing this, usually the parents are struggling to put stuff away and settling them in. Fast forward my daughter was learning The Word of God everyday. She was singing songs praising God that I didn't know all the words too. Between learning there and home, people are amazed how much she knows about The Word of God and Bible Stories. Being a single mom I have forgot something a time or two or three and they just provided it. They didn't wake me up from my sleep because I'm a night shift nurse, they considered that and let me get my rest. They cared about the safety of me being on the road after working a 12 hour night shift. In 2020 when Covid hit they were able to stay open. That helped so much because of my job. They also did a Kindergarten program online with her, which kept her ahead. Then in 2021 they did the online program for 1st grade for her. Also to mention they never had a Covid outbreak for the whole time. Now in May 2022 her time there is complete. On her last day of school they threw a party, for her, gave her gifts and graduated her with a cap and gown. Again they always treated her like family as well as the other children there. They held her to the standards, kept her in line and loved on her. Skyla aka Blessing was very sad to leave. She hugged every teacher and Mrs. Sparks so tight. I highly recommend Harvest Ministries. Your children will be safe, well taken care of, and will learn a foundation of knowledge that will allow your child to prosper in the next phase of their life. I'm beyond grateful to Mrs. Sparks, Ms. Fuller, Ms. Barrett, Ms. Nikki, Ms. Fisher, Mrs. Peak, Ms. Antoinette, Ms. Amber and Mr. B! May God Bless you, May God Keep you and May God make His face shine upon you!

We were so lucky to find a home for our 2 year old at Harvest Ministries! We came from a center that was a rough experience and my confidence in leaving my daughter was very low. But as soon as I connected with Ms. Sparks I was immediately put at ease and we have had no regrets in switching. I love that my daughter is being both nurtured and educated. She comes home and tells me about her friends, teachers, and what she did each day- I also love that she has learned bible stories, songs, and prayers. It is truly a well rounded experience. The teachers are all so professional and we are so thankful to each of them for making our transition so smooth! We will have a little one joining us in a few weeks and I feel completely at ease with her also attending as an infant!

Harvest Ministries has been a blessing for our family! Our daughter has grown and learned so much since transitioning here right after turning 2. The teachers are wonderful and welcoming. I appreciate being able to see her teacher at drop-off and pickup if I have any questions and to hear how she is doing. We never saw her teacher at her previous daycare. The curriculum and structure is just what she needs. Since starting, she has learned all her letters and her vocabulary continues to grow. She is working on counting to 20 and can actually count objects. Her tracing is amazing since starting here, it's obvious they practice. They have Bible daily and she come home saying a prayer before she eats. I think what I love the most is that it is not just childcare, it is a preschool where children are learning everyday.

Harvest ministries is a fantastic daycare and hidden gem in York County. I started searching for a daycare while 4-5 months pregnant and from the beginning Mrs. Sparks made me feel comfortable. She allowed me to tour the facility and reserve a space, which added to my peace of mind, during my pregnancy. She continued to check in with me as my due date was approaching and as it got closer for my little one to start. Fast forward to my daughter starting and current participation in the program, I receive pictures almost daily in addition to feedback about how her day has been. I can request pictures and updates throughout the day just to check in and receive responses immediately. They have worked with me to support breast feeding efforts, transitions to solid food, and more. All of the staff are knowledgeable and know not just my child but every parent and child that comes into the building! Increasing my thoughts regarding safety as no one enters the building without their knowledge. The children are engaged in activities daily, and my daughter even with her young age is participating in art projects and learning. I could go on and on about this daycare and the staff and the outstanding things that they do for my family and others. They also provide support to the community through various events such as providing Thanksgiving dinner. This daycare has been a blessing, and I look forward to seeing the continued growth of my child in this facility. I have no concerns with leaving my daughter at Harvest Ministries and wish I had known earlier. Thank you Harvest Ministries for all that you do. Special shout out to all the teachers that support the Infant room!

Harvest Ministries is an awesome affordable child care center. My child has attended the facility for 3 years now. The teachers take the time to work with students to prepare them for kindergarten. Because of the work put in by the staff there my child was chosen to be tested for the gifted program at her traditional school. They have done a tremendous job with COVID procedures and keeping all the kids safe. I highly recommend Harvest Ministries!!

Harvest Ministries daycare has been such a blessing for our family. Their staff is friendly, responsive, communicative, and such great teachers for my three babies. We love the fact that not only are our toddlers learning the early childhood basics needed before they start kindergarten but they are also being taught biblical studies on a daily basis.

This daycare is great - They helped my son (8yo on the spectrum for autism) and accommodated his needs, and helped reinforce the discipline we use at home making some behavior corrections far easier for everyone. The staff is friendly and helpful, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend!

They are doing an amazing work! When I got home today, my little one ran up to me and asked who is "yes I will". I had no clue what he was talking about. He started singing yes I will and that's when I realized it was a song! It brought me to tears! I played it for him and listened to him sing along praising the name of Jesus! It brought a joy in my heart that I really needed and reminder to praise always. Thank you so much for not only guiding them educationally but spiritually as well!

This place is great, I already miss them! My son just started school, otherwise he would still be there. All the staff at Harvest Ministries is wonderful. They greet you with a smile in the morning and in the afternoon. My son was very shy and I thought he would have a hard time going to daycare, but I was wrong. He loved it here and he loved his teachers. He would come home happily talking about them. They really helped him come out of his shell and he started communicating better with others. On his first day of actual school, he jumped on that bus with high confidence ready to go to school and I know he wouldn't have done that so easily if he was as shy as he was in the past. I have Harvest Ministries Daycare to thank for that!

A great place for the little one to learn and grow. My three year old son had a great time here and started teaching me what he was learning right away. The staff was always helpful and answered any questions that I had. I appreciate everything my sons teachers did for him, and I would recommend this place for others.

Fantastic daycare, summer camp and school. I had the opportunity to have my grandson for six weeks of summer and needed a daytime program for him. I visited several other daycare centers to include Harvest Ministry and right away I felt this was the place for him and it was. The staff and caregivers are great and truly care about the kids. My grandson had nothing but good things to say about his stay. I'll have him back next summer and he'll be attending Harvest Ministry Childcare Center...:-).

I cannot begin to express how wonderful this place is. My daughter is thrilled to go and learn. It's amazing to see her face light up when she talks about what she's learned, the friends she's made, and how her teachers help her. I love the personalized attention she gets as well as how they update me about what they're working on. My daughter is almost 3 and thanks to the teachers here she can count to 50 and recognize things that she wouldn't be learning until kindergarten. It creates a peace of mind knowing my child is in good hands. Knowing not only is she in a safe environment, but also a loving one.

We have two boys (ages 4 and 6) that receive care from Harvest, one for "before school care" and one for "full-daycare." We are more than satisfied with the care our kids have received. Ms Aime, Ms. Taylor and the rest of the staff are always warm and inviting and happy to receive our kids. We get feedback on behavior, progress and activities in a timely manner. In just 8 months, we can see the progress in school work and the preparation they put in to our 4 yr old in preparing him for kindergarten next year! We would not hesitate to sign our kids up for Harvest Ministries again!

The most incredible-K ever. I recently had to withdraw my son from another program because it was chaotic and he was't happy. He is thriving now! He is very shy but the teachers are amazing with him.

Harvest Ministries is a great place for Child Care. They really take care of the kids like they are their own. We really enjoyed our experience with them and our daughter loved it too. Thank you for everything!!

Harvest Ministries Early Childhood is such an amazing place for any child to go to I loved it so much my son has grown n learn so many things that still amazes me prices are great compared to a lot of other places im sad my son had to leave but very greatful n thankful for everything he has learned .

I can not commend the staff and teachers at Harvest Ministries enough. My son has been attending their child care center for three months now and looks forward to school every day. He runs out of the house with his lunch box in hand and is ready to start singing and learning as soon as I drop him off. When I pick him up he is as happy as can be. He has been singing his ABCs and dancing all around our house ever since. They are extremely hands on and a very impressive team. I am beyond blessed to have found such a caring group for my sons care.

My daughter has been so well taken care of and learned so much. Anything that you really need out of a daycare/early education they have and do. She is so ready for kindergarten. I do enjoy that I give my daughter her snacks and lunch to go with her because then I know she will eat during the day. Couldn't have asked for a better place to send her.

My son has been going here for almost a year now. He started when he was 2. I was so nervous the first week+ because it was a new place and it's hard to trust new people with your babies. They were so understanding and did everything they could to make me feel at ease. They have taught him so much! He randomly starts singing new songs that he learns and it's the cutest thing! I have referred 2 friends to them already and I highly recommend them to everyone I talk to! Definitely the best choice for child care!

I wish i would of known about them sooner! My son is 2 years old going on 3, and when he first started he didn't say anything besides "NO". He now says full blown sentences, he knows his colors as well as his numbers. He knows animals as well as sounds they make. Knows all of his body parts and gets along very well with other kids. This daycare has changed him and helped him develop in the most positive way ever! The price is very affordable and well worth the money. They care about the kids that attend. They pay attention to every child's specific needs. I absolutely love this daycare. Mrs. Taylor and the rest of the teachers their are all absolutely outstanding. I recommend this daycare to anyone looking to put their child in a safe environment, and one that actually teaches your child the fundamentals needed to succeed.

Harvest Ministries Daycare is the best daycare my children have been to. The teachers and director are truly caring and listen to the needs of the children. My kids are always happy to go to school and run to the door with a smile on their face.
Since starting, they have learned a tremendous amount. My 2 year old is starting to count and knows her colors. My four year old is counting, recognizing words and writing his own name.
Not only is it affordable, clean with good leadership and strong academics they take the whole child into account and teach them to be good people.
This daycare has made an incredible positive impact on my children's lives.

I wish I could give them more stars!!! My children have been attending this daycare for a little over a month now and we have absolutely loved every moment of it. My oldest is only there for before and after care but he raves about this daycare on the daily! Our youngest two (ages 2&1) attend full time and you can tell the positive experience they're having at this institution! The staff is friendly and you're always greeted with a smile. The facilitator has always been professional and is such a sweetheart to work with! Most daycares don't live up to my expectations but this center has been exceeded my expectations. I don't worry about my children why they're in their care! My two year old has learned so much in such a short time of being there! Everyday the children are hugged and kissed goodbye by staff members! It feels like a family there and you can tell the children are loved! I would recommend this center to ANYONE! Good childcare is hard to find but if you have a chance to enroll your children into this childcare then you absolutely have the best! Be blessed!

This daycare/school is one of the best decisions I have made. My son has been enrolled since October 3015, he is going on 3, and since this program has learned so much. Locally its one of the most affordable to a single parent. It is very clean and professional. I would recommend this facility to anyone. The staff is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend calling this daycare and going for a tour. I love it and so does my son.

Harvest Ministries was a diamond in the rough! Excellent care and communication was always flowing openly between myself and my child's teacher. Very affordable and my daughter will definitely be going back if we are ever in need for childcare again. Very sweet, professional staff! Bravo!

The facility is very professional, clean, friendly with the children and parents. It provides a good daily structure for my child. I love having my daughter come home and tell me about the Bible story she learned that day or the song they sang. They really helped her adjust to a new setting very easily. Communication with the staff is excellent. I am beyond happy that we chose them.

This Daycare has proven to be one of the best decisions i have made yet reguarding my infant. The staff are amazing and filled with the love of God. I am so thankful for them they make life easier.

Love Harvest Ministries! Wonderful people and great communication. Definitely trust them with my child 100%.

The staff is very dedicated to offering a well rounded experience. They provide a unique learning environment that incorporates interactive learning. Tuition cost are very reasonable compared to most in Hampton Roads.

Harvey Ministries Daycare is an absolute amazing daycare. As an over protective parent I was nervous to switch his daycare, but I must say this is an excellent choice for your child(ren)!

*All of the staff here have such warm, inviting and annoited personalities.
*They all are overall well trained staff.
*The facility is spotless.
*Great learning curriculum.
*Awesome pricing for not only daycare but transportation services as well.
*The staff cater to each kiddos personal care needs.
*Maintain diaper changes, naps and feeding times.
*Each room has toy overload to keep all the kiddos well entertained.

I was extra nervous my son wouldn't cooperate because he's really picky when it comes to people, but these ladies are baby whisperers. They provide the best care I could ever ask for for my son and they would do the same for your child(ren). We're happy to now be apart of the Harvet Ministries family.
