Harbor Child Care @ Willis Avenue School

My 2 year old started this daycare in September 2025 and I couldn’t be happier with this placement. His teacher, her assistant teachers, and all of the staff at this daycare are incredible. They’re capable, smart, informed and organized. Getting pictures of my toddler throughout his day is the best reward ever. The constant updates on his activities via the daycare app are great! They require a minimum of 9 hours for full time daycare and that is perfect for working parents. Thank you so much to the Willis Ave Harbor team!!!

My daughter has been going to Harbor Daycare since she was only 5 months old. Without the help of Harbor she would not be the smart and kind 4 year old she is today. She has learned so much from her teachers and friends these past years. Our family will cherish the friendships and memories she has made at Harbor Daycare.

We've been with Harbor for almost a year now and are really grateful for the teachers, assistants and staff. Running a daycare especially during this time hasn't been easy but the staff does a good job of keeping parents informed and connected. The programs they host (holidays, staff appreciation, month of the young child) keep the families and kids engaged and excited to go back to school. Every day the staff greets the kids with the warmest welcomes and at pick-up our son is so happy.

THE BEST!! My 8 month old has been attending Harbor on Willis Ave for 5 months now and my husband & I could not be happier. As first time parents, leaving my 4 month old child was such an emotional and stressful decision. From our first interaction with the teachers and administration, we immediately felt more comfortable. The teachers are fantastic and have seemingly become our extended family. Ms. Renee & Ms. Marilou are always updating me on my sons progress, and genuinely care for him. Communication is excellent. All updates are posted to their app and I’m in constant communication with his teachers. Drop off and pick up is a breeze, I’m always greeted with a big smile. Since joining, my son has been much more social, happy and easy going. I have never felt unsafe or worried bringing my son to Harbor. I cannot say enough good things about the team at Harbor Child Care. They give my son the best care, and ease all my “mom-guilt” for being a working mother. Thank you!!

Harbor Child Care at Willis Ave is beyond amazing. We started in 2013 with our older child who just turned 2, as first time parents the staff and administrators were nothing but supportive and loving and made the experience welcoming and warm. The teachers there did an amazing job at getting our child kindergarten ready! Flash forward, to when our second child started at a younger age, 5 months, in 2016. Again, the team at Harbor Child Care made us feel nothing but comfortable and accommodating to everything we wanted to help make our experience nothing but amazing. The teachers truly love the children there and treat them like their own. Their honesty and communication between parent and teacher is truly appreciated. They definitely make you feel okay about leaving your child there! As a parent, the hardest thing to do is leaving your child with a stranger, but it makes it easier knowing they are in such loving and caring hands!! We wouldn’t want to be any other place!! I never came across a place that looks at a child individually and takes the time to match and place them in the right room. When a child is ready to move up in rooms, administration, seems to really care and look at each child’s strengths and what can be worked on and pairs them with the perfect room! We couldn’t be happier with the class placements we have had. We would highly recommend Harbor Child Care to anyone looking for a great place to watch your child blossom and grow ❤️
