Harvest Time Child Development Center

I’ve been wanting to share my experience with this school for a long time. My son and nephews attended between 2022 and 2025, and unfortunately, it was the most disappointing educational experience we’ve had. The leadership, Ms. A, and several teachers often demonstrated behavior that felt unprofessional and far from supportive of students. Today, we’re grateful for how well my son and nephews are doing academically in their new school and homeschool, despite that experience, and we view it as a blessing that they eventually moved on from this school. Skip this school at all costs.

am very happy with my son’s school. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to the students’ success. The staff communicates clearly and always makes me feel welcome. My son feels supported, safe, and excited to learn every day. I can see how much he is growing, not just academically but also as a person. I’m very grateful for the love and effort the school puts into the children. Highly recommend! Ms. Smalley is an outstanding teacher! She is patient, caring, and truly dedicated to her students’ success. My child has grown so much in her class and always feels encouraged and supported. She communicates clearly, makes learning fun, and creates a positive environment where every child feels valued. We are very grateful for all of her hard work and heart. Sebastian is very Happy😊

My first red flag was when my son’s 1year old teacher quit after two days. I was told about behavior problems in the classroom and that the administration didn’t support the teachers in a fair resolution. I didn’t like how the school had a plastic removable wedge to change the children on a countertop or on the floor. I thought that was very inconsiderate of the workers and the safety of the children. They could’ve had a changing table. I didn’t like the little amount of breakfast they would feed my one year old. Every morning that I dropped him off in time for breakfast I would always encourage and ask that they give him more. He was allergic to dairy cow milk and I provided him a gallon of oat milk and on two separate occasions they tried to give him cow milk in my presence. My son seemed to enjoy himself for the almost two weeks that he was there. The first couple of days I received pictures and that stopped once they replaced his teacher that quit after the first day. The final incident was when I picked up my son and he had a deep scratch on the middle of his face and eye. I asked for an incident report but the afternoon teacher said his normal teacher didn’t leave one. I spoke to the administrator and she took a picture and said she will ask the teacher and have the director call me in the morning. I never received a call from the director but instead a part-time employee at 4:45pm on a Friday that didn’t know what was going on but very apologetic. I asked that the director call me. She called me Monday morning about 9am and asked what was going on. I had to repeat the entire situation and I was told that the little girl that clawed my son was non-verbal and she sometimes has problems communicating with the other kids. The teacher already told us that this particular little girl has had several behavioral issues and that the staff didn’t support her decision to have her removed. Which is probably one reason why the teacher quit. The director told me that it’s been some time since the last incident. I pulled my son from their program as there wasn’t anything that they could do to reassure that my child wouldn’t be attacked by the little girl again. The director wasn’t in the least bit apologetic or sincere in her sentiments.

My sons absolutely loved summer camp here! Sweetest staff and super clean environment. Christian faith! They had a great deal of activities planned out throughout summer. Which they print out on memo calendars and also email invite. SUPER HELPFUL! Sometimes they even had the ice cream truck come out for a special treat. A lot of water play! They utilize Procare app. During field trips they all wear a camp t-shirt. Overall, it was a lovely experience and I would definitely recommend. If you are interested in their camp, I would certainly set up a memo to sign up as soon as the registrations open. Thank you

My son went here for daycare and VPK and we absolutely loved it. The staff truly care about the children. As an educator myself, I loved knowing that the staff do everything possible to ensure each child has the best experience. We loved the director and teachers. We will be sending our youngest here soon!
