Tuition
Our program provides 80 spaces for children between the ages of 6 months – 6 years of age. We accept children of all abilities as we believe all children have the right to learn and be a citizen in our facility.
Please note:
- We only offer Full-Time Care
- We participate in the Government Affordability Grant & Accept Subsidy for qualifying families
- Half day kindergarten program fee available. Enrollment for kindergarten will be discussed with the director directly for eligibility. Please note: we do not provide transportation to and from the kindergarten programs. It is the parent’s responsibility to set up transportation for the child from an outside source. For example: If your child’s school will bus directly to Harvest Pointe Daycare, then we can accommodate pick up and drop off for your child at our front doors.

Programming
Harvest Pointe Daycare delivers a developmentally appropriate program for all children attending the center. The program provides for the development of each child’s social, physical, emotional and intellectual potential, including language skills and creativity. Children will be actively involved in the program planning and parents/guardians are asked for their input as well. The Educators are responsible for the development of a program in their classroom that meets the needs of the children. The program reflects the centers’ philosophy which includes: interest based child-directed play, open-ended inquiry, emergent curriculum, implementation of Flight and the whole child approach.
Types of Play
Our center believes that “play is the work of children” as said by Maria Montessori. The types of play that our educators explore along side the children are:
Physical Play – body awareness, risk taking, boundaries
Language Play – rhymes, symbols, reading
Exploratory Play – sensory, nature, hypothesis
Constructive Play – building, loose parts, trial/error
Fantasy Play – imagination, possibilities, dramatic
Social Play – cooperative, problem solving, turn-taking
Expressive Play – music, art, writing
Spontaneous Play – free play, unstructured, child-directed
