Primary
At Little Harvard Daycare, our Primary Program is designed to foster a love for learning in children aged 3 to 6. Through a blend of structured activities and open-ended exploration, we create an environment where each child can thrive.
Blended Age Learning
At Little Harvard, children of different ages share the same learning space, creating a natural environment for mentorship and growth. Younger children gain inspiration from older peers, while the older ones build confidence, empathy, and leadership by helping those just beginning their journey.
Freedom to Explore
Children learn best when they follow their curiosity. Through a balance of guided lessons and independent discovery, each child chooses activities that spark interest and challenge their thinking—encouraging a lifelong sense of independence and wonder.
Guided by Connection
Our teachers are caring, dedicated professionals who take time to truly know every child. Through patient guidance and consistent support, they nurture trust and confidence, becoming mentors who inspire each child to reach their fullest potential.
Personalized Learning Pathways
Every child learns differently, and we embrace that. By closely observing interests and progress, our educators design individualized experiences that meet each child right where they are—ensuring learning feels joyful, relevant, and just the right amount of challenging.
Learning Through Doing
We believe in learning with hands, heart, and mind. Our classrooms are filled with tactile materials that invite children to touch, build, count, and explore—transforming abstract concepts into real, meaningful understanding.
A Balance of Focus and Fun
Children need time to concentrate deeply and time to connect with others. Our days flow between quiet independent work and lively group moments—songs, stories, outdoor play, and creative movement—encouraging both focus and friendship.
Honoring Each Child’s Unique Path
Every child grows differently. Our educators adapt lessons to fit your child’s current developmental stage, ensuring challenges are personalized and aligned with their strengths rather than age-based expectations.
A Space That Inspires
Every detail of our classrooms is designed with intention. Soft light, child-sized furniture, and inviting materials create an atmosphere that feels calm yet stimulating—encouraging curiosity, independence, and a sense of belonging.
Social Growth in Action
Beyond academics, children at Little Harvard learn how to be part of a community. They practice empathy, communication, and cooperation through real-life interactions, developing social and emotional skills that prepare them for the world beyond the classroom.
Prepared for What’s Next
As children complete their time in our Primary Program, they move forward ready for new challenges. They’ve built strong foundations in literacy, math, and cultural understanding—but just as importantly, they’ve developed confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love for learning that will guide them for years to come.
