Harvest Preschool & Child Care is a CCLD-licensed nonprofit Child Care Center serving ages 2–6 in north Stockton's Highway 99 corridor (95212 ZIP), with full working-parent hours Monday–Friday 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The center offers flexible 2–to–5–day-per-week enrollment and uses the Fletcher's Place Reading Program as part of a curriculum designed to build academic, spiritual, creative, and social foundations for kindergarten readiness. Modest capacity of 40 children reflects the limited licensed-center supply in this corridor. A CCLD inspection citation from April 30, 2025, warrants direct family review of inspection details, and the lack of infant care (ages 2+) limits access for younger siblings.
