Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Harvest Christian Learning Center is a Bronze SUTQ-rated, faith-based childcare provider at 125 Wilson Park Dr. in West Carrollton, OH, serving infants as young as six weeks through school-age children up to 11 years old. Founded in 2009, the center offers flexible full-time and part-time enrollment options across multiple age groups, including infant/toddler care, half-day and full-day preschool for ages 3–5, before and after school care, summer programming, and tutoring through college level. A Christian educational approach weaves biblical values and character-building lessons into daily activities. The center maintains secure facilities with meticulous staff-to-child ratios, participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program, and operates Monday–Friday, 6:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. A notable limitation is the absence of public parent reviews, which limits independent verification of day-to-day parent experience.
