Our Philosophy
At Harmony Child Care and Learning Center, Inc., we believe that all children deserve the highest quality early childhood education in an environment that is safe, clean, inclusive, and responsive to each child’s unique developmental needs. Young children learn best through play, exploration, and discovery, and we recognize that a thoughtfully designed environment plays a critical role in supporting children’s growth and development. Our program provides intentional learning experiences aligned with the Rhode Island Early Learning and Development Standards across all developmental domains.
​
Our curriculum is designed to support each child’s developmental stage while incorporating their individual interests and abilities. We emphasize the learning process rather than the final product, allowing children to explore, experiment, and think creatively through hands-on, play-based experiences. Classrooms are intentionally arranged into engaging learning centers that encourage independence and discovery. These centers include writing, math, science, blocks, dramatic play, creative arts, social studies, listening areas, manipulatives and table toys, cozy spaces, and other opportunities for meaningful learning.
​
Harmony Child Care and Learning Center offers center-based classrooms grounded in a play-based philosophy. We provide age-appropriate materials in a clean, organized, and well-maintained environment that promotes curiosity and active learning. Building nurturing, respectful relationships with children and their families is central to our approach, as strong relationships create the foundation for successful learning experiences.
​
We value open, consistent communication between families and staff and recognize its importance in supporting a child’s well-being and development. By working collaboratively with families and fostering positive partnerships, we help children feel safe, secure, and confident. Harmony Child Care and Learning Center maintains an open-door policy, welcoming families at any time during the day to visit their child, participate in activities, share meals, or observe classroom experiences. Families are encouraged to share relevant information with caregivers, and caregivers reciprocate this communication to establish a supportive and trusting partnership.
​
Above all, Harmony Child Care and Learning Center is committed to providing a warm, safe, loving, and enriching educational environment where every child feels welcomed, valued, secure, and nurtured.

I remember the first time it hit me; I had to go back to work and leave my children in the care of another. I had such anxiety that I procrastinated the process of deciding the place, and everyone would give advice about picking a daycare as you do a spouse... "You'll just know!" we had just moved into Glocester and I met some families and they all advised the same place; Harmony Childcare and Learning Center! Once I met Shana and visited the facility I just knew it was the right place for my children. The anxiety I felt about leaving them was no longer there, and the staff at Harmony not only helped my children transition into daycare, but me as well.
Since then I have had a third child in four years, so all three of them have been at Harmony Child care together. I have watched the transition into each age group/room many times. I am still amazed at how patient, kind and educated the staff is in caring for ALL the children. Not only do I see them treat my children well, but I see them treat the children of others well which speaks volumes! I regularly walk in unexpected and am thoroughly impressed each time. I find the teachers and assistants are not there to just watch over the kids; they are there to teach them social skills, eating habits, health management and to start of their learning/education. They are there out of genuine interest in caring for the children and understanding of their unique ages and stages.
The room that particularly amazes me is the infant/baby room. I find this age to be difficult to care for since the child cannot express his/herself well, if at all. I would worry , "How do I know they will know what she needs?" I felt so comfortable leaving my baby in their care. There were actual times where I was not sure what to do with my daughter when she could not tell me what she needed, and I called Harmony to ask her teacher what works best... and it worked!
Another interesting point is that my boys are old enough to tell me about their days, and I love to hear their stories, so I know they are happy there as it seems. My kids do not attend in the summer and I actually have to take them to visit because they miss it during the short time they are not there. I can whole-heartedly tell you to feel confident about putting your children in the care of Harmony Childcare and Learning Center. I know my children do not only enjoy being at Harmony, but the teachers enjoy my children as well.
We can't express our appreciation enough! As first time parents, you worry constantly and want the best for your child. You've all had such a profound effect on our child and her development. Thank you for making it easier to leave her in someone else's hands! The love, care, and kindness you all demonstrate is evident in her personality- she's so excited to go to daycare! We appreciate all of you, your hard work, and your dedication!
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the kids. It was another great year on the books and we appreciate all you do for our family.
Thank you so much for taking good care of our child. We never worried about him and knew he was loved!!
“My two children have been attending this daycare since they were just four months old, and I couldn’t imagine a better place for them. The entire team is always attentive, supportive, and incredibly compassionate. They take the time to really know each child as an individual and create a warm, family-like atmosphere that makes drop-off and pick-up feel comfortable.
From daily updates to thoughtful communication about milestones and challenges, they consistently go above and beyond. I’ve watched my kids grow, learn, and thrive here, and it’s clear they are surrounded by people who genuinely care about their happiness and well-being.
We are so grateful for everything they do—this daycare has become an extension of our family”
I have been sending my 3 1/2 year old daughter to Harmony Childcare Daycare center since she has been five months old and just started sending her little sister who is now 7 months old. Evert day at drop off time, I have a wonderful feeling of security that my children are in good hands. The facility is very neat and clean and they always have plenty of staff on hand to handle my children's needs.
