Empowering children through education and care.
Harbor Day Care Center started in 1973 in Sea Cliff with just eight children. Today, it stands as a beacon of child care excellence in Nassau County, nurturing over 1,000 children annually across five centers. We focus on creating an educational environment that not only prepares children academically but also develops them socially and emotionally through a comprehensive Creative Curriculum that aligns with New York Common Core standards.
We offer a variety of programs tailored to different developmental stages:
All programs are conducted in peanut-free environments with nutritious meals provided to ensure the well-being of all children.
Our centers are located throughout Nassau County, each equipped to provide exceptional care and educational experiences. For more details on each location, including addresses and contact information, please visit our Locations page.
