Our staff is committed to providing the highest quality care and education to all children. We are dedicated to continuing education and training of our staff through All-Staff Meetings, offsite trainings and our Annual Training Day.
Social Services requires that only one staff member certified in MAT, CPR and First Aid be on the premises at all times. However, we require our entire Core Team to maintain certification in these areas.
Every employee undergoes background checks through the Commonwealth of Virginia and Child Protective Services upon hiring and then every five years thereafter.
All staff have had experience working with children and have a desire to work in the Christian preschool evnironment.
Our Core Teachers gather each morning for devotion and prayer before the school day begins, sharing their joys and concerns.

Our History
In 1999, when Church of the Nazarene relocated to Boyers Road, their desire was to make an impact on this community. A group of dedicated members went door to door in the surrounding neighborhoods and asked, "How can we best serve you?" One of the greatest needs was quality after school care for their children. With this answer, our Church began to vision and dream, and Kid's Harbor was the result. The dream grew, as did the After School Program, and eventually expanded to include our Preschool Programs.
We are pleased to still be serving our community with outstanding after school care and summer school-age programs, as well as providing preschool and childcare for children as young as six weeks of age.
Please see Programs for more details.
