Our Vision
Harvest Christian Preschool opened in 2003, with a vision to help children learn about their God, their world and who they are through play. Our preschool is a mission of New Dawn Worship Center, an Assembly of God Church in Fremont, California and is located on the same property. The leadership of the church envisioned an environment in which they could help the community by providing a quality learning environment for children.
Harvest Christian Preschool is staffed by dedicated teachers with professional training and/or experience. Our classes offer each child optimum learning enrichment within a nurturing, Christian environment.

Specialty Programs
Jump Bunch:
(additional costs will apply)
This is a 30-45 minute weekly class. The kids just think it’s fun! Preschoolers need LOTS of physical activity. JumpBunch provides great exercise, but in a structured format that introduces a wide variety of sports, and builds coordination, balance and confidence.
Each class includes warm-ups, floor exercises, the sport activity of the week, stretching, then cool down. We don’t make it competitive for preschoolers; it’s a completely positive experience. It’s amazing how this early exposure makes kids more willing to give new sports a try as they get older.
