About Kids Harbor Learning Center
At Kids Harbor Learning Center, we strive to provide a secure and nurturing environment that encourages each child to explore their unique talents and strengths. We believe that every child has the potential to learn and grow, and we are committed to supporting their development in every way possible. Our preschool program is designed to promote both academic and social-emotional learning, with a focus on hands-on exploration and play-based activities. We are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming community where all families feel valued and supported.
History
Kids Harbor Learning Center is a private preschool that was originally established in 2014 under another name and has remained active and thriving in the community since. The business was sold to a new family of owners in 2018 and was renamed Kids Harbor Learning Center (KHLC). It was remodeled, repurposed and still serves St. Lucie families today. Recently, KHLC was purchased by Evans Fourever Invesments, LLC, but will operate under the same name of Kids Harbor Learning Center. The Evans family are all previous educators having worked in public and private schools serving children from 18 months to 12th grade and well into their collegiate years! As previous school administrators in all areas of education, the school is in good hands going forward. In fact, the school was chosen because of the quality it currently offers.
Our Philosophy
At Kids Harbor Learning Center children are encouraged to discover their individual strengths and unique talents. We believe that each child possesses a marvelous capacity to learn. Learning is best accomplished in a place that is emotionally secure, physically safe, and fun!

Kids Harbor Learning Center of Port Saint Lucie welcomes those of diverse faiths, ethnic origins, and race. While diversity may include different faiths, family structures, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity it is not limited to just these areas. We believe that diversity also includes the different physical, cognitive, and social abilities that each child possesses. We strive to create a developmentally appropriate classroom environment that not only reflects each child’s unique abilities, but also encompasses their home culture and experiences as well. One of the most important things that we can do to teach our children about diversity is through positive role modeling and treating all people with kindness and respect.
