Harvest Preschool Hiatus

Sadly, Harvest Preschool is closing for the 2020-2021 school year. The Oregon Department of Education released safety standards to prevent the spread of COVID-19 for preschool-age children, and we find that we are unable to meet their social distancing requirements.


This is VERY disappointing for the 30 children, their families, the teachers, and the other volunteers who pour into this program every school year. We are grieving the temporary loss of a special ministry here at Harvest. Please pray with us for an end to COVID-19 and hope for a new start for our little preschool. If you have any questions, please contact Janell Trapp HERE.

Harvest Preschool

Harvest Preschool operates as a ministry of Harvest Community Church.  Our purpose is to support your family by providing a safe, loving and Christ-centered learning environment where your child is valued as a wonderful creation of God.  In partnership with parents, our goal is helping children to know they are loved by God and that they can know, love, worship, follow and serve Him.  We provide experiences that will develop a love of learning, creativity, character and social development, academic readiness and life skills. 

  • Janell Trapp, Director and Lead Teacher

    I love preschool students, picture books, paint, scissors, glue and playing Duck, Duck, Goose!

    I am happily married and have raised two daughters who are now adults. My college-age daughter attended Harvest Preschool the first year it was open. I have been teaching at Harvest Preschool most years since, starting as an assistant teacher and then most recently as Director and Lead Teacher.

    It brings me deep joy when students learn and understand that Jesus loves them and that they can talk to Him. It is a lifelong gift that I love being a part of.


  • Kris Burkhardt - Assistant Teacher

    Teaching is my passion. I have been a substitute teacher in the Hillsboro School district since 2008, while my daughter Chevelle was in school. She just graduated from Faith Bible. I believe God has a plan and I am BLESSED to be part of the Harvest Preschool family. 

     

    For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
