Competitive Proposal Review
Following a competitive proposal review process, Michigan Tech has selected Harbor Light Early Education as the future child care provider for the center. They are a Marquette-based, locally owned early education provider with an established track record of delivering high-quality, financially sustainable early education to university-affiliated families in the Upper Peninsula.
Harbor Light submitted a strong proposal centered on creating a nurturing, relationship-based learning environment that supports the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of children. Their educational approach is a blend of Montessori and Reggio Emelia with a nature-based focus. With infant, toddler, preschool, and Pre-K classrooms, the curriculum is thoughtfully adapted to the children’s developmental stages - with all classrooms sharing the foundation of calm, intentional spaces where children’s curiosity drives learning.
Transition
We sincerely appreciate the patience, engagement, and partnership of our Little Huskies families throughout this transition process. Our shared goal remains providing a safe, stable, and high-quality child care experience for Michigan Tech families and children.
