Description: Magic happens in the minds of the young and old, once inside the castle walls. I have a professionally developed program to open the passageways of the imagination to create fanciful play experiences that will enrich the lives of all children. At the castle, we work hard to create a safe, clean, and quality environment. It is enriched with an abundance of visually stimulating chambers, to help the children discover, discuss, and become a part of their world through age appropriate challenges that encourage their minds to take flight, all in an atmosphere of fun.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

In a few short months, your child will be reading and writing and will be well ahead of CMS Kindergarten program. By the time my now 4 year old starts CMS next Fall 2014, I have no doubt her math and reading skills will be on a 1st grade level.
