Description: Kindercastle is our largest and longest running facility. It opened in 1984 and is the first 24Hour center in Midwest City. It is also the first center in Midwest City to become a 3 Star facility and has been since 1999. The continued success of the program has allowed us to care for multiple generations as parents who once attended when they were children, now bring their children to Kindercastle as well.
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.

Any negative reviews toward this facility are comments made from parents who are upset about not being compliant with the centers regulations and DHS. No card swipe, no stay! You would not expect Walmart to give you an oil change today and pay tomorrow!
I first entered this facility with open arms. I was given a tour, asked about my children and what I liked and did not like. Upon entering the center I noticed how great it smelled! It did not have that "daycare musk". I loved the open concept with the glass walls (there are solid walls as well) and the decorations in each room are unique and change frequently based on the theme such as, cubby hole covers, curtains, rearranging the room. I have been asked for family photos to make a collage from which I loved. The art is wonderful! Even my infant at the time who was just a few months old was able to participate! My children come home CLEAN, HAPPY & with big smiles on their faces. The teachers are welcoming and know our names and always say, "Hello!" There are enough toys that each child can play and there is no fighting because there is 1 doll. They food actually looks homemade and smells good! This is a great place to leave your kids while you pursue your career. They take pride in their center and if you cannot follow the rules, do not come. They are not in business to bend the rules and if your wise enough to understand it you would be grateful. Know that they care for the health and safety of your child and others! And just some feed back on the previous director comment, she is VERY approachable. She is a busy women and runs a tight ship. She handles problems and concerns immediately. If you ask anything of her, I know she will see to it.
The school age teachers are horrible. They don't pay attention to anything the kids are doing and a lot of the time the classroom is completely crazy with kids yelling and running around everywhere. Another thing is if you expect the teachers to speak to you it is not going to happen at this facility. There are times I can go in and nobody will speak including the director. It is absolutely horrible there.
This daycare is by far the best in Midwest city but I have had problems with some of the management and the dhs procedures. they seem to think that they override what dhs policy's are which is an issue for example I had my mom drop off my son one morning because I was put in the hospital and she had to go to work, well I had the card and they would not allow her to drop him off because of the stupid card. the issues with swiping and swiping out are ridiculous. other than that though my son seems to like it and hes in the toddlers and about to move up to older toddlers
