Description: Where childcare and child education is a passion! We aim to prepare your child for the future. Not only do we concentrate on child care and education, but we are also determined to provide an environment in which your child can learn good traits and mannerisms. Your child will become a well-rounded individual ready to play their part in society. In the current competitive world, the future "grown up" will need to be multi-skilled. We strongly believe that children need to be exposed to various skills at very early stages. Kinder Kastle's philosophy is developed with the child's future in utmost regard.
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.
