Description: Carousel of Learning known as Carousel Academy is a colonial two-story brick building surrounded with grass and trees set far back from any major road. The classrooms have been carefully designed and furnished to enhance the development of each child's needs. Classrooms are bright, happy, stimulating and designed to encourage the child to learn. Carousel Academy provides an infant/toddler playground and a pre-k playground so that the child can expand on their motor skills in a wonderful environment.

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.
