Description: At Children’s Castle, We Partner with Parents to Promote the Success of Each Child. Every day at Children’s Castle, we empower children to discover their individual gifts and talents so they can “learn early, learn well, and lead.” We are motivated by all the people-parents, families, teachers, and friends-who are vested in the life of each child trusted to our care. We are, in fact, responsible for our nation’s most important resource: Your child. We are passionate about early education and helping your child achieve his or her potential through a full spectrum of services so unique you won’t find it anywhere else. We blend learning and discovery in a nurturing, family oriented environment that addresses cognitive, emotional, and physical development as well as health and
wellness.
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.
