Description: Crayon Castle Child Care Center provides a safe and nurturing environment for learners. In this environment, physical/motor, emotional/social, and cognitive/language development are stimulated with a curriculum that is developmentally appropriate. Our curriculum offers activities and learning experiences that aid the child’s growth. We believe that providing children with meaningful, hands on experiences will allow children to flourish. The activities your child performs here create new meaning for them.
The growth of your child will also be supported by looking at the needs of the individuals and families. Our programs constantly strive to treat children and families of diverse backgrounds fairly and equally. We also believe that educating the child is both the role of the Crayon Castle Child Care Center and the family.
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.
