About the Provider

Description: Creative Castle Preschool and Kindergarten strives to meet the individual needs and assist the development of children in all domains: intellectual, social, emotional and physical. We utilize the whole child and developmental approach. Research has shown that childhood has separate and distinct stages. The developmental approach means teaching in ways that match the way children develop and learn. Their growth is divided into four developmental domains: Intellectual / Cognitive growth - centers on the mind and how the mind works as children develop and learn. Social growth - centers on the development of skills for interacting with others. Emotional growth - refers to the development of self-esteem and self-control. Physical growth - has to do with development of the body and its parts.
