About the Provider
Kiddie Kastle Academy is operated by a close knit family. Unsatisfied with the existing childcare options available for their own children, they decided to open Kiddie Kastle Academy: ... a place where children receive quality care in an environment that is safe, clean, and nurturing, with endless opportunities for learning through discovery. ... a place that not only fosters a child's physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development, but that takes it a step further by teaching the basics of discipline, respect and manners as well. ... a place that understands the stress of today's lifestyle and responds by opening early and staying open late. ... a place that is even open on weekends.
