OUR PHILOSOPHY

EduCastle Childcare Learning Centre is dedicated to providing a warm, loving and positive learning environment for children. Children here are encouraged to be children; we do not believe they are small adults. The individual progress, growth, and development of every child are important to us. The environment at the Center promotes learning while having fun during the process. Through a mixture of hands-on experiences, group activities, and individual play, our children develop the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical skills necessary for all aspects of life and growth.
Parent comments and suggestions are encouraged and are taken into serious consideration as we continually adapt to new challenges. The children are not the only ones who are engaged in the learning experience - all of our staff and parents also learn from the children.

MEAL PROGRAMS

We are a nut-free facility.

We care about the health and nutrition of children in our care. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise is important for all individuals.
