I have been going to kids castle since my oldest was three years old now all of my boys are attending and they love going to class every single day. The teachers are awesome through out the whole daycare. The activities they do, cooking projects, music days with Mr. Ken, swim days... And all the family holidays they have are well set up.the pre k classes at the end of the year is just great I have watched 3 of my boys graduate and it always brings tears to my eyes to see how much all the kids have grown since they were little 💜 Every day is something new. I also been working here for 9 years

This daycare started out good. Ms. Julisa was my son's teacher. He was doing great up untill she moved up to supervisor. Everyday I would pick my son up he was in a different class room , with a different teacher. They would constantly have new staff coming in and out of the daycare, some girls look young and where very unprofessional! The bathrooms are shared with all the kids and are very dirty, they have urine on the floors and Mudd as well. My son was I believe mistreated by staff I got 3 calls in a row for me to come pick him up. The last call I got the staff where yelling at him and they

My granddaughter started at Kid's Castle when she was 2.5 years old and she remained in the same facility until May of 2016 when she turned 11. I was continually impressed with the commitment and professionalism of the staff at Kid's Castle. I always knew that my granddaughter was safe and well loved by her teachers and caregivers. Additionally, my granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed her time at daycare.
I would recommend Kid's Castle to any family looking for a quality environment for their child.

I've been taking my child to Kids Castle for years and spent thousands of dollars. I was a week a half late which I advised them I would pay Friday which is tomorrow. They didn't let my child attend school and I had to call into work. They have no sympathy for working families and Pam 'the director' hides behind her hard working employees. I don't recommend Kids Castle to anyone. They couldn't even wait one day to get the payment. Horrible customer service.

I had 2 of my children at this childcare, 1 started when she was 3 and ended when she was in the 5th grade. They were wonderful and carrying. Those that work there would bend over backwards for any of the children and if ever there were any issues the director had an open door policy. Both my daughter's still go back and visit when they can, because they are one big family. With cameras in every room as well as a secure door that you need a passcode to get in, I would recommend this place to anyone.

On the surface this place looks great. They have a swimming pool, they have a chef that makes all the food. Everyone seemed very nice. My son started at 14 months. First red flag, they put one year olds in front of the TV. I'm not sure how often. Then they moved him to the older room without telling me. He really like the two women that were in the first room, even though there would up to 5 different people a day watching the room. Sometimes they would be waiting for more help to show up and there would be 8 kids in a room with one person. They would shuffle them between the older room and the

I had my children in Kid's Castle from the time they were small 6 week old babies. You can stop by at anytime unannounced and see what's going on. They also have cameras throughout the facility so if you want to know something specific they can show you. In the 6 years they were taking care of my girls we had many many positive experiences. As my children grew Kid's Castle grew with them. They have a great Pre K program where both kids knew how to count, their alphabet and how to spell their names. Kid's Castle taught them manners and how to swim. The field trips as they got older were great. They

According to their advertised program on their website, they promote their pre-k educational program to include all elements necessary to prepare children for entry into kindergarten. While they are a private pay institution, they also receive funding from the state Children Youth and Families Department (CYFD) program for their day care services, but not receive funds for the pre-k educational program. This results in an unregulated educational environment. When confronted with the facts that they poorly delivered services in preparing our child for kindergarten, they chose to redirect the

Kids Castle has been nothing but wonderful for me and my niece! She loves to come to school everyday and has so many friends here! Ms. Angie cooks wonderful food for the kids and cant forget PIZZA DAY! :) Ms. Pam is always willing to help with the parents, staff members, and most importantly the kids! They make you feel like family and have warm welcoming hearts. I HIGHLY recommend bringing your child here where you know they are safe and well taken care of. They also offer drop in tours you do not need to make an appointment so go check it out!
