Carousel Day School

At Carousel we believe that each child is endowed with his or her own individual capacities and characteristics.
Knowing each child personally enables Carousel to provide the kind of education best suited for his or her distinct needs.
Our objectives are such to include a well-rounded program which encompasses the social and academic skills necessary for a lifetime of continuous learning and adaptation.
We believe that certain criteria are essential to obtain these objectives, one very important factor being, having fun.
The results have always proven to be positive. Exercising their minds by allowing them to be creative, providing meaningful challenges, accomplishments in sports and athletic abilities are the tools provided by Carousel for independence and happiness.
We feel confident that Carousel will provide a healthy, productive and happy experience for both you and your child.
