The Children's Castle provides an atmosphere of love and acceptance where children are given the opportunity to express themselves and explore their environment.

Each child is treated as an individual stimulated with experiences and materials to encourage growth at his or her own rate.

Our primary goal is to give each child the opportunity to develop a positive self-image to reach his or her potential under the guidance of caring adults trained to work with young children.

Staff members are experienced early childhood educators and are certified by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care. The majority have degrees in early childhood education.
