Dear Families and Friends,

Welcome to the Early Learning Center at Mary Castle.  Thank you for allowing us to join you on this journey of growth and learning with your child!  Our early learning center has been specially designed for the young child, and you will sense this the moment you walk through the door.  From the boiler room windows to the natural objects found throughout, our school says “Come and explore, investigate, discover.” 

 Our students, YOUR children, make the early learning center come alive with their curiosity and wonderful, fresh insights into life.  The enthusiasm of the children and staff make this an awesome place to be! 

 The addition of our infant and toddler rooms is an exciting one for our early learning center…what a privilege it is to add these youngest of learners (and they will teach US so much!)

Welcome to a place that celebrates young children and strives to offer the best early childhood experiences possible.  We welcome you, our partners in education, as we embark on this journey together.  I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss celebrations of learning, as well as address questions and concerns you may have.  I look forward to our years together!

Child Care and Development Fund Participation

The Early Learning Centers are proud to participate in the CCDF program.  You can obtain more information about this process at any of the Early Learning Center offices.  The CCDF state funded program provides financial assistance for families, based on income and those who are enrolled in school or working.  If you already receive funds from CCDF and would like to attend one of our Early Learning Centers, please contact your intake agent.  They will instruct you to do a change of provider, choose one of our centers, and complete a packet.
