Holistic Christian Preschool
Our Philosophy
(the full one, yeah we're passionate about what we do; so grab a blanket and get comfy for this one!)
​Rooted in Christ, Kids Castle Christian Academy is a distinct pre-kindergarten program that values the holistic learning approach in early education. In the field of early education, we know that the first five years of life are the most critical years for human development. At Kid’s Castle, we hope to instill love, care, and respect for God, family, and learning. Scientific research proves that the ages of 0-5 are when the brain develops the fastest. At the age of 1, the brain doubles the size it was at birth, climbing to 80% at year 3, and reaching 90% by age 5. This period is the only time in your child’s life when they will make ONE MILLION synapses per second! This is when the brain begins building nerve connections for social relationships, problem-solving, communication, and of course, learning. This science is why Kids Castle is so passionate about early education! During these critical years of brain development, we promise to lay the foundation for success by using purposeful teaching to plan meaningful learning opportunities so your child can thrive in an encouraging and nurturing environment that focuses on academic goals, healthy relationships, strong social skills, and the freedom to creatively explore the world around them all while fostering a firm foundation in Jesus Christ, our Creator! Around here, we get excited about the environment as well as modeling and teaching eco-friendly lifestyles. We do this in hopes of creating a better world for ourselves and our children to grow up in. We know that as a parent, you will always be your child’s first teacher, but we want you to know how passionate and honored we are to partner with you to nurture your child to achieve their full potential in the classroom and beyond! We hope that every child who walks through our doors will develop a love for God and His creation in such a way that our community thrives because of them. Research shows that during the ages of 0-8, the ultimate form of learning is through play. Kids Castle Christian Academy believes that the integrated, holistic approach and guidance of qualified teachers allows children to explore, discover, and create successfully at every center, whether it be dramatic play, S.T.E.M., or the sensory station!
Health & Safety
We are dedicated to maintaining a sanitized and organized environment. We utilize a daily equipment check for health and safety hazards as well as a rotating classroom cleaning schedule and cleaning company during after-hours. If you see something out of place or have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to kindly advise us. We do our best to maintain a clean and fresh atmosphere, but do keep in mind that in a classroom full of tiny bodies building their immune systems, students are expected to be sick the majority of the year, especially during their first few years of school. Researcher Dr. Maria Mejia, associate professor of family and community medicine at Baylor puts it this way, “Children under six years of age average six to eight colds per year, with symptoms lasting an average of 14 days, “It’s very normal for children to contract illnesses frequently as their immune systems build.”
Suggestions for keeping illnesses at bay are the following: practicing proper handwashing, effectively covering coughs, sneezes, and proper nose-blowing, eating healthy meals with a variety of fruits and vegetables for adequate vitamins and minerals, and plenty of sleep. We encourage these practices daily as part of our program and encourage families to do the same and practice consistency at home.
We take the extra step to purifying our air by using an Enerzen Ozone Generator Industrial O3 Air Purifier Deodorizer in our facility. We also emphasize healthy habits and nutrition consistently throughout the day as part of our holistic philosophy.
Emergency Procedures include CPR, AED, and First Aid certified staff, monthly fire and emergency drills, and safety learning lessons and experiences for our students.
