Our Philosophy

​    Kids Castle Christian Academy is a unique, eco-conscious, Christian pre-kindergarten program that values the holistic early learning approach in education. This form of early education places an emphasis on fostering ingenuity, social-emotional intelligence, and resilience, as well as setting the foundation for important life skills like problem-solving, creative thinking, and social skills. In the field, we preach that the first five years of life are vital for human development. Scientific research proves that during this period, the brain develops the fastest, forming ONE MILLION synapses per second! This fascinating and extraordinary process only happens once in the human lifetime—during these first five years is when the brain is most able to rapidly develop neural connections for communication, relationships, and of course, learning. During these early years, children really are little sponges! At the one-year mark, the brain doubles the size it was at birth, climbing to 80% at year 3, and reaching 90% by age 5.
 

This science is why Kids Castle is so passionate about early education! During these critical years of brain development, we strive to lay the foundation for success by using purposeful teaching to plan meaningful learning opportunities for each one of our students, so that they may thrive in an encouraging and nurturing environment. Our program is designed to support and expand on children’s intellectual minds to reach academic goals, form healthy relationships, develop strong social skills, and grow in the freedom to creatively explore the world around them. At Kid’s Castle, we aim to instill love, care, and respect for God, family, and learning. We believe in the ministry of fostering a foundation in our Creator and teaching the love of Jesus to children at an early age, supporting their spiritual growth. Our goal is for every child who walks through our doors to develop a love for God and His creation in such a way that our community thrives because of them. Kids Castle Christian Academy interconnects this holistic approach with a mission to educate the future of our community in conservation ecology. At Kids Castle we practice ecological mindfulness in efforts to teach children and their families about our connection to the natural world, our impact, and how to conserve it. We pride ourselves on basing our teaching strategies and techniques on evidence-based science and statistics. Research shows that during the ages of 0-8, the ultimate form of learning is through play. Kids Castle Christian Academy believes that play in a developmentally appropriate environment, with the intentional guidance of qualified educators, allows children to soar to new heights at every learning center. We know that as a parent, you will always be your child’s first teacher, but we want you to know how honored we are to come alongside you on this journey of nurturing your child into achieving their full potential in the classroom and beyond!

Health & Safety

Health and Safety is our TOP priority. We have an

on-site environmental specialist who sanitizes and cleans all day, every day. 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. In addition, we emphasize healthy habits and nutrition consistently throughout the day as part of our holistic philosophy.

Emergency Procedures include PEARLS, CPR, AED, and First Aid certified staff, monthly fire and emergency drills, and safety learning lessons and experiences.
