At SandCastles Child Care, we nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence in every child. Our preschool provides a safe, stimulating environment where young learners thrive, while our before and after-school programs offer enriching activities that keep growing minds engaged, no matter the time of day.
Whole Child
We embrace a whole child approach, recognizing that every aspect of a child’s development—social, emotional, cognitive, and physical—is essential to their success. We focus on nurturing not only academic growth but also emotional resilience, social skills, and physical well-being. By providing a well-rounded, supportive environment, we ensure that each child is empowered to reach their full potential, both in and out of the classroom."
Power of
youth voice
We believe in the power of youth voice to shape our learning environment. By actively listening to our students, we create lesson plans that are inspired by their interests and passions, ensuring that each child feels heard and valued. At the same time, we maintain a strong focus on age-appropriate academics, blending creativity with core learning to support the development of essential skills in a way that resonates with every child."
A mission to
make a difference
Our mission is to empower young individuals to become economically self-sufficient adults who cultivate inner peace and love, build strong and healthy relationships with family and peers, and actively contribute to the well-being of their communities. We are committed to facilitating a sustainable environment where both children and staff feel safe—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually—ensuring a foundation for growth and well-being for all.

What parents are saying
"My daughter has been going to Sand Castles for about a year a now and she loves it! The staff is super friendly and caring. The one service i must say that is super helpful to me is that they will take and pick up my daughter from school. And they have a summer program there where they have water play and different things going on every week of the summer. Just so happy and lucky to have found Sand Castles. Thank you to the staff for being so great!"
