Our story
Where Castle kids are family.
Castle's Daycare Academy was built on one belief: when children feel loved, known, and challenged, they rise. That's the Castle promise.
A place where every child is a Castle kid.
Our director Cynthia Knight set out to build the kind of center where children don't just pass time — they grow, learn, and become part of something warm and real.
Today, every child who walks through our door becomes part of the Castle family. Parents are partners, teachers are invested, and kids leave us above grade level and ready for what comes next.
The values behind every day.
Castle family first
Every child and family is welcomed as part of our Castle community from day one.
Academic ambition
We aim for every Castle kid to be above grade level when they reach the school system.
Joyful learning
Real growth happens through play, curiosity, and hands-on discovery — not drills.
Royal garden & outdoor time
Fresh air, nature, and the garden are part of our daily rhythm.
Partnership with parents
We're an extension of home — in constant, open conversation with your family.
Safe, always
Rigorous safety standards so you can breathe easy and trust us with what matters most.
How we grew.
One room, one promise
Castle's Daycare Academy opens its doors with a simple mission: nurture Charlotte kids above grade level.
A growing Castle family
More rooms, more children, and more Charlotte families who call us home.
Still growing
Every Castle kid who walks out our door walks into school ahead of the curve.
Educators who treat every child as their own.
Cynthia and her team are early-childhood specialists — certified, caring, and endlessly patient.
