"Let the children come to me. Then He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on each of them and blessed them." 
Mark 10: 14 -16

In order to establish a positive self-concept, we believe each child needs:

• to achieve
• to belong
• to discover
• to love and to be loved
• to revere
• to trust

• emotionally
• mentally
• physically
• socially
• spiritually

Sandcastle Child Care is a Christian-oriented center where basic Christian and social values are experienced. Children from all races, creeds and religions are welcomed. We believe that each child is unique, and we will attempt to meet his / her individual needs.

We consider children's family relationships to be primary in their lives.  Our goal is to honor each child's family and find ways to work together as partners for the good of the child.

We are committed to providing children with a safe, nurturing, stimulating environment that supports their social, emotionall, physical, and cognitive growth.  We realize that our interactions with children have a profound influence on their development and learning.

Early childhood research shows that young children learn primarily through play.  Play is an essential part of childhood.  It offers the freedom children need to try out new ideas, practice developing skills, and imitate adult roles.  It allows children to learn social skills and develop friendships.  Sandcastle Child Care promotes the development of the whole child through play and we are committed to curriculum that implements this developmentally appropriate practice.
