About Our Daycare for Infants and Toddlers in Woodland Hills
Castle Oaks Pre School is a premier daycare and preschool center located in Canoga Park, CA. Since opening our doors in 2001, we have proudly served not only the Canoga Park community but also nearby areas, including Woodland Hills, Northridge, West Hills, and Sherman Oaks. As a trusted provider of infant daycare in Woodland Hills, we welcome children ages six weeks to six years, offering a nurturing, developmentally appropriate environment for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Our Programs
Our comprehensive infant and toddler daycare services cater specifically to infants aged six weeks to two years, providing a safe, stimulating environment tailored to their unique needs. Beyond infancy, our preschool program is designed for children ages two to six. Unlike many centers that group children solely by age, we emphasize assessing each child’s skill level to inform their group placement. For example, a four-year-old child who is already reading may join an older group that matches their reading proficiency.
This approach ensures that every child receives the appropriate challenges and support as they develop. Our toddler and infant daycare programs foster growth across multiple domains, including:
• Eye-Hand Coordination
• Balance and Physical Development
• Large and Small Motor Muscle Development
• Sequential Learning
• Social Skills
• Psychological and Emotional Development
Our Educators
At Castle Oaks Pre School, we take great pride in our team of certified and experienced teachers. All staff members are CPR-certified and fingerprint-cleared, underscoring our commitment to safety and quality care. Our educators are dedicated to helping children become confident readers and problem solvers by creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. It is our mission to provide the highest level of care while fostering each child’s individual growth and development.
