About Us
Castle Oaks Pre School is a daycare and preschool center in Canoga Park, California. We have been in operation since 2001 and we’ve continued to serve the Canoga Park communities, as well the neighboring cities such as Woodland Hills, Northridge, West Hills, and Sherman Oaks. We welcome infants and preschool-age children, from 6 weeks old to 6 years.
Our daycare is equipped to take care of infants ages 6 weeks to 2 years, while our preschool is ideal for children ages 2 to 6, While we accept children ranging between these ages, the levels of our classes or groups are not based on their age. We take a look at their skill levels and group them accordingly. If your child is 4 years old but is already reading, then he or she may be grouped with older-aged children who have the same reading skills.
Our children are placed by developmental levels rather than age within the guidelines of our program.
Each level comprises of the following learnings:
eye-hand coordination,
balance,
and physical development,
large and small motor muscle development,
sequential learning,
social skills,
and psychological and emotional development.
We are proud of our group of teachers who are all certified and experienced. They assist our children to become more confident readers and problem solvers. They are also CPR-certified and fingerprint-cleared. It is our mission at Castle Oaks Pre School to take special pride in providing only the highest level of care for our children. While we take care of them, we also enable them to grow and develop as individuals. Our philosophy is to provide an educational environment that encompasses all aspects of early childhood growth. Because we believe that all children are born different, our approach is to take into consideration their individual differences to help them grown with pride and self-realization. If you wish to visit our facility, please feel free to set an appointment so we can assist you further. We are located at 6739 Corbin Avenue, Canoga Park, 91306, California.
