I’ve been working at castles of imagination for over 15 years. I love all the teachers that I work with. They truly care about the children and want to see them succeed in life. All of my kids went to castles of imagination. As a parent I would not choose any other school. I’m grateful for all the teachers that have not only loved and taught my children, but also shaped them into great human beings.

I love this place. Ms. Julie is amazing as well as Ms. Tina. I love them both. This place is like a school and the teachers and director are very professional. I love being able to drop my special needs daughter off and not worry about her. I wish I would have found this place a lot sooner. I definitely recommend sending your child here.

As teacher at this school, I am passionate about what I do. I love all of my students and go to great lengths to make sure all their emotional,educational, and physical needs are met. In fact, I strive to go above and beyond with innovative strategies to make sure every child has the chance to succeed. If you are looking for a preschool that will set your child up for success in life , this is the school for you. We are a family, and we are always looking to expand our family.

Castles of Imagination has been an absolute blessing to our family. Our little guy has grown and thrived since he began attending. The curriculum is fantastic, while still giving each child the room to grow at their pace. From the garden to the special activities, from the seasonal and holiday extras, the lessons are integrated into everything they do! I love that he is learning inside and outside his classroom! Miss Tina has been kind and wonderful to our family since our first tour! His teachers are wonderful, loving and patient educators! Every staff member is friendly and welcoming, and we are so thankful!! Since his first day, he has consistently told us “I love my school so much!” To all of you at COI, THANK YOU all for loving our little guy and helping him grow!!!

I absolutely love this school! My daughter attended a daycare before I enrolled her here and it was terrible. She has thrived since being here with Miss Elizabeth and all of her other teachers! She comes home happy and talking and singing new songs every day. Everyone is so lovely and I can tell my little girl feels comfortable and loved while she is in their care. I tell all of my mommy friends about this daycare center.

As a teacher at Castles of Imagination I take great pride in what I do. I love all my children and have great patience in showing them a great education from ABC to colors in Spanish and English. We are family oriented and all teachers here join together in every aspect. We are a family.

I have volunteer there during the summers for a few year now. I have respect towards ALL the teachers there. They have a lot of patients with the children. Some could be stubborn at time and one thing I learned from Castles of Imagination and staff is that they don’t say the word “No”. Instead they reinforce positive redirection! 😍

Would not recommend this center to anyone. If you are going to put your child in vpk, i would recommend a different center. There is no structure at all what so ever. when ever i would pick up my son the staff was constantly on their phone. Very disappointed on the very little that my child has learned in this center.

I love COI! The staff is amazing! I am a mom of 5 and have had all 5 of my children at COI over the last 10 years. They truly go above and behind. I dont think of coi as a day care, its a school, its family.

I do not recommend this daycare to anyone every time I would drop off or pick my son up his teachers were always on their phones not paying any attention to the children also if your child is in vpk I do not recommend my son hasn’t learned anything from going here he can’t even write his own name yet, He also came home one day and told me that his teacher hit him twice on the arm and when I tried to speak with the director about it she was to busy to speak with me. They will rip you off when it comes to money I found out that he should have been given a vaulter for vpk that the state pays for ,for half the day 7:30am to 11:30am and if my child were to be there full time I would be responsible to pay the rest they never once told me about this they have been over charging me I should have been paying 95$ a week what they charge for a full time vpk child and I was paying 160$ then they raised it to 165$ a week then they tried to tell me I owed them money so my boyfriend not thinking gave them 180$ one week and when I proved my Receipts to them they we didn’t owe anything the director told me I was wrong and it didn’t matter what my receipts said mind you that they wrote out and gave me I still some how owed them money! I have since then pulled my son out of this daycare I do not recommend this place to anyone!

Castles of Imagination is a very great preschool. I have worked here for over 10 years and both of my children have attended here as well. Infants to VPK. and to mention how smart they are now both in honors and AGP classes. The teachers love and care for each child as if he/she was our very own. Most of the teachers have been working here 10+ years. We have great communication skills with the parents. There are lots of family events that take place at COI for the holidays that are so much fun. I would recommend Castles of Imagination to anyone who is looking for a safe and loving atmosphere for their child/children COI rocks!!

I have been with Castles of Imagination for a combined total of 5 years. Starting with my first born attending VPK and childcare , and currently with my 2nd child who has been attending since she was an infant and now as a toddler. From the very beginning Tina and her crew ensured my childrens education and safety, never leaving me any doubts when I leave them in their care. Tinas crew really cares and it clearly shows. They spend time with each child and easily accommodates each childs unique personality. They are extremely patient and inclusive to high/special needs children. As stated above my first child attended VPK here. She went from knowing nothing to excelling in most of the necassary areas that needed to be met. I am very happy to have Tina and her amazing crew of women in my life, I couldnt ever consider going with another childcare provider. As long as you respect them and respect Tinas policies, then you shouldnt have any problems. Thank you ladies for taking such great care of my children, you have filled in the gap that formed while I am so far from my family.
