Little Castle provides care to Artesia and the surrounding area, and currently has 86 children ages six weeks to twelve years of age enrolled. We are currently on CACFP which helps provide funding for two meals and one snack per day, per child. We are a FOCUS 4-star program which means we are held to exacting standards regarding teacher/child ratios, providing observations and having qualified teachers for each classroom. Little Castle is the only FOCUS 4-star program in Eddy County.
Little Castle offers early care, in-house Pre-K and extended care with curriculum and play based learning experiences. Parents can view their child’s development and daily activities though our Tadpole© software. We offer a private mother’s nursing room. Little Castle also participates in the New Mexico Pre-K program. We are now encouraging our teachers to participate in the New Mexico CYFD scholarship, furthering their education and professional development.
The mission of Little Castle is to provide an exemplary learning environment where every child will grow to be a creative thinker and develop a love of learning.
