Our Philosophy

The Carlisle Kids House strives to provide excellence in care and programming within a safe and supportive environment. Children’s work is their play. Our educated and experienced teachers guide and encourage children to explore and learn through their play. Our theme-based curriculum allows for children to engage in stimulating hands on activities that foster a positive self-esteem and a lifelong love of learning. Developmentally appropriate academic skills are embedded into the programs daily activities as opposed to being presented as a singular skill. This format allows for individualized learning and presents children with the opportunity to expand on their curiosities and remain engaged in exploring and learning through teacher and self-guided activities.
