Early childhood education focuses on inspiring a love for learning, developing essential skills, and nurturing each child's unique potential in a supportive and stimulating environment.
We believe that all children are unique individuals who develop and learn in diverse ways. Our primary objective is to create a nurturing environment that promotes learning and allows children to safely explore their own individuality.
Our motto is “Raising the Standard” because that’s exactly what we strive to do. We strive to raise the standard of care and school readiness skills by successfully merging education with fun and stimulating activities for children of all ages.
Our School
Castle Hill Academy is a 5,500 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility located in Lake City, Florida. Our building features five classrooms and a cafeteria with a fully functioning kitchen for the preparation of daily meals. Our spacious lobby opens into a secure hallway which is accessed only by electronic permission to parents and staff. The two-car portico offers convenience for drop off and pick up. We also pride ourselves in having technologically advanced security systems which ensure the safety of our children in the building and on the playground.
Our Programs
We offer a range of programs to meet the needs of children from infancy through school age. Our programs include infant and toddler care, preschool, before and after-school care, and summer camp.

The teachers here are amazing—so kind, patient, and thoughtful. They’re always professional, caring, and great at keeping families informed. I really appreciate how supportive they’ve been to both my son and our family. Highly recommend!
Absolutely love CHA! My boys have been going for years and now my daughter goes. Every teacher has made a huge impact in our lives and I intend to send them until the age out! They’ve become family ❤️
We love Castle Hill! We are going on four years of our kids attending there. We love so many of the staff, they have become like family! Charity, Chrissy and Amy were amazing for our little one in the VPK room. They have lots of hand on activities to keep your babies learning and busy no matter what stage they are in.
