Infant Program

Staff members are specifically trained to work with children 6 weeks to 16 months and know the importance of a loving, caring, nurturing environment.  Communication of progress and/or concerns is provided to parents daily.

Toddler Program

Toddlers are given the guidance needed to develop social/emotional skills and creative expression as well as sensory stimulation, language development, small and large muscle skills, and increasing cognitive skills.

Preschool Program

The preschool program continues the child's development of social / emotional development, language development, cognitive, and physical skills through an environment introducing freedom within limits. This environment fosters an inner discipline gained from making choices, thereby developing independence, self-motivation, and increased creativity.

At Sandcastle Early Learning Center, we collaborate closely with St. Paul Public Schools to offer on-site Preschool Screening. For children with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) or those receiving Birth to 3 services, we work in partnership with the district and families to provide these services during the day at our center.

We partner with Health Care Consultants for Child Care to maintain our health and safety standards. This RN service conducts monthly visits to our programs, providing essential updates on illness prevention and health care policies. They assist us in staying compliant with licensing requirements and keep us informed about current health issues and best practices to prevent the spread of illnesses within our community.

A loving, highly skilled team

This is NOT a "job", this is a Mission!  That is a fundamental concept that our center believes in.  We only seek out Teachers and support staff that understand the critical role they play in shaping the future.  Many of our staff have been in their classrooms for decades.
our team
With a strong tie to the Church, we partner with several amazing Faith-based resources to offer best practice in supplementing our core curriculum.  We feel that the the secular standards (of which we are ranked top!) are only the starting point to dream bigger.
