“I walked in 9 years ago to make enquiries for child care. I stayed for the afternoon, was offered a starting day and have never looked back. All four of my children have attended the centre and have loved it. The centre is now part of their shared childhood experiences”. - Carlijn van Baal 

“My child really enjoys the group work opportunities at Castle Glen. This year she has been particularly excited about the 'Schoolies' groups. Castle Glen has an excellent school-readiness program that is broad, interesting for the preschoolers and current in its method.” - Stephanie Reuben
