The Castle Foundation has a long history of supporting educational initiatives that lead to better teaching, better facilities, and better outcomes for children. With a belief that high-quality early education is fundamental for giving children and families the best chance for equal educational opportunity, the Foundation focuses on fostering substantial academic results and healthier lifestyles through excellent preschool education.
The Castle Foundation Grant supports independent preschools in their efforts to achieve or maintain accreditation through recognized educational agencies such as NAEYC, HAIS, WASC, NECPA, and WINHEC. The foundation believes that accreditation status is a significant quality indicator, benefiting both teachers and students by potentially allowing schools to charge higher tuition, which in turn supports fair compensation for teachers.
