About us

One World Children's Academy and Enchanted Castle Preschool are small businesses in Reno and Sparks. We are creative, collaborative, inclusive and our goal is to provide a quality early childhood education program for infants through Pre-Kindergarten. We focus on the social, emotional, motor, language, and intellectual development of the child. Our centers provide a safe, positive environment that gives all children the opportunity to explore, create, and learn while feeling successful. We believe children are unique individuals that have different learning styles and learn in a variety of ways. It is our belief that children learn and grow through opportunities to play, experience, and explore individually and in groups. Our centers treat all children with love and respect. We want every child to love learning and to be excited to come to school. Our centers believe that the teachers and parents need to work together in an open, positive way through communication to benefit the child. Our priority is for the children to learn, grow, and be happy and successful in school.

• Casual work attire
