A special thank you to our own Silver Stepper (Nayara) from United South High School for spending time with our school-age children at Once Upon A Time Learning Center, LLC Center today! She led a fun dance activity, taught a few dance techniques, and wrapped up the afternoon with bonding games that brought lots of smiles and summer fun. We appreciate her dedication, leadership, and positive impact on our children!

Great summers don't happen by chance.....they happen through positive guidance, clear communication, and encouragement! βοΈπ
Our school-age children are learning responsibility by helping care for their outdoor environment. Through positive reminders, praise, and encouragement, children are guided to pick up after themselves and take pride in a job well done. When expectations are clear and efforts are celebrated, learning and fun go hand in hand!

Celebrating 1οΈβ£1οΈβ£ Beautiful Yearsππππππππππππ
Today we celebrate 11 years of Once Upon a Time Learning Center ..... a dream that began with faith, hard work, dedication, and above all, a deep love for God.
I still remember the moment it was just a vision in my heart⦠the desire to serve the community with more than just a daycare or preschool, but a place where children are nurtured, loved, and truly cared for. A place where parents could feel at peace leaving their little ones with us as they pursued their work and their own dreams.
Through every high and low, God has remained at the center of it all. And when He has something for you, no matter the obstacles, it will always shine.
To all of our incredible parents....thank you for trusting us with your greatest blessings.
To our amazing caregivers, Director and staff thank you for your love, dedication, and heart in everything you do.
To my husband and my daughters thank you for embracing this journey with me and standing by my side every step of the way.
And to my mother thank you for your unwavering love and for never missing a year with our special anniversary balloons.
Most of all, thank you God for your guidance, your grace, and your presence in our lives.
Hereβs to 11 yearsβ¦ and many more to come.
With Thankfulness,
Mrs. Cecilia Castillo π

πA Proud Moment for Our Learning Centers π
Today, we had the honor of representing Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Dream Learning Centers at City Hall alongside our Mayor and fellow early childhood programs for the official Proclamation of the Week of the Young Child.
This meaningful recognition highlights the importance of early education and the incredible impact it has on shaping bright futures. We are proud to stand among a community that values, supports, and celebrates our children.
We look forward to celebrating the Week of the Young Child from April 13th through April 17th, continuing to nurture, inspire, and empower the little minds entrusted to our care. πππ
Thank you to all our amazing families for the incredible support in our Fall Fundraiser 2025 for OUAT & OUAD Learning Centers!
