Kiddie Kastle Child Care Center
About the project
Kiddie Kastle Child Care Center was founded by Meia Carter in 2015 as an in-home daycare and moved to its current location in 2020. Ms. Carter has 15 years of childcare experience and is committed to education, curriculum, engaging families, collaborting with community partners and providing children an experience that enhances their development.
Kiddie Kastle is located in Cleveland, OH and operates locations in Cleveland and North Olmsted.
LISC provided Kiddie Kastle a $573,000 acquisition loan to acquire the building it currently occupies. Kiddie Kastle has operated out of this location since 2020 and serves 77 FTE students. In addition to offering extended hours for parents, the location is Inclusive Child Care Program certified and offers students the option to learn a second language. By acquiring the building, the business will stabilize operating costs and be able to ensure its long-term presence in the community. This loan was partially funded with CDFI Fund Equitable Recovery Program funds and Wells Fargo Open for Business grant funds.
