Supporting all children in
Inclusive Classrooms
Since 2001, we’ve proudly served as an inclusive preschool in Brandon, Florida, where children of all abilities learn and grow together. Recognizing a need for greater support in our community, we created Inclusion Palooza—the only full-day conference designed to empower families, educators, and case managers on their journey toward inclusive education.
At Castles of Imagination, our mission is to make high-quality, inclusive learning accessible to all. We serve children from age one until they are eligible for kindergarten, providing the supports, strategies, and accommodations they need to thrive alongside their peers.
Inclusion means more than just access—it means belonging.
