Welcome to Carousel Child Care Center







Carousel Child Care Center has served Anchorage families since 1968. We are licensed for up to 115 children ages 12 months through 12 years across seven classrooms, Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
Every classroom at Carousel is grounded in evidence-based, play-based learning and the Pyramid Model for Social Emotional Learning. We are a thread Learn and Grow Level 2 program actively working toward Level 3. Our curriculum is aligned with the Alaska Early Learning Guidelines and every child is known by name, supported as an individual, and given every opportunity to grow.

Staying Connected with Tadpoles
Carousel uses the Tadpoles app to keep families connected to their child’s day. Through Tadpoles you will receive real-time updates including photos, videos, daily activity reports, meal tracking, and notes from your child’s teacher. You will always know what your child did today, who they played with, what they ate, and how they are doing.
Tadpoles also serves as our check-in and check-out system. Families sign children in and out each day through the app, making drop off and pickup smooth and secure.
We invite you to visit us for a tour. Call 907-333-1231 or email sscarouselchildcare@yahoo.com to schedule an appointment.
