We loved our time at Callahan Learning Center! My son adored Ms. Jamiese and Ms. Lyric — they were so patient, caring, and always made him feel special. The center itself is clean, safe, and full of fun learning activities. The only reason we had to leave was the cost, which just got too expensive for us. If the price isn’t an issue, I’d highly recommend it! I also loved how sweet everyone there is 💓
Be aware that this center does not disclose tuition rates or enrollment fees until after completing a tour. I chose to withdraw my interest for this reason alone, as it made it impossible to determine whether the program was a realistic option for our family before investing time in a visit. While this may be their policy, cost transparency is important when comparing childcare options, and this experience was disappointing.
I LOVE CALLAHAN!!! I will try my best not to make this a super long post but I have plenty to say. I have been with Callahan since my child was 2 and she is now 5! (that alone speak volumes) We attend the Maple Grove location. Why did I make Callahan my choice. It was a small in size, home feel, and not a corporation. Since making the choice I have experienced turnover with staff, policy changes, and growth. All of which have been handled professionally and with great communication. The things I appreciate most with Callahan as a whole is SPECIALIZE CARE FOR MY CHILD, ATTENTIVENESS, AND LEARNING STRUCTURE (ACTIVES)!!! I am not a easy parent by far. I am very detailed orientated when it comes to care for my child. I am a parent of a child with special care needs and her care is VERY important to me. With all this being said I would recommend you check out Callahan to see if it is a good fit for your family! I love each worker at Maple Grove. Shoutout to each of you! You do an awesome job and I am forever grateful for the love and kindness. (Haley, Lyric, Janay, Kat, Aydee, Jamiese, Kacey, Bria, Whitney, Kim, Ari) Love you all so much! Sincerely, The MOST difficult parent.
Amazing staff, amazing directors and great facility! The staff truly make it feel like a home away from home with the education the children need to be prepared for school! So happy to have found this amazing facility! A great change from these big corporations!
My child has been attending CLC at Maple Grove for almost a year and we have really enjoyed it. Just to comment on another review, there is a small turnover with staff but for the most part the core group of teachers have remained, all of which are really great with the children. Haleigh has been the director since we started, she is also very helpful and friendly. This has been a great place for my child to socialize and learn, my child has learned how to write their name and other letters, shapes, reading at basic level, and more at school. I highly recommend! Especially thank you to Miss Bria and Miss Chloe!! They are amazing teachers and treat my child very well.
