Callahan Learning Center

A Structured, Supportive Early Learning Environment in Fredericksburg, VA

 

Callahan Learning Center is a licensed Virginia child care and preschool program serving  families in Fredericksburg and surrounding communities. We provide a calm, consistent, and  developmentally appropriate group learning environment for young children during their most  important early years.

Our approach is built on predictable routines, clear expectations, and strong communication  with families, creating a setting where children feel secure, supported, and ready to learn.

We believe children thrive when adults work together, expectations are consistent, and learning  happens within a structured, caring community.

Customer Stories

I absolutely love this center (locust grove). The staff is phenomenal and you can really tell they care about the kids. They aren’t just a number to them. My son has grown so much since attending this school.

— KelleAnne Surine

Absolutely the best child care great teachers and staff my son absolutely loves going he wakes up and ask if he is going to school today highly recommended!!!

— David Massey

My son has been attending Callahan for almost 2 years and he loves it. I was hesitant about daycare but have been happy since day one. The staff and teachers really care about the kids. We were so sad when Callahan had to close due to covid. I never looked to send him anywhere else. I knew we wanted to stick with Callahan. He has learned so much and come so far.

— Rachel Feindt
