Welcome to our wonderful child care center in Callaway, Florida! My name is Shannon Gilray and I am proud to be the Director of Childcare Network #115. I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor-s degree in Family and Child Sciences with a concentration of Education in May of 2013, as well as my Director-s Credential in child care management.
At our school, our mission is to provide a warm, safe environment where children are learning through hands-on exploration through HighReach curriculum. HighReach provides a fun, exciting, and rich learning environment to achieve the ultimate goal, which is making our children eager learners. In addition to growing minds, we promote growing bodies through our USDA food program meals and snacks.We accept children ranging from six weeks to twelve years, year round. During the school year, we have a challenging VPK program for any child who has turned four by September 1 of that school year. Our mission is to prepare these children for kindergarten the following year. For our school-age children, we have an afterschool program for children who attend Tyndall Elementary, Parker Elementary, or Callaway Elementary which includes to and from transportation. For our school-agers during the summer, we offer our Adventure Camp which is the perfect combination of education, discovery, and fun! Each week brings a new theme for your child-s imagination to encounter including field trips around the area to places such as WonderWorks, Zoo World, and the Florida Caverns.
We invite you and your children to come by our center to tour the building, see our busy classrooms in action, and meet our awesome, loving teachers. Every day we are accomplishing great things and learning new material; we would love for another young learner to join our family. I cannot wait to meet another leader of our future! The adventure awaits you!

“At the heart of any successful program is a curriculum foundation that not only effectively meets a full range of outcomes and objectives, but also supports teachers in a way that allows them to confidently provide new and exciting learning opportunities every day Childcare Network uses the Creative Curriculum. Creative Curriculum supports and inspires educators from a variety of educational backgrounds by providing meaningful learning experiences and support materials that promote active, playful, and authentic learning opportunities.
Creative Curriculum’s ultimate goal is for children to become competent, eager learners. Our high-quality curriculum for children ages birth to five years of age provides many opportunities for active exploration, creating powerful and positive interactions for learning.
The Creative Curriculum Approach is based upon the following principles:
A child’s development is continuous, individual, and begins at birth.
The stages of development are unique to each child.
Creating multiple connections supports current brain research for how infants and young children learn.
Interactions and relationships are at the heart of learning.
Families are truly a child’s first teachers and are an integral part of the learning community.
Learning experiences are purposeful, interactive, meaningful, relevant, active, and playful.
Curriculum is project-focused and is based in play investigation. Play is the avenue for child investigations.
The ultimate goal is for children to become ready, able, competent, and eager learners."

The staff at Childcare Network #115 is amazing. I don't even know what I would do without Miss Ashley. My children just adore her and having her there makes it easier to leave them each morning because I know they are taken care of and loved!
I like the staff! They are always happy to see my child and are helpful
My daughter and I really loved the facility and the staff. She learned so much in such a short time and often asks if she can go back. Childcare Network lives up to its motto "the working parent's best friend".
Its an awesome environment for any child! The teachers are amazing! You will be welcomed in as family as soon as you walk in the door! LOVE THEM!
