About Aladdin's Castle Learning Center, Inc.
Aladdin's Castle Learning Center Odessa
Aladdin’s Castle has served the Odessa community since 1993, providing a structured environment for children ages 4 weeks to school-age. The program emphasizes academic readiness through a blend of Scholastic’s “Big Day for PreK,” Texas School Ready, and Hooked on Phonics curricula. Daily activities include thematic units, circle time, and social-emotional development, all delivered in a space designed to feel like a home away from home. The facility features dedicated rooms for various age groups, including the "Tiny Hiney" infant room and specialized preschool classrooms. Beyond academics, children enjoy physical activities on a large playground and optional enrichment classes like ballet and fitness. For school-age children, the center provides transportation from 13 local elementary schools, afternoon snacks, and dedicated homework support time.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
This place is horrible. I had my child in there for 1 month before removing him. My child required a specific type of milk and I provided it the first day. A few weeks later i check the daycare''s fridge to see if i needed to buy more and they had not even opened it. This resulted in 2 ER visits because my son digestive system got all messed up. My child got bit twice within a 2 week period by the same child. I was not even notified the second time that he was bit by personnel, i had to find the bite mark on him and go back to the daycare and asked what happened. No stars for this facility. It is horrible.
Definitely recommend Aladdin’s! We have been there for years with no complaints. My kids love their teachers in every move up and their learning has always grown.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Aladdins and all of the staff it takes to keep this place moving!!! My youngest has been attending Aladdins for about 5 yrs, give or take, and I couldn't be more satisfied by the care and the learning curriculum they implement. Thank You Aladdins!!! ❤️
My son was enrolled here from 10 weeks old until 6 months old. We only had experience with the infant room but we LOVED our teachers. Miss Charlotte, Miss Ana and Miss Mary will always hold a special place in our hearts! The front desk staff was always nice and inviting as well. The only reason we took him out was to move across the country, otherwise we would still be there!
We brought my son here from an infant to almost 3 and moved to Colorado for 3 years. Now that he is school age, we only need Aladdin's on holidays but, the first time we walked in there after all of those years, they welcomed us back and greeted us by name like we never left! Almost the entire staff was there that had been there when we left, which says a lot in an oilfield community. Also, my sister in law has had at least one child here every year, for the last 11-12 years and still loves this place. Everyone here is great and loves your child like they were their own. I have always felt comfortable leaving my son here, and sometimes he's been here from nearly open to close. He loves it too! Thank you to Miss April, and her entire staff. Y'all rock!
