    I am writing this review because I know how hard it is to find a daycare center for our biggest…read moretreasure, our children. My son attended Magical Beginnings in Wakefield from 9 months of age until 2.5. I cannot even describe how wonderful experience we had with this daycare center. I live in the area and visited around 10 centers before I picked Magical Beginnings. When I found them, there was no doubt in my heart, that this is the right place for my baby. I was right. Linda, the owner is doing an excellent job providing a high quality daycare. Miss Erin, the director is the kindest person and is always ready to help. My son's teachers were Miss Bonnie and Miss Courtney, and the substitute teacher was Miss Alicia. They are simply wonderful human beings. You can tell they really care about children. I was always relaxed to leave my son with them because I knew he was loved and safe. We are moving to another state now and he is asking to bring his teachers with us. Some additional features I really liked: * The center is always spotless, super clean * Everyone knows my child's name and says hello every time we meet * They teach really good manners to children * They do a lot of arts and crafts * They take them outside twice a day when possible * Reasonably priced The kids are very happy at Magical Beginnings. I think if one takes a visit to the center, will know what I mean. Thank you so much for everyone at Magical Beginnings to make this experience such a pleasant one for us. Special thanks to Miss Sue and Miss Kathy in the infant room, as well. You were wonderful. One happy mom

    In early 2013, I was looking for child care services for my soon-to-be-born infant starting in…read moreNovember 2013. I visited several child care centers and settled on Magical Beginnings in Wakefield because they were very close to home, well-accredited, and reasonably priced. I was told that I should reserve my spot quickly before they fill up, so I sent in my deposit + application fee of $750 in late May. The deposit is non-refundable, which I figured wasn't a problem because we had every intention of using this child care center, and I figured even if something happened, they'd probably be reasonable and refund it if they were able to fill my spot (and if they weren't able to fill the spot, obviously they should keep the money). Unfortunately, something happened, and I had to relocate out of state for work and therefore couldn't use this daycare center. That's where I had a disappointing experience with Magical Beginnings. As soon as I found out in mid June, I notified Magical Beginnings that I wouldn't be able to send my daughter there. I wanted to give them as much notice as possible so they could fill the spot with a paying customer. I had only sent in my deposit a month earlier, and was giving them over 4 months notice, so I was hoping they'd do the reasonable thing and refund my deposit. In fact, when I spoke to them on the phone, they said they had a waiting list, so clearly they'd have no trouble filling the spot. I had to ask if they'd refund my deposit. I had hoped they'd just offer without me asking, since $750 is a significant amount of money to hold from me if they didn't have a logical reason to keep it. But they didn't. And after I asked (very politely), they simply said the deposit is non-refundable. I then explained why I had hoped they'd refund the deposit (again, politely), but I was just told that it's non-refundable and that they could have the director call me. Unfortunately, I never got a call, so instead I wrote an email to the director (again, very polite) with logical reasoning as to why it would be nice if they refunded the deposit. All I got was a response that they'd refund $50 with no reasonable explanation why they'd keep $700 of my money other than "it's non-refundable." They're within their rights to keep the money, since the paperwork I signed said it was non-refundable. And if I had canceled at the last minute or they were unable to fill my slot, of course it would make total sense for them to keep the money. But I gave them lots of notice. And they have plenty of time to fill the slot (and appear to have done so). And if it's worth anything, it's not like I canceled for no reason... the job relocation was sudden and unexpected. I can't speak to how well this child care center runs on a day to day basis, but I get a really bad feeling from anyone who would keep $700 of my money without a good reason. Just really disappointed in how they conducted themselves. That's a lot of money.

    I have been a part of the Little Treasures family since 2004...both as a parent and as a…read moreteacher/administrator. As a parent, there is no where else I would have wanted my kids to develop their educations. When they went on to elementary school (in another town), I was asked (by their teachers) where they went to preschool/pre-K. I was told that they were more prepared than most of the other children in their class. Amazing! As a teacher/administrator, there is no where else I would want to work. I am the music teacher (for all 3 locations) and the after school and vacation program director. The home-like atmosphere provided at LTS is true and organic. While still professional, the teachers and administrators at LTS are intelligent, loving, kind, generous, honest, trustworthy, dependable, fun and just plain old nice! The 3 locations are all different and amazing in their own right. The programs offered at each location are well-planned, consistent, engaging and constructive. If you are looking for a positive learning experience for your child, please check out Little Treasures in Reading, Lynnfield or North Reading.

Our children have grown in so many positive ways since being there. We have always appreciated how invested the staff is in making sure the routine at home and at daycare always stays consistent. It is also very clean and organized which makes it that much more inviting!!! Thank you Little Treasures for everything! Patrick and Ashley Cassidy

They teach kindness and it shows, my son is often referred to as being extremely kind by his current (kindergarten) teacher. I believe it was due to the positive redirection and encouragement he received during preschool. The director, Ms. Lori, is so dedicated and reliable. She is also very knowledgeable and passionate about early childhood education. I don't know where she gets her energy! There is no one you can trust your children with more. The teachers are also committed and reliable, and will take great care of your children. In the three years my son attended the school, I always felt so comfortable and confident in the care he received. He loved it there ! He made lots of friends, and I even made some connections that we have maintained for play dates, etc. The other families and children were all wonderful when we attended. It's a wonderful, warm community. Thank you Children's Gathering !

    We have been incredibly happy with this preschool for our children. All of the teachers are highly…read moreskilled and dedicated to the Montessori approach to education. My children have learned so much from their incredible teachers, as well as from the other children in the program, and have made wonderful friends. Attention is paid to each child's learning style, strengths, and areas of development, and the low student/teacher ratio allows the teachers to support each child through their own learning process. Fantastic extra activities, such as music and theater enrichment, take place regularly. So happy we chose this school!

He is very active and needs to move A LOT, and he is also very bright and needs a lot of intellectual stimulation. The combination was hard for our local preschool to provide. Since going to RMS, his self-esteem has skyrocketed and he is excelling in every domain. He LOVES school and comes out every single day with a smile on his face and full of things to discuss. Since he is very advanced in his reading, his teachers provide him with extra reading tasks and works and personalized attention so that he doesn't get bored. The program genuinely appreciates the individual in each child and doesn't force them to fit into a certain mold. That being said, while individuality is very much appreciated, the school also focuses on community and working well with your peers. Children are expected to be kind and generous to their friends. All students there are called "friends" by teachers and children, and I think this terminology is important and deliberate. It is incredible the things these young children are learning in the classroom about the world around them!!! I can say with 100% confidence that my son would not be where he is today without the teachers at this wonderful school. My 3 year old is starting his first year there this fall, and we cannot wait to see what awaits him!
