With a convenient location on Lynn Street in Peabody (near the Brown Elementary School) and a magical homey feel, this childcare center exudes warmth and is a welcoming environment for children and families. We proudly partner with families residing in Peabody, Lynn, Salem, Beverly, and Swampscott. Our Magical Beginnings Peabody Learning Center offers high-quality, nurturing child care to children ages 8 weeks to 5 years old, in our Infants, Toddlers, and Preschool Programs. Our educators care deeply about creating a nurturing environment for children to learn and grow at all ages of their development. Using a play-based curriculum, children explore new concepts through hands-on experiences. This sparks their curiosity, while fostering their emotional, social, and cognitive development.

The Phoenix School was life-changing for my son. He had really struggled at his old school, and had…read morebegun to internalize negative messages about himself. But once he started at the Phoenix School, things turned around. He came home after the first day and said, "It's like the teachers aren't even teachers--they're just people!" The caring relationship with his teachers, the community at the school, the way his teachers push him to do more than he thought he could and support him as he learns to push himself has been amazing. He loves school now and is thriving academically, socially, and emotionally. The way they integrate learning across all their activities is special. Students learn all the academic skills throughout all their activities, along with specialized practice in, say, math or writing, especially as they get older. They also use the community at large as their classroom with frequent out-of-the-classroom learning experiences that engage students far more than anything I've seen at any other school. Teachers support students as they produce high-quality work, with autonomy and ownership over their own learning. Teachers are among the most dedicated professional educators I've ever met. They work hard to create a community of students, faculty, staff, parents, and community members dedicated to the well-being and education of students as complete people. It's not possible for me to say enough good things about this school.

Choosing Peabody KinderCare has been one of the best decisions my family has made. I have the…read moreunique perspective of being both a staff member and a parent, and from both sides, this center consistently exceeds expectations. What immediately sets this location apart is how genuinely connected the leadership team is to the families. The director and assistant director greet children and parents by name each morning and take the time to check in, have meaningful conversations, and build real relationships. It's clear that they care not just about the children in their care, but about the families as a whole. The educators here are attentive, thoughtful, and deeply invested in the children they work with. They understand each child as an individual and create a supportive environment that encourages growth, confidence, and emotional development. The classrooms are calm, welcoming, and intentionally designed to help children feel comfortable and engaged. As a parent, the most meaningful part of our experience has been seeing how quickly my child has flourished. In just a few short weeks, I noticed positive changes in communication, confidence, and overall happiness. There is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is spending their day in a place where they are safe, supported, and truly cared for. Peabody KinderCare goes above and beyond what you'd expect from a childcare center. It's a warm, professional, and nurturing community.

The teachers are all so caring and attentive and they keep her so stimulated which is even better. She seemed to sleep so much at her old daycare and I wondered if she was doing anything at all during the day for her development. I can see what she is doing at daycare through pictures which are emailed two to three times a week which is very nice. The daily logs are emailed at the end of the day so there is no need for all the paper. Most of all, the facility is brand new and so clean! I had to go back to the daycare after all the kids had gone home and I could not believe how spotless it was. Definitely 2 thumbs up!

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.
