I was…read moreskeptical with the whole daycare idea since I am a new mother and it is my first born but I was eager to get back to work and choose the right environment for my child to learn and develop milestones along the way. Little beginnings welcomed my child and I by giving us a tour of the daycare and telling us about the enrollment process. They made sure to point out their cleaning and sanitation process as you may know kids can spread germs easily and they also showed me where they would have snack, nap, and play time. They have different classes for all ages which is great. I would recommend for those who are new to the daycare experience and ask for a tour.

Over the past two years our daughter has grown in leaps and bounds through a high quality education and a variety of friendships with classmates.

I really cannot say enough about Amys Cozy Corner! My…read moredaughter has been going here for about 1 1/2 years. She started off in the infant room with Maria, who was so amazing with her.. My daughter cried almost every time I picked her up to leave! She then transitioned to the toddler room but still tried to sneak down the hall at drop off to Maria's room for the longest time! Now, she is just over 2 years old and can recite her ABCs, count to 20, almost spell her 8 letter name, loves to "read" and "write" and recite any nursery rhyme you can think of! However the main reason I felt compelled to write this review was when she started to count backwards from 10! Perfectly every time! I scrambled to look up this stage of learning online and found out it was common for four year olds! Of course my daughter is the smartest one of all! But truly this is 100% because of the learning received at Amys Cozy Corner. She loves going to school each day and I have 100% confidence leaving her here. Almost always, Amy is in the toddler room singing to a captivated audience of toddlers. The staff are amazing, consistent, fair and really care about teaching these kids, not just babysitting. I have stacks of amazing art work that comes home every day and I love the fun activities they plan for the kids; most recent was Pancake Tuesday where Mari dressed like a chef and cooked pancakes for the kids! The outdoor play space is great, safe and big enough for the kids. They are great at accommodating my crazy schedule when I'm running late. They are flexible when I need an extra day of care but always check to make sure they have enough staff to cover. If you're considering Daycare in Marblehead, look no further!

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.

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.
