About The Magical Years
Our Vision
Together, we will empower our school family to find the sparkle and magic in educational experiences that inspire love for a future generation.
Our Philosophy
The Magical Years Early Learning Center provides educationally based programs in a safe, nurturing environment that considers the needs of the “whole child” physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively. We strive to foster an inclusive atmosphere, where everyone is welcomed as part of our school family. Our research-based curriculum aims to build on a child’s natural curiosity and problem-solving abilities, while laying the foundational skills necessary for future success.
We do not discriminate in providing services to children and their families on the basis of race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, marital status, sexual orientation, disability or national origin.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a learning environment that nurtures and allows all children to expand their individual potential through developmentally appropriate educational experiences.

The Importance of the Arts
Everything a child does, before he has learned to imitate others, is creative. The more the adult can preserve and cultivate the child’s natural creativeness, the more enjoyable all his activities will be. (Mettler, 1979)
We at the Magical Years feel as though the arts are the core of education. Movement, Music, and Visual Art as an educational modality enrich children in a variety of ways. It not only educates children physically, emotionally and intellectually, but it also builds self confidence and integrity. The arts leave no child left behind and we hope that you too can be a part of your child’s involvement in the arts. We encourage parents to join us for a period of time during the day so that you can see for yourself the benefit’s the arts have for your children.
