Description: We began Magical Star Preschool because of the need for a Preschool that was based on nurturing love and tender care. Parents need to know their children are being well taken care of in a safe and happy environment. Too many daycare’s have a high teacher-child ratio and not enough toys in the building for the children to learn while playing.
One of the greatest factors in a child’s life is High-Quality Childcare, a key to a bright and successful future. Magical Star Preschool is here to provide that key factor in your child’s life and to help ease your concerns as a parent that you are doing the very best for your child.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
