About the Provider

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.
