about us Magic Garden offers a year-round program five days per week from 7:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., excluding holidays and the last week of August, which is used for professional development. The school operates on a 12-month calendar, beginning in September and ending in August. Holiday dates are announced at the start of the each school year.We offer four integrated classrooms including toddler, preschool and pre-kindergarten programs to children ranging in age from 18 months through 5 years old.

We believe that offering more teachers per student than the state requirements currently mandate greatly contributes to the quality of our program. In our pre-school and pre-kindergarten rooms we employ 3 teachers for 15 students – a ratio that is considerably stronger than many other pre-school or child care programs.

The curriculum in each room reflects the interests and developmental level of the class. As the children master new skills the curriculum changes, continually offering new challenges and discoveries throughout the year. The curriculum is supplemented by leveraging the large number of facilities and other resources available both on campus and off campus.

The factors determining a child’s classroom placement include:

  • child’s age
  • makeup of the class
  • views of the parents, Director and classroom teachers

The majority of children transition from one classroom to the next either at the end of June or the beginning of September.
