Lincoln’s only Full-time Child Care Program

Happily providing an exceptional early education and child care experience for families in Lincoln, Concord, Sudbury, Wayland, Weston and the surrounding communities.

Magic Garden Children’s Center not-for-profit preschool, was founded on the principle that children learn best by engaging in a diverse curriculum of hands-on activities. In our warm and nurturing environment, children find friendship and support as they broaden their understanding of themselves, others, and the world around them. We empower children to be confident in their individual identities, respectful of different perspectives, and aware of the rich diversity of their community and world. Magic Garden seeks to cultivate children’s natural curiosity and promote a lifetime love of learning. Magic Garden provides education and care for children ages 2 months to 5 years of age.

Our Children’s Center is located at 6 Ballfield Road, in the Hartwell building on the Lincoln Public School’s Campus. The Infant & Young Toddler Center is located at 14 Bedford Road (just 1/4 mile away) and is housed in the First Parish Church, directly across the street from Bemis Hall. The close proximities of our locations help to foster our many community partnerships and collaborations.

Magic Garden is licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC).
