Best of North Shore 2021 Readers' Choice Winner!

Magical Beginnings has been awarded a Best of North Shore Award (BONS) for the very first time! We were awarded the Readers’ Choice award for Play > Kids Program. 

Our exceptional teachers and staff are so deserving of this recognition for their work and their passion!

Each member of our MB family goes above and beyond to ensure a positive impact for children during the most crucial years of development. We are so proud of this award! 

Thank you for being a part of our community! 

The Skip and Shirley LaBrie Scholarship Fund will be awarded to students working on their degree in Early Childhood Education at Peabody Veteran Memorial High School.

Shirley LaBrie was not only the loving mother of Magical Beginnings’ Founder, Linda Hassapis Bonfanti, but also a huge part of our 20 year long story here at Magical Beginnings.  Without Shirley’s unconditional support of Linda’s dream and drive to create a loving and caring space for families to send their children, Magical Beginnings would not have grown to be what it is today.

 

To Donate by Check:

  • Make checks payable to ECCF/Skip & Shirley LaBrie Scholarship Fund
  • Mail or deliver to ECCF, 175 Andover Street, Suite 101, Danvers, MA 01923
