Our Learning Curriculum

Our play-based curriculum fosters a sense of wonder and curiosity that helps to build their self-confidence and learn important skills like being kind to others.

Starting in our Infant classrooms, our educators will nurture your child’s important phase of development through a thoughtful combination of music and movement, reading and sensory play.

As children move into our Toddler classrooms they will learn through purposeful play to foster social, cognitive, and physical development. Gross and fine motor development occur alongside music, reading, and art.

Preschoolers continue their educational journey with the introduction of “Handwriting Without Tears.” This is a developmentally-appropriate, multi-sensory methodology to introduce children to pre-writing skills and the foundation of letter formation.

Angela Jagminas

Center Director

Angela has been part of the Magical Beginnings family since 2012, beginning her journey as a Toddler Teacher at the Peabody location. After spending several years in the classroom, she later joined the Hamilton team, where she continued working with toddlers before growing into her current role as Director. Through her years with Magical Beginnings, Angela has developed a deep appreciation for early childhood education and the meaningful relationships that make a school community special.

What Angela loves most about Magical Beginnings is the sense of family she has found among her colleagues, children, and families. She takes pride in building strong, lasting relationships and creating a warm, welcoming environment where children feel loved and supported. Magical Beginnings holds a special place in her heart, as both of her daughters attended the school. For Angela, it has always been more than a workplace—it’s a home away from home.

Outside of school, Angela loves being silly with her two daughters. They’re happiest singing, dancing, and making special memories together!

As Director, Angela values supporting children, families, and educators while helping create a nurturing early childhood education environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.

Assistant Director

Miranda has been part of the Magical Beginnings family since 2022, when she began her journey at our Hamilton location as a Preschool Teacher. During her time in the classroom, she created a fun, loving, and welcoming environment where children could learn, grow, and feel right at home. In Fall 2026, Miranda is excited to begin a new chapter as Assistant Director at Magical Beginnings in Hamilton.

What Miranda loves most about early childhood education is the meaningful relationships she builds with children, families, and fellow educators. From her very first day at Magical Beginnings, she has felt welcomed and at home, and she is grateful to be part of such a close-knit community.

As Assistant Director, Miranda looks forward to continuing to support children and families, building strong relationships, and helping create a warm, nurturing environment where every child can thrive. She is excited to continue growing alongside the Magical Beginnings family and creating many more special memories along the way.

Fun Facts: Miranda loves spending time at the beach and outdoors. She recently took up fishing with her boyfriend and enjoys learning and spending time on the water. She also loves baking and makes her own sourdough bread!

Food Policy

Families provide snacks and meals for their children. We encourage healthy and diverse food options to support good nutrition, healthy growth, and a well-developed palate.

Families provide all necessary food and bottles for infants. Toddlers and preschool children bring in everything they need for a successful morning/afternoon snack, lunch, and drinks in an insulated lunchbox with an ice pack. All of our centers are nut free which means that no food items may contain traces of nuts, be processed on the same equipment as nuts, or in the same factory as food that contains nuts. Please remember to check all labels as any food that is questionable will be sent home for everyone’s safety.
