Magical Beginnings River Academy

"Worst owner (Linda Haspiss) ever. Fees were collected for over 2 months during the pandemic while the center was providing nothing due to all centers being closed. When the centers opened again these fees were not credited back to the families. The Owner informed all families that Magical beginnings was approved for the PPP loan. Soon after they were able to open a new MB location in Beverly that was paid for by families paying but receiving nothing from MB along with the PPP money from the Tax payers. This business was able to expand during the pandemic, while other business's were closing for good Magical Beginnings was thriving thanks to pure greed by Linda Haspiss."

"I have worked at the MB Wakefield location and now the MB River Street location in Middleton and they both have been the best work experiences I've been apart of. The staff is always so friendly and inviting and I've grown so close to all of the families that have been in and out of my classrooms. Magical Beginnings is one of the cleanest, safest, most fun early education centers I have worked at and I highly recommend sending your children here! (And working here)"

"The River Street Magical Beginnings location is absolutely amazing. My son started in September and my other child will be joining next month. The teachers and staff have all been truly delightful to work with. The two directors, Courtney and Melissa, are SO responsive and caring. They are always there to help accommodate whatever situation arises. My oldest son was delayed in speech so went through the Early Intervention program, and his EI teacher said that this school and it’s staff are the most impressive daycare that she has been in. And she has many to compare it to! I have noticed such an improvement in my son since he joined MB on River Street. He LOVES going to school and is so excited to see all of his teachers and classmates each day. I honestly feel as though every teacher and aide are truly wonderful – we have had so many positive experiences in every room he’s been! I can’t say enough good things, and feel so comfortable leaving my child in the hands of everyone there each day. Thank you MB staff for treating my son like one of your own!"

"We have been at Magical Beginnings for a little over two years now. We first moved our oldest there right before he turned two years old and 2 weeks before my second was born. The transition was quick as a schedule change at our old daycare was made suddenly and I panicked over so much change for him. We first met with Linda and then courtney, Amber, Laura and Erin who would be our boy’s teachers. As soon as we walked into the door there I felt comfortable. Our oldest did so well with the transition and was excited to go every day. They even accommodated last minute schedule changes when we had to stay in the hospital longer with my second.The teachers have always treated my kids like their own and my kids genuinely love going there. Every staff member is always welcoming and smiling. They’ve become family to us. I don’t know if I thank them enough for the support they give my husband and I, but we are so grateful to have found Magical. Thank you to everyone that works there but a special thank you to Courtney, Laura, Erin , Amber, Jen, Katy, Ali and Sophia! Highly recommend!"

"I truly can't say enough positive things about the experience our family has had with MB River Academy. Our son now 17 months has been going there since he was an infant and we have second child starting soon. We have LOVED all of his teachers, assistant teachers & management. Anytime we have questions/concerns we hear back immediately from either the Director or Assistant Director to address. Everyone at MB feels like a second family to us and our son."
