Where the MAGIC started...
Humble Beginnings
The Magic Years Childcare began back in 2002 as an at home childcare center when Antoinette & Delores Cooper had a dream to serve their community and support children's education. Antoinette started out providing childcare services to family and friends in her home. News spread around the neighborhood and she was quickly recognized as the home away from home and soon looked towards expansion.
Over 20 years of Magic
As Germantown evolved, the need for quality early childhood education increased. Over the next ten years, Ms. Cooper quickly grew out of the home setting and moved into a childcare center at 37-39 Maplewood Mall. She later expanded again to our current and largest facility at 36 W Chelten Avenue where we are able to support upwards of 60 children, ages 6 weeks - 12 years old, throughout our programs.
Where the MAGIC happens...
Leadership with Longevity
The center's leadership is a big reason why the Magic is still sparkling. Our team is lead by the Founder and CEO Mrs. Antoinette Cooper-Edney. Our Preschool Director is Ms. Nancy Turner who has started working here in highschool and has climbed her ranks to being a director for several years. Our Infant and Toddler Director is Ms. Nikita Stanley who first joined us as a teacher and is now a core part of our leadership team. Our Business and Marketing Director is Ms. Jada Cooper who was the first student of the Magic Years and has joined the team after teaching for many years and getting her Business Degree at Temple University.
The real Magic is in our amazing, dedicated teachers who have chosen to contribute their talents and expertise to the center. Our teachers are not only the heart of our center but the backbone of the entire industry and we appreciate the work they do everyday to develop and nurture your children during those Magic Years!
