Daycare & Preschool in Wayne, NJ for ages 6 weeks to 13 years old

We cannot say enough about how special this school is. I was a mess sending my son to school until we toured this Magical Palace of Wayne and met the Director and teachers. They are truly wonderful people that care and love the children. My son runs to school every day and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. He adores his teachers so much. It's such a gift, as a mom, to see your child so happy and so loved when you're not able to be there. We can't wait for my youngest daughter to start here. This place has become our second family and we are so beyond grateful to them.

Great place! Had 2 kids going to Magical Palace, both loved it. Staff is wonderful. Highly recommended

MPOW has been patient, gentle and loving to my child. Not only my child but all the children who attend. They have great learning activities, trips and fun projects. Your child will learn , grow and laugh. There's no child left behind. ♥️ Cleanliness is key and MPOW definitely exceeds that!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Magical Palace of Wayne!

My daughter started here last year as an incredibly reserved girl. I will never forget her first day and the thoughtful care that the owners, Lana and Yana, put into her daycare introduction plan! I nervously sat in the office while the staff gently eased her into the classroom for what we all thought would be a quick 20-minute introduction. Mind you, this was a child who had practically never ventured more than 12 inches away from me and never gone to daycare! Well, 20 minutes came and went, and she was having such an incredible time that she didn't want to leave!

Thanks to the amazing teachers and staff, we have watched her completely come out of her shell and blossom into a confident, happy, curious child who absolutely LOVES going to school. She is now in her second year and is learning to read in not one, but TWO languages!

The curriculum is rigorous (my daughter is learning to read and do basic math), but somehow they manage to make learning incredibly fun. The children's days are filled with activities like art and music (all included!), and there are so many options for additional enrichment, including math, science, cooking, gymnastics, and honestly so many others I can't even keep track! The small class sizes are another huge plus, and the individualized attention the children receive really shows.

And the performances these kids put on throughout the year? INCREDIBLE. When I tell you I have literally cried watching pre-schoolers confidently recite poetry, sing, dance, and perform in front of an audience, I mean it. The confidence these teachers instill in such young children is something really special. There are also wonderful celebrations, parties, and opportunities for parents to get involved, which makes the school feel like a community.

Another thing we absolutely love is the multilingual environment. The teachers speak English, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Georgian, and several other languages. We are an English-, Russian-, and Spanish-speaking family, so having our daughter surrounded by these languages and cultures is incredibly important to us. I also love knowing that children from multilingual families can feel right at home.

But beyond the academics, activities, and performances, what truly makes Magical Palace exceptional is how much the people genuinely CARE about these kids.

I've toured other daycares where the children looked sad, scared, or simply disengaged. That has NEVER been my experience at Magical Palace. Whether it's my daughter's friends or children in other classrooms, every time I do drop-off/pick-up, I see happy kids smiling, laughing, playing, and genuinely enjoying themselves. These children LOVE being there, and as a parent, there is nothing more reassuring.

Lana and Yana care for these children as though they are their own. That level of care is not something you can teach or manufacture. It comes from genuinely loving the children entrusted to you.

I could go on and on, but I'll end with this: Magical Palace isn't just preparing my daughter academically. They are helping her become a confident, kind, curious, and happy little person. And to me, that's everything.

I am so incredibly grateful to Lana, Yana, and every teacher and staff member who has played a role in my daughter's growth. I truly cannot recommend this school enough!

Words cannot even begin to describe how much we love MPOW! Our daughter has been there since she was 6 months old and she is now 4 in her last year here! The thought of her leaving this school for kindergarten next year makes me so sad! Yana and her team of teachers are beyond exceptional!!!! Our daughter has medical complexities and she is taken care of as if she was their own child. The amount of love, care, compassion they have for their students exceeds any and all expectations. We feel as safe with our daughter in MPOW as we do with her at home. They teach the kids beyond their years with their incredible curriculum and expose them to all different types of activities, even ballroom dance!! You won't be disappointed sending your child to MPOW!! It's a wonderful place!!!

I absolutely love this place! My son has been going here since about 18 months . They are giving , caring and welcome everyone with open hands. From activities to classroom capacity, meal plans and any concerns they are on it . I would recommend this place to everyone. Very reasonable pricing . They give you live updates, through their app even when it comes pick up they have a very secure method by checking id and calling parents to verify .

From day one, the teachers here have treated our daughter like she's one of their own. She's happy, she's learning, and she skips in to the building every morning excited to see her friends and teachers. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly invested in every child.

What sets this place apart, for us, is how they care for our daughter's type 1 diabetes. They monitor her blood sugar, handle insulin, and respond to highs and lows with the skill and calm of trained healthcare professionals. They communicate clearly with us throughout the day, and we never have to worry when she's in their care. All of this while not making her feel different due to her diagnosis. That kind of peace of mind is priceless for a parent.

The care was so stellar that we have had our second daughter start at MPOW in the baby room. The care that they provide for a young child is also second to none. They help with ideas for transitioning to solids and conquering naps. Our youngest daughter LOVES going to MPOW every day.

If you're looking for a daycare that goes above and beyond for every child, look no further. We're so grateful to the whole team!

I cannot say enough about the two wonderful years my son went here. There is a warmth and sense of community that I did not find at other places. They truly care about and form relationships with the kids and the families. I do not know any other daycare who has collected items to support families within the daycare who may be in need and the response was heartwarming. The teachers form true relationships with the children and I couldn't believe the things he learned at such a young age, bc he sure didn't learn them from me! My son loved going there every day and created real friendships with the other kids. He still tells me often that he wants to go back and luckily he likely can go back for the summer camp program. They are the best!

We truly couldn’t be happier with MGPOW! ❤️ From the moment our daughter started, it has felt like so much more than just a school — it truly feels like a home away from home.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to school every day, and seeing how excited she is each morning means the world to us. We have seen such an incredible improvement in her speech and communication, and she has learned and grown so much since being here. It’s amazing to see how much she has blossomed, not only academically but also socially and emotionally.

One of the things we appreciate most is the communication between the teachers, parents, and office staff. Everyone is so caring, attentive, and responsive. They truly go above and beyond to make sure the children are happy, safe, supported, and thriving. You can tell that they genuinely care about every child.

Our son also attends the summer camp, and he absolutely loves it! He comes home excited to tell us about all the fun activities they do, and we love knowing that he is having such a wonderful time while learning, playing, and making memories.

We are so grateful to have found a place where both of our children feel loved, welcomed, and cared for. The teachers and staff have become such an important part of our children’s lives, and we truly appreciate everything they do.

If you’re looking for a daycare where your children will be treated with love and care, we highly recommend Magical Palace of Wayne. It really is a home away from home, and we couldn’t be more thankful! ❤️

One of the hidden gems of daycare! Owned by a Wayne family who has stake in and cares for the community. The staff, communication, safety, services, care, trips, activities and enrichment are top notch!

If you’re looking for exceptional childcare in the area, Magical Palace of Wayne is the place to go!

From the very beginning, we loved their European approach and the flexibility they offered as our son adjusted to daycare. We are incredibly grateful for the care, kindness, and support that every member of the team has shown him. Knowing he was in such a nurturing, safe, and loving environment gave us tremendous peace of mind every day.

One of the things we appreciated most was the excellent communication. The daycare uses an app that makes it easy to stay connected, track your child’s day, and receive updates, photos, and important information. The director, administrative staff, and every teacher have always been kind, caring, and responsive, making us feel like true partners in our son’s care.

The program is filled with engaging activities that help children develop social, cognitive, creative, and motor skills while having fun. Summers at MPOW are especially exciting, with plenty of memorable activities for the kids.
Like many children, our son was hesitant to go to daycare at first. Seeing his transformation has been amazing—now he happily walks into the building with a smile and doesn’t even look back. That says everything about how loved and comfortable he feels there.

My daughter has been going to MPOK since she was 17 months old and is now 4. She has flourished here. The teachers are so caring, you can feel their love for teaching and children. Now my 16 month old son has joined and he loves it too. I couldn’t be happier with our choice for child care. The children socialize, nap, play outside. They have a wonderful time and I feel secure in knowing my children are happy and safe.

The hardest part of parenting is not being able to be with your child all day. As a parent, you want to know they’re somewhere they’ll be loved, cared for, and treated like family. I took a chance and enrolled my daughter at Magical Palace of Wayne because so many family friends spoke so highly of it, and I’m so thankful I did. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcomed and gave me peace of mind that my daughter was in great hands. They truly care about the children and create such a warm, loving, and safe environment. My daughter comes home happy, excited to tell me about her day, and has learned so much since attending. Knowing she’s surrounded by caring teachers who genuinely love what they do makes leaving her each morning so much easier. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my daughter to grow, learn, and make friends. I highly recommend Magical Palace of Wayne to any parent looking for a daycare they can truly trust.

We absolutely love Magical Palace of Wayne ! Our son has been enrolled full-time since he was just 5 months old, and we couldn’t imagine a better place for him to grow and learn. The teachers and staff care for him as if he were their own — their kindness, patience, and love shine through every single day.

Now at a 1.5 years old, he is always so happy every morning on arrival and comes home smiling and full of new things he’s learned. We have complete trust and truly feel like they are part of our extended family. Knowing he’s in such a nurturing and loving environment gives us so much peace of mind. We are beyond grateful for all they do!

Our daughters loved this school. The teachers were outstanding and so attentive. We highly recommend it.

We love it! Wonderful school with teachers who are warm, caring, and truly dedicated to the children’s growth. They have an incredible Russian program. Highly recommend!

The hardest part of being a parent is trusting others with your child. Choosing a daycare was not an easy task for my husband and I, until we found Magical Palace of Wayne. From the moment we walked into this daycare, we knew we finally found the right place. The wonderful staff, warm atmosphere, sounds of children laughter and a feeling of safety overtook us. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! It will take me days to describe the admiration I have for Magical Palace but I will keep it short and say: THANK YOU TO THE OWNERS AND STAFF for being a home away from home to all of our children.
