We provide a developmentally appropriate program for children ages 8 weeks through 5 years from Duxbury and the surrounding South Shore communities.

We will admit new children throughout the year if space is available. 

The Magic Dragon Children's Center  is NAEYC accredited and is a Level One QRIS (Quality Rating and Improvement System) participant in the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care.  We are located in the early childhood wing of the Chandler School. 

Tuition 

Please contact the Center at magicdragon93@hotmail.com for current tuition rates.

The tuition schedule is established and revised yearly to reflect actual operating costs.  Tuition within each category is based on the age of the child, staffing ratios and the length and number of days selected. 

We are self-supporting, relying on funding from tuition revenues.  An active Advisory Board supplements our budget with fund raising efforts.

Tuition payments for both new and returning families will be paid in 10 monthly installments. Your 1st payment is your Tuition Deposit and represents payment for September. Tuition is then due on the 15th of the prior month. For example, October's tuition is due by September 15th.

A 10% sibling discount is available to families with two children at the Center.  The 10% discount is applied to the child with the lesser annual tuition. Families with three children at the Center will have a 15% discount applied to the child with the lowest annual tuition and a 10% discount applied to the child with the next lowest annual tuition. 

A parent or guardian is expected to enroll a child at the start of the school year or when available space is offered to them.  If they choose to delay enrollment (maternity leave, unborn child, etc.) one half of the tuition is due on the reserved space (for no more than 2 months) and must be paid to secure the spot.
