A Loving Environment
Positive reinforcement, gentle guidance, and warm, family-like care every day.
Trusted by Peabody families since 2019, Little Star Child Care Center pairs every child with a dedicated primary caregiver in a play-based, family-cooperative environment — so your child is held, known, and nurtured every single day.
From your child's very first day, our cooperative, family-centered approach makes Little Star feel less like drop-off — and more like coming home.
Positive reinforcement, gentle guidance, and warm, family-like care every day.
EEC-certified educators who help your child grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
Clear, regular updates so you always know how your child is developing.
Each child is seen, respected, and given time with their dedicated primary caregiver.
Every age group has its own dedicated space, schedule, and curriculum, all rooted in play-based learning and the Massachusetts Early Childhood framework.
Individual care that lets your littlest one feel safe, secure, and held — first smiles, first sounds, first steps.
Stimulating activities and gentle group interactions that encourage play, exploration, and early language.
Hands-on learning in literacy, math, science, the arts, and social skills — building confidence for kindergarten.

We're not the biggest center in town — and that's the point. Every child is known by name, by need, and by heart.
Your child bonds with one dedicated educator — building secure, consistent relationships that help them thrive.
You're not just dropping off — you're part of our community. Open communication, real partnership.

Real words from real parents about their Little Star experience.
Great daycare, very clean and organized! Our son is 2 and learning so much! Highly recommend it!
My daughter has been going to Little Star for a year now. This is one of the best daycares she has been to. They have a great schedule for the children and do not shuffle them around into every classroom like I've seen other centers do. The director is great and patient and has taught me a lot. I'm a first time mom so I get nervous, but I feel very reassured.
The teachers are amazing and do fantastic work.
