Magical Journey Learning Center

Sent both of my kids there since we moved here 4 years ago (5&8 now). Mrs Spada is so great I’m going to miss here when my girl moves in next year. My son goes to a private school and was the first kid we enrolled. He was 100% ready and well equipped for his next school and I am so grateful we found this gem of a place to start schooling off for both of our children!!!

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience at Magical Journey Learning Center (MJLC) in Ahwatukee! Our daughter Reese graduated from their program, passed her testing with flying colors, and was accepted for early entry into Kindergarten—a huge milestone that set her up for success right from the start. Reese absolutely adored every moment at MJLC. She formed such strong bonds with her teachers, especially Ms. Spada and Ms. Emily, who made learning fun, engaging, and tailored to her needs. As parents, we always felt completely supported by the entire team; it’s clear that Jess Spada knows how to run an exceptional pre-K program that nurtures both academic and social growth. Now in Kindergarten, Reese is thriving and was even the first in her class to receive a leader award—what a proud moment! We’re incredibly grateful we found MJLC. Jess Spada was actually the second person I met when scouting homes in Ahwatukee from out-of-state, and her kindness from day one has been unwavering. We can’t express our gratitude enough for the foundation they’ve given our family. Highly recommend MJLC to any parents seeking a top-notch early education experience!

A Truly Magical Place for Our Daughter Magical Journey Learning Center has truly been a blessing for our family. After trying a few different places, we finally found this incredible center—and instantly fell in love. The warm, family-oriented atmosphere, the welcoming teachers, and the fantastic Director made the transition so much easier for both us and our daughter. The Summer Camp activities were creative, engaging, and fun. I especially want to recognize Ms. Gigi—my daughter can’t stop talking about her! She tells everyone how kind and wonderful her teacher is, which is so reassuring for us as parents. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Magical Journey Learning Center to other families!

Both our girls have thrived at Magical Journey, and it was incredible to see how equipped and confident our eldest was leaving Pre-K and entering Kindergarten. It’s a safe and encouraging environment, and as parents, we’ve appreciated the consistent leadership and communication. Very grateful for Jessica and her team of enthusiastic and dedicated educators!

We are big fans of MJLC! Check out the photos on their Facebook page and you’ll feel the fun, creative, engaging energy of the teachers, kids and staff! It’s not just daycare, the curriculum and structure is prepping kids for elementary school. Our girls love it and love their teachers who care deeply for them! As the daughter of an educator, choosing the right school was really important to us, and we are quite grateful to Mrs. Spada, the teachers and staff for creating such a loving, clean, safe place for our kids to learn and grow.
