Children's center under new ownership

Gloucester resident Stacey L. Cook is the new owner and director of Majestic Harbor Children's Center in Gloucester.

"I have always admired Majestic Harbor as one of the best preschools in the area," said Cook, "and now I am really pleased to be a part of this creative school with its very talented, committed teachers,"

Cook has been director of five preschools, most recently at Run-a-Muck Child Care Center in Danvers. With a master's degree in early childhood education and special needs, she has developed many age-appropriate curriculums, including one for a very diverse group of preschoolers in Wilmington, N.C. that utilized her core beliefs — children learn best through hands-on exploration; they learn to solve problems and get along with others when given the opportunity to "play," and they thrive cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically when they feel safe and are allowed to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes.

Majestic Harbor Children's Center has openings for toddlers, preschoolers and pre-kindergarteners. In the fall, it will be accepting infants. The center, open year-round, offers two, three or five full-day or half-day programs, and is located at 127 Eastern Ave., Gloucester.
