Our mission is to provide the young child with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in school. Our caring, experienced, qualified teachers work closely with parents to provide a link between home and school. Parents, the first teachers of their children, are encouraged to participate in all aspects of the program.
Our aim is to give the children a firm academic, social/ emotional and spiritual foundation on which to build their future school experiences. We provide a secure, loving atmosphere in which children will gain self-confidence, self-esteem, an awareness of others, and come to know that learning can be fun, meaningful and rewarding.

The Carmelite has been a positive, caring, and family-like learning environment for my 3 children. The entire staff is great and my daughter was very prepared for kindergarten. I am extremely happy with my decision to send them to Carmelite! Carmelite was the first place that I dropped off our kids when they were not with a family member and I couldn't have imagined a more warm, comforting and caring place.

My brother's two daughter's went to the Carmelite and so did our son. It is a great place for kids to learn academically and socially. They learn how to be great students and people. The Christian faith is, obviously, something they learn about... but not exclusively, which is great for our mixed family. Sister Kathy, and all of the teachers, are phenomenal with interacting with the kids and their parents. It was the one place where my son couldn't wait to go back to school.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Camelite. Both my children attended Carmelite. It was one of the best decisions we ever made. My boys were nurtured, and educated, in a loving, clean, safe, environment. They took away strong fundamentals for a successful future in school and in life. There are many things we want for our children to know and learn. Carmelite will help your children to grow up loving, kind, happy and successful individuals.

Both of my children were students of the Carmelite Preschool. They both had different learning levels and abilities and this school was amazing at meeting both of their needs. The staff is wonderful, and their ways of teaching were creative and kept the children's attention. I highly recommend this school, wish mine could've stayed there through elementary. ❤️

We were thrilled to find a preschool in Peabody that was a perfect fit for our two children. Carmelite Preschool has been a wonderful experience for our whole family. My son and daughter both thrive in this safe and loving school. The faith based learning environment is particularly important to our family. The balance of faith and learning is great at Carmelite.

When we first visited Carmelite Preschool I knew it was the right place for my children. I felt very comfortable with Sister Kathy as soon as we became acquainted with one another. The atmosphere was wonderful, and it was just a place I could see my kids playing and learning. Plus, it was a lot cleaner than other places we looked.

Our daughters have had a wonderful time at Carmelite Preschool. The staff and the teachers do a great job with the children. They create a wonderful atmosphere of learning, motivating and fun activity. They do an excellent job preparing them and getting them ready for kindergarten and the years ahead.

Sending our children to the Carmelite Holy Childhood Preschool has been one of the best decisions we have made for our family. The nurturing environment, coupled with the strong religious based curriculum, has helped to reinforce the values we try to instill at home, and in our estimation is what distinguishes Carmelite from all the other preschools we could have chosen.

This year, my youngest of 4 daughters will graduate the Carmelite program. Not only did my four daughters go there, my sister and I also did! I can not say enough about what a wonderful preschool experience we have all had. My children came out of the Carmelite with so much confidence in themselves, ready to take on full day Kindergarden. The staff is fantastic: very nurturing, very professional, and provide a very safe and loving environment. I cannot say enough wonderful things. I have had teachers in elementary school comment about the Carmelite saying "you can tell when a student has come from

I would recommend the school for its caring an nurturing environment. The staff really care about the kids and their well being, as well as keeping them engaged in the activity at hand. I love walking into the school in the morning and seeing the different arts and crafts on the walls. My oldest daughter was very well prepared for kindergarten and my other daughter who is going there now gets super excited at drop off. That's how I know I am making the right decision with the Carmelite Preschool!
