Parent-Teacher Partnerships Build Your Support System
Your preschooler deserves the best start possible, and a parent-teacher partnership builds trust, supports your child’s development, enhances learning, and makes your child a priority when it comes to education, safety, and needs.
Personalized Lesson Plans Spell Academic Success
Your child strengthens their reading, writing, and math skills through the age-appropriate curriculum Creative Curriculum®. Teachers plan daily learning to your child’s interests in a way that prepares them to soar academically with hands-on, messy play.
Open-Ended Activities Unlock New Worlds Of Imagination
Open-ended play helps your preschooler to stretch their cognitive skills and learn to make decisions on their own. Children have an opportunity to be a leader without rules or “right or “wrong” answers, and creativity is a primary focus of their time at this age.
Loose Parts Play Creates Smart Builders & Thinkers
Simple items like wooden blocks, cups, sticks, stones, and more allow children to experiment, invent, and discover how parts make up a whole. They combine, redesign, line up, and take apart loose parts in endless ways to build both creative and critical thinking skills.
Second Step® Curriculum Encourages Emotional Intelligence
Your child learns the concepts that help them make better choices through the Second Step® curriculum. Teachers model how to show empathy, give respect, communicate effectively, and use the social skills they need for school.
Daily Outside Play Builds Muscles and Friendships
Daily outside time is a part of your child’s daily routine. They have more than enough time and space to develop essential motor skills with loose-parts play, strengthen their muscles, connect with friends, and learn from the environment around them.
Brightwheel™ App Links You To The Classroom
You have daily, real-time communication with your child’s teacher. You look forward to special pictures, videos, and updates of your child’s day as they learn, play, have mealtime and socialize with classmates.
Degreed Teachers Guide Your Child’s Learning
Your child’s teachers hold a Child Development Associate® (CDA) or an Associates Degree in Early Childhood, and some are working towards their Master’s. Your child learns the skills they need for success at the hands of the very best educators.
An Open Environment Helps You Feel Involved
Your child’s teacher will make sure you know exactly how much your support plays a role in your child’s success – even during their care. The center owner, Lena, is regularly on-site, and an open-door policy means you are always welcomed.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...
Lena and Priceless Treasures have been a fantastic child care facility for our littlest one. It is obvious that Lena and her team are dedicated to the kids and giving the best care and it shows. You get to see what is going on during the day with what they are doing, eating, sleeping, and it's great. This is a fantastic place to trust your kids at and would not hesitate to recommend anyone to Priceless Treasures.

I can confidently say Lena has really built something special and hired a phenomenal team. Both of our daughters are so excited to go each day and love telling us about all the fun things they’ve done when they come home. The Brightweel app they use is fantastic with photos/videos posted throughout the day as well as information on what they ate, when their naps were, diaper changes, and other updates/announcements. The whole experience made us so happy!

My son entered a little after age 2 and has thrived in this environment. My son had some developmental delay concerns I wasn’t aware of and his wonderful and perceptive teachers brought it to our attention in a caring and professional way and his doctors and therapists are constantly impressed with how much he is improving in his daycare setting. The entire staff is amazing and the owner is very involved and personable.

Priceless treasures has been such an amazing place for our son. They are always so clean and friendly and we have loved how much our son has grown in their care. We love everyone there especially the owner Lena and our sons teacher Ms. Katie. They are truly the best 🙂
- Ashley Stockbridge
Never once have I felt any unease about my children attending here. The staff are courteous and polite and make the effort to get to know and work with your children. I truly can’t say enough AMAZING things about Lena and her staff. Thank you for everything you guys do!

My son is 9 months old and currently in the infant room with Chelsea and Yesenia. He has some challenging health needs, which means that my husband and I are constantly communicating with daycare, to relay the latest recommendations by our medical team. Chelsea and Yesenia have been absolutely WONDERFUL, ensuring that all of our son's care needs are being met and quickly and effectively communicating with us should any issues arise. We cannot recommend Priceless Treasure highly enough!
- Ashley Schweickart
My 3 year old niece has been attending for almost 6 months now and it’s hands down the best daycare our family has found in Salem. Staff is attentive and genuinely concerned for the well being of every child there. Couldn’t recommend this daycare more 10/10 A++🙌🏻👍🏻
- Joseph Stoll
Great staff. They are kind, caring, competent, flexible, and very focused on helping the kids succeed. My 3 year old loves all of his teachers, and my infant gets super excited to see her caregiver at drop off. I go to work knowing they are happy and well cared for.
- Tamara Ottum
I love that I don’t have to worry leaving my son when I go to work. I know he is safe and loved, not only by his teachers but by all of the staff. Chelsea and Yesi are an amazing team and provide lots of love, hugs, and age appropriate activities for all the littles. There are never tears with drop off, and that means the world to my husband and I.
