Kindercare Learning Center

KinderCare Merrimack is absolutely wonderful. My child has been attending since the infant stage all the way to multi age kids. All the staff is so friendly and accommodating. The director and assistant director always have their doors open and will whole heartedly listen to any questions or concerns you may have. My child’s current teacher Ms. Kelley goes above and beyond to make sure my child is set up for success. My child’s past teachers, Ms. Capri and Ms. Dawn are also excellent! You can tell all the staff truly cares.

Both of our children have been enrolled at Kindercare--my son from age 3 mos through 8 years and my daughter age six weeks to 7 years (and she is still there!) Kindercare is wonderful! Dawn is an incredible infant teacher. She is patient, kind, loving, and sweet. She gives the children a wonderful head start. My daughter really bonded with her and I always felt comfortable leaving her with Ms. Dawn. My daughter required a specialized diet and Dawn was always more than capable of ensuring my daughter's health and safety--while making my daughter feel normal and happy. Every teacher my kids had as they moved up the rooms were wonderful! Carly is creative and fun with the kids, keeping a great sense of humor while creating a structure where the kids could thrive. She has a lot of fun dance parties and the kids are always happy. Miss Kelly is incredible! She creates such a fun classroom that I wish I could stay and play. She is creative--she created a large dinosaur cut out one time, created a microphone and hand held camera (so the kids could report the news), had planets hanging all over the ceiling, and created a grill station for the kids. These are just some of the examples! There's a reason she has won awards! Kelly is playful with the kids and they love her so--when she came back from a vacation they flocked her like she was a red carpet celebrity. My kid didn't even say goodbye to me, she was so happy to see Kelly back. We could not have potty trained my son without Debbie's help. My son was a very active handful, joyful and medically complicated, and he found all the supports he needed with Debbie and Courtney. (He still sends notes to Miss Courtney thanking her for creating a happy environment for him!) My kids always looked forward to hanging out with Debbie--they got to do fun activities, play games, share stories. They knew Debbie would make them follow rules but would also laugh and keep a fun environment. Debbie has the best laugh! My daughter says "Miss Debbie is the best in the whole wide world!" Miss Heather is a favorite too. My daughter would vibrate with excitement seeing Miss Heather coming, and would shout her name with joy. Miss Heather and Miss Debbie have a busy classroom, with busy and happy kids, but they always make each kid feel special and feel like they had individual attention. My daughter says "Miss Heather is awesome!" Miss Melissa is a joy. She encourages my daughter to embrace herself and to be proud of who she is. She really helps my daughter to feel comfortable in her own skin. All the little kids love Melissa, and often chant her name in joy when they see her coming. Miss Courtney is incredible. She is perfect for your child to have right before they start public kindergarten. Like all the teachers, Miss Courtney creates a real classroom environment but what really makes hers stand out is its organization and flow. The kids know what is expected of them, they learn the schedule, they learn responsibilities, to stand up for themselves, to address their fears, and to gain confidence. My daughter gets excited for public school vacations because it means she gets to spend an entire week, every day, all day, with Miss Courtney! My daughter loves Miss Courtney's classroom (particularly the dollhouse) and reading time. Micki and Julie are just as great. They always make you feel welcome when you enter the building. They have great bonds with all the kids--as you can see with nearly all the kids having to give both of them hugs or hi fives as they come in and leave. Julie has always been so helpful in helping my kids get on and off the school bus. Both Julie and Micki are great at keeping parents updated and involved in the school.

Merrimack Kindercare has been amazing for my two kids! My three year old is in the multi-age classroom with Miss Heather. She has so many friends and cannot wait to go to school each day. She has learned how to write all her letters freehand and can spell any word with assistance. My youngest is in the Toddler classroom. Miss Carly has been wonderful for him. He was the youngest kid in the class when he started and he has really grown into himself thanks to all the wonderful teachers. He too cannot wait to be dropped off in the morning. Micki and Julie run a great center & recommend to all other families looking for a place to send their kids!

I have been bringing my 6 month old here for a few weeks, and his teachers have been amazing so far! He is always so happy to see them in the morning. He always gives Miss Dawn, Miss Katelyn, Miss Katelyn H, and Miss Bella the biggest smiles. From the pictures and videos I get throughout the day, I can tell he is having a great time with them. I mentioned to them he was having some developmental delays and his doctor wanted us to do some exercises with him to help, and they do them every day. I can see the biggest difference in him already! Micki and Julie are always so accommodating too. If something comes up, I know they will be forgiving and help our family out :)

Merrimack KinderCare has been an absolute gem for our family! From the moment we enrolled our daughter, who is now approaching her second birthday, we've experienced nothing but excellence. The entire staff at MKC deserves accolades for their exceptional dedication and warmth. Every interaction with them has been pleasant, and they've made the entire experience easy and enjoyable for us as parents. A heartfelt shoutout goes to Miss Carly, who has truly gone above and beyond in her role. Her commitment to ensuring each child's experience is special and unique is evident in everything she does. It's clear that she and her team pour their hearts into their work, and it reflects in the happiness and development of the children under their care. We feel incredibly grateful to have found such a nurturing environment for our daughter to grow and learn. Merrimack KinderCare has our highest recommendation to any parent seeking a loving and enriching childcare experience for their little ones.
