Minnieland Academy @ Kirkpatrick Farms (#36)

We are so grateful for Merit School! The transition to day care was smooth and enjoyable for our daughter, and for us. The staff is caring, transparent, and attentive, and the facility is spotless and welcoming. Our daughter is thriving, and we couldn’t recommend this place more!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at The Merit School at Kirkpatrick! The staff is warm, caring, and attentive, and they truly treat the kids like family. Communication is excellent and they keep us updated throughout the day, and I always feel at ease knowing my child is in good hands.

We are beyond thrilled with our experience at The Merit School! From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we felt welcomed and valued as part of the school community. The school's director, Farida, has been outstanding. She is incredibly attentive to the needs of both the staff and the families, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about the well being and development of the children. Our daughter absolutely loves attending school and eagerly participates in all of the fun and educational activities. It’s so refreshing to see how engaged she is and how much she looks forward to each day. A special mention goes to her amazing teachers Miss Kerstine, Miss Maryana, Miss Diana, and all the other wonderful teachers she interacts with daily. They are kind, nurturing, and truly make a positive impact on her development. We can see how much care and attention they put into their teaching, and it shows in the way our daughter has flourished. One of the things we were searching for in a daycare was a place where we wouldn't feel like just another number and The Merit School has truly exceeded all of our expectations. The personal attention, nurturing environment, and commitment to excellence make this school stand out. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Merit School to any parent looking for a school that offers both quality education and a caring, supportive community. We are so grateful for all the positive experiences and look forward to watching our daughter continue to grow here!

I am delighted to share my experience with Merit School Learning Center, where my two children have been attending. From the moment we enrolled, we’ve been impressed with the warm and welcoming environment that fosters both learning and creativity. The staff at Merit School Learning Center are truly dedicated and nurturing, consistently demonstrating patience and genuine care for each child's individual needs. The teachers are highly professional, engaging, and enthusiastic, creating a positive atmosphere that encourages curiosity and development. Their passion for early childhood education is evident and greatly appreciated. Special thanks to the director, Ms. Farida, who leads with integrity and a clear vision for providing an outstanding fun based educational experience. Her proactive approach and open communication make parents feel valued and assured that their children are in excellent hands. The leadership at Merit School Learning Center ensures a safe, stimulating, and well-organized environment where children thrive. Overall, I highly recommend Merit School Learning Center to any parent seeking a nurturing, educational, and trustworthy daycare for their children. It has been a wonderful place for my kids to grow, learn, and make lifelong memories.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Merit School. All of the staff and teachers are kind, warm and genuinely care about each child—but they also know how to gently but firmly hold boundaries, which creates a safe and respectful environment for everyone. It’s clear they’ve worked hard to cultivate a warm, open space for learning and growing. One of the things that stands out most is how every teacher, not just the ones in my daughter’s classroom, takes the time to greet us and learn our names. It really makes you feel like part of a community—like family. Since starting here, my daughter has learned so much. We’re constantly impressed with her growth, both socially and academically. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly.
