My two children have been at Merit School for the past 4 years, and I truly couldn’t be more grateful. My son has now transferred to elementary school, but he still talks about Merit and misses everyone so much. I honestly believe Merit School is the reason he loved going to school every single day with happiness and confidence. Every complicated situation we ever had was handled so professionally, warmly, and with so much patience. My daughter is still attending Merit, and she started when she was only 5 months old , now she is already 2 years old. I was so worried in the beginning, but her caregiver quickly became like a second mama to her. Sometimes I even get a little jealous watching how much they love each other 😇😅. Her “firsts” all happened here, surrounded by people who truly care. Merit School has become a part of our family. We trust them completely 100%. They are truly the best of the best day care, and we appreciate every single person on the team. Thank you for loving our babies as your own. ❤️ I wish I could give a 10 star 😇
We love Merit School! Our son is so happy there and learning every day! Shout out to Ms. Ebone and the entire team for putting on an amazing Fall Festival! The petting zoo, snacks, music, trunk-or-treat and children’s musician were magical! We had suck a great time!
My son has attended the Merit School 2 years now, we’ve been really pleased with the school and the entire staff. Great communication around the activities and curriculum on a weekly basis.
I very much appreciate the Merit school, its staff, teachers and program overall. Ebone and her team were a wonderful help to our family during an important time. I have loved seeing all the fun activities the toddlers do, the great amount of time spent outdoors on the playground, and the care provided by the teachers and staff. I feel it is a fair value for the area and provides wonderful flexibility.
Our little one has been at Merit School since I returned from maternity leave, almost a year ago. We’ve been so happy there. He’s thriving socially and developmentally, and we can tell he really feels loved by all the staff. His pediatrician is so impressed with how he’s doing on all fronts. The fact that Merit School provides all food for one year olds and older is a huge time saver for us and also means he gets exposed to even more foods than we can expose him to at home.
