We absolutely love The Merit School at Leeland! The facility is always spotless, creating a safe and healthy environment we can trust. The staff goes above and beyond to plan creative, engaging activities that spark our child’s curiosity and development every day. Everything is so well-organized—from daily routines to communication with parents—which gives us such peace of mind. Most importantly, the employees are truly passionate about what they do. You can see the love and dedication in every interaction. Ms. Ashleigh is a delight and we are so thankful she was our kiddos teacher! The director and assistant director are great. They are readily available and listen intently. Our child is thriving, happy, and excited to go each morning. We couldn’t ask for a better place. Highly recommend this daycare!

We loved being in Miss Ashleigh and Miss Gail's class! They are both so sweet to our kiddo, and he gets so happy to see them every morning! He has learned so much, and he has thrived with them providing a consistent routine and engaging activities every day. All of the support staff have also been fantastic, and it is obvious that they all love working with the kids.

We absolutely love the Merit school at Leeland Station!! We've had two go there and nothing but wonderful things to say. Ms. Julia had been a gift to our oldest and made their first time in a school setting easy and comfortable. We have open communication with staff and feels like family to us! The building is secure, clean and inviting. The play area outside is a kids dream!

I have had both my daughter and son in Merit since they were babies. My daughter is now 5 and ready for kindergarten thanks to Merit. She has learned so much from Miss Julia and Miss Brenda and she has fun doing it. We also appreciate all the activities she gets to do through their summer camp program. My son (2 yrs) always talks about Miss Skye and Miss Gail at home. Both our children are happy and safe at Merit, we are very grateful for all that they do.
