Parent Reviews
My son has been enrolled here since 6 months old, he's now almost 3. Overall, I've had a good experience with this facility. A bit pricey but what daycare isn't. Communication is great and the teachers really care about the kids. Shout out to Miss Sheena who constantly goes above and beyond for her kids. She's so engaging and creative. She makes the children holiday gifts. It's so reassuring to know that my boy is in good hands.
must admit, as a first-time mom I was scared and nervous about returning to work and putting my child in daycare. But by no means is this your average daycare. My daughter has learned so much here, and she engages in activities that are truly great for her development and her age. I feel so blessed to have come across Merryhill Harbor Point. From the start, my child was shown so much love, not just by the infant room, but by Merryhill as a whole. She absolutely adores all of the amazing teachers. I especially want to give Ms. Kelly, the lead infant teacher, her flowers--she is just incredible with the kids. Ms. Kenzie, Ms. Nina, and Ms. Martha have all also played a huge role in my daughter's growth and happiness, and she is so fond of each of them. They make her feel comfortable and cared for every single day. A huge shoutout to Ms. Jasmine in the front as well--she gave me my original tour and made the transition so much easier. And Ms. Maria, one of the original infant room teachers, is absolutely amazing too. I also love how engaging the school is with families, holding different events throughout the year--it really makes us feel connected. Any concerns I've brought up have been addressed very quickly, and I truly appreciate that. And there's one more teacher I'd like to recognize: she has curly hair, wears glasses, and joined a few months ago. She helps run Merryhill and is often in the infant room or at the front. She is the sweetest, always calls my daughter by name, and I often see them playing together when I walk in. Huge shoutout to her too--I'm sorry I can't remember her name at the moment! Overall, I couldn't be happier with my daughter's experience here. Merryhill Harbor Point truly feels like family
Since Mrs. Robin took over last summer, Merryhill has undergone an incredible transformation. Under previous leadership, the school faced numerous violations--so severe that the state took them to court in an effort to revoke their license. It was a deeply concerning time for families, but Mrs. Robin stepped in and turned everything around with remarkable speed and dedication. Her proactive approach, attention to detail, and genuine care for the children, staff, and families have completely reshaped the school into a safe, nurturing, and well-run environment. The difference is undeniable--our most recent inspection under her leadership was completely clean, with zero violations. It's incredible to see how quickly she addressed past concerns and built a community that prioritizes both education and well-being. She is hands-on, communicative, and always looking for ways to improve. Any learning environment she is a part of is truly fortunate to have her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! A special mention also goes to Mrs. Amy, who stepped in as temporary admin when the transition began--her hard work in getting the school back on track was invaluable. And my daughter absolutely loves spending time in Mrs. Mayra's classroom--she always comes home so happy on the days she's with her!
The leadership at Merryhill Harbour Point is excellent. The school leaders run an excellent school with a diverse set of teachers who are all wonderful and truly care for my children. They make me feel that they are invested in my children’s educational and social maturity.
The teachers at Merryhill are so kind and really make me feel like my children are valued. I love the projects the kids bring home and I also feel that parents are able to get involved. Lastly, I think there are lots of extras that the kids look forward to every month. I’m very grateful to the teachers and leadership for providing a safe place for my kids to grow and learn!
