Parent Reviews
I love this school. My son is about to turn 3 and we have been enrolled for about three months. I was very picky about which school to choose and pretty anxious about sending him to daycare, but I would choose this school again in a heartbeat. Everyone who works there is very nice, knowledgeable and caring about every kiddo. The teachers are so great with the kids. They have lots of fun activities other than recess such as music class, gymnastics, etc.
Such an amazing school! Ms Yvonne is the most kind hearted, caring and dedicated principal we have experienced at a school thus far. She knows every student and parent who walks through her doors and runs an amazing institution. We love all of our teachers as well and the curriculum is incredible. I really appreciate the pictures shared and projects given that the kids work on each month. I could go on and on!
The teachers and faculty at Merryhill are angels. They manage to do the impossible, while multi-tasking, keeping a safe and clean school, and enriching their minds. I always tell my friends, that I can only take half the credit for how wonderfully smart and social my girls are, Merryhill is shaping them to be confident, smart, and capable. I am extremely grateful.
It is clear that our child is getting an enriching experience at school. Since joining the school in January, she has advanced immensely in verbal communication, interpersonal, and fine motor skills. She comes home every day singing songs and talking all about the activities she did with her teachers and friends. Every day she is enjoying herself while learning core skills that she’ll need for kindergarten and beyond.
