My son started at Minnieland at 2 months old and then transferred to Merit School of Wellington when he was about a year old. At both locations we have had great experiences. My son has benefited from the small classroom sizes and very nurturing teachers. Every morning we are greeted by Jessi and/or Jenn as soon as we walk in. All the teachers we see will say hi to my son by name. It appears like a larger daycare, but you really feel that each teacher takes a special interest in your child. My son has moved up from the Infant Room to the Toddler Explorers and most recently to the Preschool Explorers. One thing that I have really appreciated through these different transitions is how they take care and slowly introduce the child to the classroom and move them once they feel that the child is comfortable. You never feel like they are rushing to quickly move them. When you talk to the staff, you will realize that a lot of the teachers have been at the school for a long time, which speaks very highly for The Merit School. You will quickly see the experience that these teachers have with the lesson plans, activities, and projects that they do with the children. If you are looking for a daycare for your child, I highly recommend that you look at The Merit School of Wellington.

My 5th grade son has attended Merit at Wellington since he was three months old. We love the caring and kind teaching staff that has taken the time to get to know my child and foster his love of learning. He's blossomed through the baby room, to the 2s and 3s, on to pre-K and now in the School Age program for before and after school, including Summer Camp, too! The team works to target the interests of the kids and bring those interests into fun crafts and activities. I feel at ease knowing that the staff wants the best for my child and every other child in their care! I highly recommend childcare at Merit at Wellington!

We love Merit! Teachers are actively engaged in children’s development and learning. They are professional and take interest in getting to know each child and parents alike. I know my children are safe, learning, and developing lasting relationships with other children each day. Kids don’t just sit and play, they are interacting and honing in on age appropriate tasks and skills, meeting milestones and getting ahead in home and school. Great job, Merit! Thank you Jen and Jess and all the staff for everything you do!
