    We are incredibly grateful to have our children at Merryhill Karista. While we first chose this school for its convenient location, it’s the people and environment that make us stay. This school truly feels like family. Every staff member — from the teachers to the principal — is present, approachable, and welcoming. They take the time to know our family by name and greet us warmly each day. Communication is always timely, thoughtful, and supportive. When challenges arise, the team works together and consistently shows up for our kids — and that dedication does not go unnoticed. We want to express our deepest appreciation to some of the amazing teachers who have played such an important role in our children’s growth and happiness: Ms. Tatum, There are no words that can fully express the gratitude we have for you. You make us feel like you care for our son as deeply as we do, and that means everything. Your energy, patience, empathy, and commitment shine every single day. We’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence and language, and we know your encouragement has been a huge part of that. Even on long or challenging days, you show up fully — dancing, smiling, and giving your all. You are truly exceptional, and we are endlessly grateful for you. You rock! 🤘 Ms. Reyna, I didn’t realize you were a “floating” teacher until recently — that’s how seamlessly you fit into every classroom. Managing multiple groups of children daily is not easy, yet you consistently bring positivity, patience, and support wherever you go. You are a steady presence, especially in those late afternoons, and we appreciate you more than you know. Thank you for always showing up with kindness and care. Ms. Megan, Both of our children have had the joy of being in your care, and though their personalities are very different, you’ve supported each of them with such patience and grace. Toddlers are not easy — we can only imagine the daily energy required — and we are grateful for your consistency, presence, and commitment. We see you and appreciate everything you do. Ms. Lisset, Thank you for supporting our daughter through her transition to school. We know it wasn’t always easy, but your gentleness and empathy helped her feel safe and seen. We’re excited to watch her continue growing in your classroom and are so grateful that you are part of her journey. Ms. Katie B., Thank you for caring for our daughter like your own. Your enthusiasm and joy when you see her is contagious, and watching her light up around you brings us so much comfort. Your energy and attention to each child are incredible — thank you for showing up so fully every day and for being exactly who you are. Ms. Sunnay, Thank you for everything you do to keep the classroom running smoothly. You are such a steady, supportive presence — always making sure every child is cared for and the environment is safe and welcoming. You are the quiet backbone of the classroom, and your work does not go unnoticed. We appreciate you deeply.

    We’ve had an amazing experience with Merryhill Preschool. Our daughter has been there since she was two, and our son started at just 5 months old. From day one, we’ve felt confident knowing our children are in a safe, loving, and supportive environment. Miss Tatum, Miss Rey, Miss Nathalie, Mr. Jose, Miss Emily, and Miss Rachelle are all incredible — kind, attentive, and truly dedicated to the kids. They create a nurturing space where children can grow, explore, and feel cared for every single day. For any parent looking for a preschool that truly values children and builds real connections with families, Merryhill is the place. We’re so grateful to be part of this community.

    If you’re looking for a nurturing environment for your son or daughter, this is the place to be. I enrolled my daughter at this preschool back in 2017 when she was 2 years old, and now my son attends as well. All the teachers are wonderful! The principal, Ms. Yvonne, is very hands-on and always available when you need to speak with her. The assistant principal, Ms. Katie, consistently goes above and beyond. Ms. Roy and Ms. C are by far the best teachers your child could have—they ensure the kids are learning every day while having fun, and they care for them genuinely and kindly. If you enroll your child(ren) here, they will definitely be well-prepared for TK or Kindergarten.

    We absolutely love Merryhill Preschool! Ms. April is always so warm and welcoming in the mornings, and she has such a calming way with the kids. Ms. Meagan and Ms. Emily are amazing—they always keep us updated on what’s going on in the classroom and take time at pickup to let us know how our daughter’s day went. This is our first experience with a daycare center, and we couldn’t be happier. The teachers and staff are all so kind and greet us every time we walk in. Our daughter has been going since July, and we’ve already noticed such a big difference—her vocabulary has really taken off, and she’s learning to do so many things on her own. She stays busy learning and playing all day and sleeps great at night! We’re so thankful for everyone at Merryhill for making this such a positive experience. Highly recommend!

    We have had our 3yo son here for almost one year and we really love it. The school is clean, safe, and in a great location. Most importantly, we love the admin and teachers. I was pregnant and emotional on the first day dropping off my son and I remember Ms. Yvonne, the principal, comforting me and reassuring me that it will be great and she was right. Our son has really connected with his teachers (Miss Natalie and Miss Tatum are household names now). They have all worked with us through the separation issues, potty training, normal behavior issues, etc. I’m really happy we found this school.
