  I enrolled our toddler and infant in March right before the new principal started as well as some of the new teachers. When we first enrolled, things were extremely disorganized. There was zero curriculum or structure and I was starting to wonder if I had made a bad decision. Our paperwork was constantly “missing” and I think I submitted our enrollment paperwork three times for each child. Once the new principal started, we quickly saw such a positive change. Our children are now learning so much every day and when I pick our toddler up after school, he always tells me he had a great day and so much fun. I love seeing all of the photo updates and pictures of their activities. They really are thriving at this school! It feels like a family here and the teachers and principal really have the children’s best interests at heart. Our infant is always all smiles at drop off and has never shed a tear. Our toddler has made so many new friends and has learned so much. His entire demeanor and outlook on daycare has changed and it’s such a relief to drop off our children every morning and know they will be well taken care of. Don’t believe any of these negative reviews. This industry is challenging and turnover with teachers is to be expected. Merryhill has never had high turnover and has never had to close a room due to being over ratio during our time at the school. We have experienced that previously at one of our past daycares we were enrolled at. The transformation that has happened since the new principal came in is outstanding. I’m so grateful now that I found this school for our children. I cannot recommend them enough!

  We began attending Meryhill School approximately two weeks ago for my toddler, and we have been very pleased with our experience so far. The staff are all exceptionally friendly, and we feel comfortable leaving our daughter there for most of the day. The front desk team, as well as the director and teachers, consistently greet us with warm smiles, making us feel very welcomed. Additionally, while it may be a small detail, we truly appreciate the snack area near the door where our daughter can select a snack on her way home. It’s a kind and considerate touch that we find very thoughtful.

  We recently moved our daughter to Merryhill, and after unsatisfying experiences at our previous daycare, we were initially hesitant. We had visited Merryhill in the past and were left unimpressed, and the old reviews gave us pause. However, we decided to call again and had a tour with Danell. We were absolutely blown away by the positive changes. We met all the teachers and staff and were immediately struck by how kind, patient, and sweet they were. Making the switch was a tough transition for our family, especially for our daughter who was missing her old teachers and friends. The Merryhill team, however, has gone way above and beyond to help her feel at home. We can honestly say the school is in a far better place than it was before, and we feel it was an amazing choice. We hope you will give these wonderful people a chance and ignore the past reviews, as we did. You just might be as pleasantly surprised as we were. We are so happy with our decision, and we're sure our positive feelings will only continue to grow.

  New management has come in and it's been a total game changer! There is now communication, fun events, they have soccer, dance, and basketball for kids as enrichment programs! With the prior administration, it was horrible. I can speak personally to the new principal's kind heart and demeanor. She has worked endlessly to make positive changes at the school and families notice a HUGE difference. Can't please everyone and some families are disrespectful, rude, and extremely hard to work with hence the negative reviews. There are always a few bad apples! Merryhill of Castle Rock is an AMAZING school and your child will grow and thrive here!

  From the moment we enrolled our daughter—right as the new management took over—we have seen nothing but positive changes. Every day, this school proves that it’s a place filled with warmth, kindness, and dedication. The staff isn’t just friendly; they make you feel like family. Our daughter absolutely adores Miss Alyssa and Miss Danyale, who not only teach with so much love but also go above and beyond (Miss Danyale even works her magic on my little one’s hair!). The excitement on my daughter’s face when she sees them says it all. She is thriving here—growing, learning, and blooming in this caring environment. A huge thank-you to Mrs. Danell for always being attentive and making sure parents feel supported and informed. I love how the school keeps us in the loop about activities and organizes such fun, thoughtful events. Special shout-outs as well to Mr. TJ for his constant warmth and humor that make my daughter’s day, and to Mrs. Mayra for always checking in and making sure we feel cared for. This isn’t just a school—it’s a community of amazing people who truly love what they do. We are beyond grateful to have found it, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice.
