Open Quote Don’t bring your child here. The administration will not treat your child fairly. Your family will be disrespected here. Your child’s welfare will not be valued like other children‘s well being if you happen to be ’different’.
This place is shocking in their lack of empathy for children in their care. They advised my child to grin and bear it when he was the target of a known bully. It was my child that was to feel bad for complaining. Sadly this culture is top down, cynical calculated indifference is what we’ve experienced. Feel free to message me if you are considering this place for your child. I will do my best to inform anyone who would listen about the lack of professionalism and accountability. The staff are in urgent need of training in conflict resolution etc., - I hope this link helps. https://www.stopbullying.gov/resources/get-help-now Close Quote

Open Quote My son had four days in a row of injury reports. One of his teachers actually caused him sick because the teachers were not getting along. He is a happy boy by nature but he isn't happy these days at school. I start losing peace of mind in the morning when I drop him off since I don't know what is going to happen to him , what kind of injury he will get at the end of the day. We want him to be safe and happy at school, if not happy at least to be safe. But we are not sure now. The teachers' teaching quality is also doubtful. Close Quote

Open Quote My son attends Merritt Academy and I absolutely love this school. We moved him from a typical chain daycare to Merritt and I could not possibly be happier with my decision. His teachers are wonderful and I literally never worry about him throughout the day. I know they are taking great care of him and unlike the chain daycare, he is actually being taught new things every day. Close Quote
