Our son started at Merit School the castle with a lot of separation anxiety, as he wasn’t used to being around other kids. The transition was tough at first, but the incredible staff was so patient and understanding, to top it off the other children are so nice friendly, and well behaved thus making the transition easier for our sweet boy! After just a month, we’ve seen a remarkable change in him! His true personality has blossomed—he's more social, confident, and genuinely excited to go to daycare every day and come back home happy! We couldn't be happier with the care, attention, and nurturing environment the staff provides and not forgetting all their beautiful smiles through the glass windows when we walk through the hallway!😊
UPDATE: While the school started off great for us and may still be a good fit for other families, we had to withdraw our child due to inaccurate updates in the Procare app and him starting to cry again during drop-offs. We prioritize excellent communication regarding our child, and if that is not fully met, unfortunately, we couldn't continue.

The best center that my husband and I could have chosen for our children. The director (Suki) and assistant director (Lindsey) are the most welcoming, compassionate, and trusting people we could have hoped for regarding our children. They go above and beyond for every child in the school and treat our children like they are their own. I have never met two people who are more dedicated to the growth, well being, and success of children of every age. Their communication, attentiveness, and affection have given my husband and I so much comfort that our children will be taken care of and loved. I could not imagine Suki and Lindsey not being there to lead this center; the go above and beyond in every aspect of childcare and I am thankful that my children have been touched by them and their love.

My husband and I love Merit School at the Castle. We are so lucky to have a place where all staff care for our daughter and take such good care of her so we can work with peace of mind. If we could give more than 5 stars we would.

High turnover among staff. Lack of communication from teachers and directors. Disappointed.

We really liked this daycare and their staff. We had very few issues and our girls loved going here. They loved the teachers and they had some good friends that they were always talking about once they got home. They were sad when they had to stop going here.

The staff is so kind and well prepared, attentive to each individual needs and protective of all children. The communication with the parents it’s flawless, every teacher knows my son by name and is aware of any event or circumstance impacting his health, mood and little feelings. Every single concern or question I had is always addressed, making us feel comfortable leaving our son at their care. The building and classrooms are clean and organized. The educational component is impressive. Each week a different topic it’s developed through play, lessons and activities encouraging our son to learn at early age and developing a good foundation for his academic experience. Also the school’s involvement with the community helps develop a social conscience from an early age. If I could rate this school 10 stars instead of 5 will definitely do it!

I absolutely love and adore the staff at the Castle! They are so friendly and personable. My experience with them has been fantastic. My daughter was 3 months old when she started attending. Definitely not the easiest experience for any new mother. They made it the easiest transition for me to go back to work. They're great about keeping in contact with me throughout the day. I love the status updates and pictures they send to my email every couple hours. The wonderful ladies definitely cater to each child's individuality!!! My daughter loves the interaction she has with their team and classroom peers! I see them cleaning all the time and washing the children's hands constantly. In my opinion, they do their best to control the germs. I highly recommend this place!... You absolutely get what you pay for, the price is well worth the peace of mind.

My son started as an infant part time, and went full time at Minnieland at about 18 months. He continued there through the Prep program (4 yrs). The facility was clean and safe. When my son sometimes had a tough time seeing me leave in the mornings, I really liked how the teachers hugged him, held him, or played with him to help calm him down. Teacher retention was great, and many of the teachers had their own children enrolled, adding to the family-like atmosphere. If we had concerns, we found that the Directors listened and took care of any problems promptly. Most of the staff knew our son by name, even if he wasn't in their class at the time, and it was obvious that most of the teachers truly enjoyed their jobs and their students. I would absolutely recommend this location, and would still have both of my children attending if we still lived in the area.
