Schools in Fredericksburg, VA

“My children have attended this daycare for years now! You couldn't ask for better teachers, to watch your children! Mrs. Kristie and Mrs. Wendy always welcome me with a smile when I walk in! My children love all of their teachers, so much, that My children won't leave until they give hugs to all of the staff!”

“I highly recommend the Goddard School because of its low teacher’s turnover, clean and well-organized environment, and well-structured classroom activities. The administrative team and staff are warm, kind, and truly supportive, which makes a big difference in the overall experience for my baby girl.”

“I truly love this daycare. My son has attended since he was just 3 months old, and the staff have treated him with so much kindness and care every step of the way. It’s clear they genuinely love what they do. He feels safe, happy, and comfortable there, which means everything to me as a parent. Their communication is wonderful—they keep me informed, listen to any concerns, and make me feel involved at all times. Knowing my son has been in such caring and supportive hands from such a young age gives me incredible peace of mind. I’m truly grateful for this daycare and highly recommend it!

Update 06/12/2026: Ms. Lena is an absolute treasure! I cannot say enough wonderful things about how she treats my baby. It is so clear she is deeply passionate about what she does. She consistently goes above and beyond to make learning fun, and my son has learned and grown so much under her guidance. Every day, she showers him with a level of care and warmth that makes me feel completely at ease while he’s at school, as she truly loves him like her own. My son absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her every single morning. She isn't just his teacher; she is a trusted mentor who has helped him build so much confidence. We are so incredibly grateful for Ms. Lena’s dedication, patience, and the massive heart she brings to her classroom every single day. Any toddler is lucky to be in her class!”

“I have three children and I’m so sad we didn’t find this place sooner! My little guy loves it and the teachers are great!!!! The director and everyone you pass smiles and greets you every day! We will stay here as long as we can! My son has flourished too!”

“Cadence Academy has been so beneficial for my child. He has grown so much from having the social interaction with the other kids in his class. His teachers are extremely kind and always have a great attitude. Watching an infant is extremely hard work, yet the teachers start and end each day with such a great spirit. I know watching just my child alone can be hard, yet they watch a whole classroom. I know my son is loved by his teachers, especially Miss Audjaney, Miss Victoria, Miss Katie, and Miss Estephany. It is hard to be a working mom, especially of such a young child, but I feel the care that each of these teachers bring. It makes me feel so much better that my son is in such a caring environment. Also Miss Melissa of course is wonderful and such an amazing leader at this facility!”

“Your establishment needs to petition the county to have a turn lane to enter your drive. There is going to be a serious accident there one day especially since harrison road has become increasingly busy over the past 5 years”

“The Merit School of Southpoint is AMAZING! We absolutely love this daycare! We toured every daycare nearby and no one compares. The directors, teachers and staff are all amazing, warm , attentive, truly caring and welcome us with a smile everyday. My 2 years old wakes up excited to go every day. They also host so many great family events that make it feel like a real community. We couldn't be happier!”

“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.”

“From a mother who has had kids in 5 different daycares, finding the Merit School was a true blessing. The staff provide outstanding care and genuine attention to each child, creating an environment that feels warm, safe, and nurturing. They know exactly how to balance learning with play, making every day meaningful and fun. I’m always impressed by their communication and the thoughtful way they celebrate achievements. They also really know how to have fun with educational field trips and elaborate parties. My son comes home happy, confident, and full of stories — a true reflection of their dedication. This daycare is more than a place of care; it’s a community where children truly thrive.”

“We love this daycare! We’ve had nothing but great experiences with all of the staff. We know our kid is safe and loved here, and gets so much stimulation and learning. Can’t say enough good things!”

“We love COA Salem Church! From the moment you step in the door, you can feel the love that the teachers and management have for the kids in their care. Miss Michaela and Miss Bridget are absolutely wonderful. They always greet us with a smile and ensure all our questions/concerns are addressed. My boys adore their teachers and genuinely love going to school. Special shoutouts to Miss Lizzie, Miss Blair, Miss Carol, Miss Rosa, Miss Aaliyah, and Miss Heather. My boys have grown so much - educationally and socially. The parent app makes communication smooth and transparent. We also get pictures most days. As a working parent, it means the world to me to get glimpses into my boys’ days. Words can’t express how much we truly appreciate the staff at COA Salem Church! 💜”
