The Merit School Learning Center at The Glen has been a trusted educational institution in Virginia communities since 1980, providing a nurturing environment for children to thrive emotionally, physically, socially, and intellectually. Families in the Woodbridge area rely on the school for their childcare and daycare needs, with programs including infant and toddler care, preschool, pre-k/junior kindergarten, Montessori, and before-and-after school care. The summer camp offers fun, enriching activities like swimming and field trips. With experienced teachers, a developmentally-appropriate curriculum, and secure, spacious facilities, children flourish at the Merit School. Parents are incredibly grateful for the school's exceptional care and communication, with one family stating that their children have "thrived" since transferring to this location in 2022. The Montessori class is described as "everything our 3 year old needed to be successful and grow," and the toddler teachers as "comforting" and "incredibly communicative." Families feel their children are safe, welcome, and in a great learning environment at the Merit School. The staff treat the children as part of their own family, are responsive to any questions or concerns, and provide excellent communication and feedback. The school has gone "above and beyond" to accommodate children with health issues, prioritizing their care and ensuring all parties are on the same page.
Wonderful teachers and staff, and so many fun activities for the kids!

My daughter has been at this school for almost 4 years now. We feel that our daughter feels safe and welcome at this school. Her confidence grew significantly at this school, she made friends and is eager to come to school every day. Teachers are also open to talk and share with us the progress our daughter is making.
