Parent: Our 2-year-old has attended Merritt since she was 6 months old, and we would not dream of sending her anywhere else. Our experience has been magical. Merritt is not only her school; it is her second home.

Our children will tell you they love their school, which is surely something we all want to hear.... Read 17 reviews
