  We cannot thank the staff enough for the care they have given to my two daughters. Their hours fit well with me and my husband's working schedule. Great with communication with us and quick to answer any questions we have. The teachers has been so nurturing to our kids since day one (one in intermediate and the other one who started with infant to now in the beginner's class). I love the constant pictures they take and updates they give me throughout the day. Ms. Kelly, Ms. Liyi, Ms. Fouzia, Ms. Maria and Ms. Katelyn gave so much love and attention to my youngest when she was in the infant room and helped her transition greatly into toddler room. In the toddler room, Ms. Nina, Ms. Marissa, Ms. Kia and Ms. Albina really helped her came out of her shell as she learned to be more social with her new circle of friends. We were happy to see when Ms. Katelyn and Ms.Maria transition into toddler's room to help out - which brought out a lot of comfort in our child as she was already familiar with them. Ms. Bernadette would spend some time watching watching her later in the day as well. She's now in the beginner's room with Ms.Liyi, Ms. Palwasha and Ms. Mayra and Ms. Martha (during early drop off). Her new teachers, Ms. Palwasha and Ms. Mayra have done great in helping potty train her when we were ready to take that next big step. Our oldest enjoyed being in Mrs. Aroma's classroom. She was very caring and attentive to our daughter. When Mrs. Aroma leaves for the day, she would go to Ms. Sanjana's class, who my daughter loves interacting with as well. There would be times where Ms. Mercedes would watch over my daughter later in the day, which I see that she bring this playful character out of my daughter at the end of day. Ms. Monette makes the best food and sometimes helps watch the kids as well. We can't thank her enough for the hard work she puts into the cooking (even baking the baked items the kids would mix and make for events). Ms. Robin and Ms. Jasmine have built a great team and we appreciate the transparency they have given us the past 1.5 year at Merryhill. They have definitely made it easy for us and we would recommend this Merryhill to anyone.

  Both of my daughters have attended Merryhill, and we've experience every level from infants up to intermediate. Every staff member we’ve encountered has been exceptional. Even though now only our youngest is attending, both have had a fantastic experience. Each one has thrived and had a great time, thanks to the wonderful staff from top to bottom which I feel speaks volume for the wonderful Team Ms. Robin and Ms. Jasmine have built. Ms. Kelly, Ms. Kia, Ms. Fouzia, and Ms. Katelyn made our daughter’s transition into the infant program incredibly smooth. Their care, attentiveness, and thoughtful communication gave us complete peace of mind. They truly made her first experience at Merryhill warm and welcoming. As our younger daughter moved up a level, she joined Ms. Nina, Ms. Marissa, Ms. Maria, and Ms. Albina. Their patience, creativity, and enthusiasm brought out her curiosity. She had so much fun singing songs and exploring new activities. Now she's in the beginner level with Ms. Myra and Ms. Palwash, our daughter continues to thrive. Ms. Martha has also been fantastic with early drop-off, making mornings smooth and stress-free. Our oldest daughter had a great time in Mrs. Aroma’s intermediate class. Mrs. Aroma was kind, approachable, and easy to communicate with, creating a positive and engaging environment for her. Our daughter looked forward to every class. Ms. Sanjana was wonderful as well, as my daughter would transition into her class each day during the evening. Both have helped my daughter grow and developed tremendously. Overall, Merryhill has been an incredible experience for both of my daughters. Every teacher we’ve encountered has shown genuine care, dedication, and passion for their students. We’re so grateful for the supportive, nurturing, and fun environment that Merryhill has provided for our children. I have 100% recommend Merryhill to all my friends and family around the area.

  Merryhill Harbour Point has been a wonderful school for our family! Ms. Robin and Ms. Jasmine are professional and wonderful to work with and greet each student by name as they come and go from the school. Our son has been in 3 classrooms since he started, and we have had a great experience in all of them. Ms. Liyi was so nurturing and welcoming to our son and really helped him transition into the daycare setting. He still asks to visit with her or see her after school even though he is not in her class. Ms. Cherisse and Ms. Emma were also very attentive and receptive to working with us on potty training. They were both patient and communicated well when there were lessons we could reinforce at home. We have also seen huge improvements in speech, vocabulary, and fine motor skills from the lessons Ms. Aroma and Ms. Sanjana are teaching in the intermediates classroom. They are kind, yet set firm boundaries, which has promoted a great learning environment in their classroom. They are also both very understanding and communicative when we need extra support at school. We are excited for our second child to grow with this school as well and stay connected with these wonderful teachers!

  My daughter has been at Merryhill for over a year now and it’s been a wonderful experience. The hours fit our work schedule and the teachers have been amazing. She started in the infant class and we loved Ms. Kelly and Ms. Maria! Now she’s in the toddler class and we’re lucky that Ms. Maria moved to the toddler class. We also love Ms. Nina and Ms. Marissa. We can tell that she has been learning a lot and she looks forward to school everyday. We’re thankful that they love our daughter and take good care of her.

  Merryhill Harbour in Elk Grove! As both a parent and someone deeply attuned to early childhood development, I can confidently say this school provides an exceptional environment for young learners. From the moment we enrolled our child as an infant to now in the toddler program, we’ve consistently witnessed a thoughtful, nurturing, and developmentally enriching approach. The teachers are intentional in how they engage with the children, fostering curiosity, emotional growth, and independence through play-based and child-led exploration. Ms. Kelly has been incredible. She exudes warmth and always finds ways to scaffold our child’s growth, supporting milestones in such a calm, encouraging way. Ms. Maria is engaging and attuned to each child’s unique temperament, bringing out the best in every classroom moment. Ms. Nina brings such a motherly, compassionate energy. She not only nurtures the children but also supports parents with practical, empathetic guidance that has truly helped me navigate new stages of parenthood. Ms. Marisa has a grounding presence and creates a peaceful start to the day, especially on mornings when transitions are tough. Her calm energy makes all the difference. Ms. Katelyn is remarkable in sparking our child’s natural curiosity and fostering cognitive development through thoughtful activities and open-ended exploration. A special note of appreciation to Ms. Robin (Principal) and Ms. Jasmine (Vice Principal). Their leadership sets the tone for the entire school, and it’s evident they’ve cultivated a culture of care, communication, and professional excellence among the staff. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found a school that not only meets but exceeds expectations in creating a safe, stimulating, and emotionally rich foundation for lifelong learning. The Lincoln family!
