A disappointing mess of a facility. After months of dealing with this facility's administration, I am profoundly disappointed -- and frankly, alarmed.
We have interacted with dozens of daycares, and this is without a doubt the most disorganized operation we have encountered. We followed every registration instruction given to us by the principal and vice principal to the letter, which at times was different from what the other stated. Initially, we were told we were next in line -- a reasonable expectation, given that we have a nephew and friends' children already enrolled. Then that spot was quietly given to someone else when we arrived for our second in person interview. Then we were told we were next again. Then another family was ahead of us. As of this week, we've been told there are now three families ahead of us.
No explanation. No accountability.
A daycare's most important asset isn't its facilities -- it's trust. And this administration has demonstrated that it cannot keep its word, track basic enrollment commitments, or communicate honestly with prospective families. The building may look wonderful, but a beautiful facility run by disorganized leadership is not a safe place for young children. Operational failures at the administrative level have a way of trickling down to where it matters most.
I would strongly caution other families to get everything in writing before engaging with this daycare, or you will just waste an incredible amount of time.

We are incredibly grateful to have our children at Merryhill Karista. While we first chose this school for its convenient location, it’s the people and environment that make us stay.
This school truly feels like family. Every staff member — from the teachers to the principal — is present, approachable, and welcoming. They take the time to know our family by name and greet us warmly each day. Communication is always timely, thoughtful, and supportive. When challenges arise, the team works together and consistently shows up for our kids — and that dedication does not go unnoticed.
We want to express our deepest appreciation to some of the amazing teachers who have played such an important role in our children’s growth and happiness:
Ms. Tatum,
There are no words that can fully express the gratitude we have for you. You make us feel like you care for our son as deeply as we do, and that means everything. Your energy, patience, empathy, and commitment shine every single day. We’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence and language, and we know your encouragement has been a huge part of that. Even on long or challenging days, you show up fully — dancing, smiling, and giving your all. You are truly exceptional, and we are endlessly grateful for you. You rock! 🤘
Ms. Reyna,
I didn’t realize you were a “floating” teacher until recently — that’s how seamlessly you fit into every classroom. Managing multiple groups of children daily is not easy, yet you consistently bring positivity, patience, and support wherever you go. You are a steady presence, especially in those late afternoons, and we appreciate you more than you know. Thank you for always showing up with kindness and care.
Ms. Megan,
Both of our children have had the joy of being in your care, and though their personalities are very different, you’ve supported each of them with such patience and grace. Toddlers are not easy — we can only imagine the daily energy required — and we are grateful for your consistency, presence, and commitment. We see you and appreciate everything you do.
Ms. Lisset,
Thank you for supporting our daughter through her transition to school. We know it wasn’t always easy, but your gentleness and empathy helped her feel safe and seen. We’re excited to watch her continue growing in your classroom and are so grateful that you are part of her journey.
Ms. Katie B.,
Thank you for caring for our daughter like your own. Your enthusiasm and joy when you see her is contagious, and watching her light up around you brings us so much comfort. Your energy and attention to each child are incredible — thank you for showing up so fully every day and for being exactly who you are.
Ms. Sunnay,
Thank you for everything you do to keep the classroom running smoothly. You are such a steady, supportive presence — always making sure every child is cared for and the environment is safe and welcoming. You are the quiet backbone of the classroom, and your work does not go unnoticed. We appreciate you deeply.
