Merryhill Preschool

Merryhill has been absolutely wonderful for our family. Both of my children have attended the school, and both of them love the school and their teachers. In the almost two years that we've been sending our kids there, we've loved the professionalism and communication from the teachers and the school. We love receiving photos of the kids throughout the day, and we receive regular progress reports on how our kids are doing. From a safety standpoint, I appreciate how proactive Merryhill has been. One of my children has a peanut allergy, and they keep his epi-pen in his classroom with his picture and an icon of what he's allergic to eating. Another part of why we like Merryhill so much is the staff. The teachers and administrators are EXCELLENT. We've had nothing but positive experiences, and my oldest who now goes to another school for kindergarten still runs in and hugs her teacher when we pick up my youngest. On the note of my oldest, she was very prepared for kindergarten. She graduated from Merryhill knowing her letters (almost all upper and lower case) and she was great at counting all the way up to 30 (recognizing many of the numbers as well). She also knew many sight words too!Overall, we've been so happy with Merryhill, and we'd highly recommend it to anyone.

We are so happy with our decision to send our daughter to Merryhill Laguna. She adores her teachers Ms. Kyrin and Ms. Nimfa and looks forward to seeing all her friends at school every day. All of the teachers and administration made her and our family feel welcome from the very beginning. It really does feel like a family when you walk into that building. It has been so rewarding to see her skills develop and her confidence grow during her time here. Communication with the school is wonderful and I appreciate all of the pictures and updates we receive throughout the day. We look forward to sending her brother here as well!

Great attentiveness from the teachers. The events are fun for the whole family. Looking forward to an awesome event coming up. The pickleball tournament! The staff up front are very knowledgeable and friendly. I trust these people with my kid!

My child started in June with Ms Alexis & Ms Val class. They are both amazing teachers. They are very attentive and communicates any concerns. The principal, Ms. McKenzie, is the best and I see her walking around the classes through out the day to check in. She's responsive and accommodating. My experience at MH Laguna have been fantastic!

I have been with Merryhill since 2021 when my oldest started at 3 and my youngest was 7 months old. I have loved the education and experiences both my kids have gained so much that my oldest now attends Merryhill Elementary! The admin staff and teachers know who we are as parents and seem to genuinely care about my kids.There has been some turnover which I think is expected in the current job culture regardless of what field you are in. The staff do a great job of notifying parents as much and as quickly as possible if changes are going to happen. The overall communication between staff and parents is beyond expectation. Having older kids who went to a different preschool when we first moved to Elk Grove, it is easy to say Merryhill is MUCH better and absolutely worth the money compared to other options out there. We are beyond grateful for the time, energy and effort all staff, from the kitchen staff to the principal, put into helping prepare my kids for their academic future.

I've been meaning to post a good review on here for a while now. I am so happy we were able to get our 2 & 3 year old in Merryhill Laguna Park! They have learned so much since attending and the staff cares for my kids exceptionally well.....But this review is especially needed because of the events that occurred yesterday. I was in a car accident which totaled my car yesterday. I was standing on the freeway with no car and no car seats! I called Merryhill in tears because I was so worried about how I was going to get my kids in time. Not only did they assure me that they would stay there with them until I could arrive, I have a special place in my heart for Ms. Davies, Ms. Kathleen, and Ms. bailey. I was able to get a ride from highway patrol to daycare and they coordinated to find Ms. Bailey who had two car seat seats and was able to drive me home with my kids. They went over above to make sure we were all home and safe. It really does take a village and yesterday they were mine.

We have had our infant son enrolled at Merryhill for just a few months, but what I can say is that it has been a very positive environment for him. The teachers are very caring and we can feel their genuine excitement to be caring for our baby, as well as their genuine concern if anything doesn't seem right with our baby. Merryhill also has a stimulating learning curriculum and imaginative play -- when our son played dress up for the first time you should have seen the smile on his face! The school also uses an app that communicates to parents what your child is eating, diaper changes, sleep, and pictures that document and keep you informed throughout the day. It's been a great experience and we look forward to it continuing to be that way!!

After touring multiple daycares in the area we found ourselves at Merryhill. This experience was unlike anything we've seen. Fully staffed classes with teachers that have been here for years. The staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable. This truly felt like a breath of fresh air. Our son has been having a great time here and he has already learned so much.

Last night, my husband and I visited our granddaughter's Merryhill Preschool Laguna Boulevard's first Halloween Bash. As former preschool owners ourselves, we could only marvel at the decorations and imagine the effort put in by the staff for the children's enjoyment. The parking lot featured a food truck and numerous Trick or Treat booths for the children. The playground featured a photo booth, a haunted house, a 6 foot Ursula blow up, a Halloween haunted house, a Halloween theme movie playing on a large outdoor screen, a DJ dance party, raffle prizes and snack table. Indoor classrooms had cotton candy and popcorn machines and lots of arts and crafts activities. It seemed that every family showed up dressed in their funniest, cute costumes. Mid party there was a costume contest and the administrators were good sports in a Pie in the Face booth. Our granddaughter was thrilled and we are so happy that she has made so many new friends and lifetime memories. I have never seen such a charming, sweet event. The entire staff was welcoming and obviously having as much fun as their young charges. Ms. McKenzie and her staff should be commended. And to think that this was on Tuesday...and they still had 3 days before the weekend! ​

The Laguna location Merryhill provides excellent care for my two children. They are extremely happy to go there everyday. The teachers, staff, admin, cook are amazing team. They work well together and always communicate with each other; provides first hand information if anything that requires my attention. Overall, I am extremely happy and satisfied with this Merryhill Laguna and the team! I would highly recommend to my family, friends and colleagues without reservations.
