Merry Go Round Learning Center

Both of my daughters go to preschool here and absolutely love it. It's right by our house, and as new parents we thought that more money and a nicer looking facility translated into better care. We were absolutely wrong. After COUNTLESS wait lists, tours, home care, part time care and eventually six months at Taproot Montessori, which my older daughter absolutely hated/dreaded, we checked out Merry-Go-Round. Ms. Cary runs a tight ship and knows everything that is going on in her facility at every second. The teachers are wonderful. We have the option for a marginal cost having them serve nutritious hot lunches, and the scheduling is flexible. My older daughter still calls it "new school" (as opposed to the old school she hated) and both are visibly excited to go in the morning, and happy to see us at pick up. They have a variety of structured activities that are both fun, artistic and educational, and we have no doubt that our girls will be kindergarten-ready. The teachers always take the time to tell us about their days, are patient and experienced. It's affordable. If I had been a more seasoned parent, I would have listened to my child sooner and not judged a book by its cover. Luckily we got right.
