Reviews
The staff at the daycare are very nice. They show great care to the children. You can see that taking care of our children is their passion. My child was taught how to count to 10 in Español prior to entering the preschool age. She’s able to sign the alphabet using sign language...and knows a few words, too. The center is more than a facility. It’s a family.
I feel as though my child is looked after very well. The workers are caring. They have taught my child how to count to 10 in Spanish prior to entering the preschooler age. She knows some sign language, including being able to sign her letters. She comes home where she prays before meals and other times she feels that prayer is needed.
I’m content.
My children is attending Mercy Land Academy since beginning of this day care, they always glad whenever we get there, when I get there to pick them up they love to spend more time at the center. All the workers including the director and teachers are such a wonderful people and God fearing. I would like to recommend Mercy Land Academy to everyone who is looking for a good childcare center to register your child there because they are professional.
I had my daughter in the daycare from September 2017 till June 2019. My overall experience is absolutely satisfied.
The staff are reliable,dependable and dedicated.
I like that the place is always very neat and well kept too.

Good learning environment and safety conscious.I will recommend this place for parents. My kid is learning here.
Great childcare center for children. The staff there are very friendly and professional. My children are treated with care and love and are always excited to go there. Love that it is Christian based. I feel safe taking my children there.
This is a very nice place for your kids. they take good care and teach the kids too. i have 2 kids in there , and i can tell you as a happy mom that they are very caring and proffesional.
Do not take your child here. They have teenage boys and girls volunteering here. A worker once saw a teenage boy looking while she was changing a baby girl. My daughter hated it here. She would cling on to me whenever I was leaving her then cry when she saw me. I took her out of there and have not looked back. Until they improve, don’t let your child be the guinea pig.
This provider is a church based childcare center but God does not reside there. The ladies at Mercy Land are very unprofessional, my children did not learn anything while there. Whenever I came to pick my child up, who is usually very energetic, was always sitting staring into space, looked as if she was crying everyday and seeming as if she was afraid to get up and come to me as if she would be punished. The female with the glasses also communicated with my spouse inappropriately whenever he went there alone and made him feel very uncomfortable. I would not recommend Mercy Land to care for my dog, let alone any children until they renew their staff and bring professional help in. The Pastor is very nice but its unfortunate that she has such poor help in the childcare center. Not sure if she knows of their behavior or just turns a blind eye because they seem to possibly be family or friends in some type of way. Please hire professionals that are business minded and does their job. My child did not have fear of people until this place.
Awesome place for kids. My kids feel at home here. They provide love and undivided attention to my kids. It's very safe and dependable place for every little angel.
