About Me

My name is Nicole Stanley, and I would like to introduce myself as your Director for The Merit School of Manassas Park. I am originally from Centreville, VA. My husband and I are college sweethearts and we have 3 girls.  I enjoy crafting, wreath making, and spending time with my family.

I attended George Mason University and received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology.  I have over 25 years of experience working with children.  I have been a Preschool Teacher, Administrative Assistant, Assistant Director, and presently, Director.  I have always enjoyed being around children, and I love their honest view of life.  Event planning for the school and playing with and holding babies is my favorite part of my day at the center.

I hold myself accountable as the face of our children’s future, and I want them to succeed in life.  Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your child’s life.

Our son  has really learned a ton in the class and I would like to show our appreciation. The other day he came home reciting his numbers 1 through 10 and his ABC's and I was thoroughly impressed. We have had an awesome experience thus far at the school. From the moment our daughter walks in the infant classroom she is welcomed with love and I know that contributes to her being a happy baby!

- Erica H., parent at Merit of Manassas Park

I just got back from a parent/teacher conference at my daughter's new school and to my delight I was told she is doing a great job and fairly advanced amongst her classmates. The great teachers and program have made that possible, especially the ability to have that 1:1 daily with the teacher. Thank you to the teachers for their commitment and love for the kids!!

- Leslie S., Manassas Park Parent

The teachers and staff have always remained courteous and attentive to the needs of the many children they cater to. My child has been attending the school since before he could crawl, yet every day he tends to surprise me with something fresh, new and intelligent that he has learned for the day...showing me that they are engaging with him on a personal level. The fact is, they understand children...and that is why I ALWAYS feel comfortable trusting them with my most prized possession everyday. Two BIG thumbs up!
