- R. Jones, parent at Merit School of North Stafford

I have two children, a son who is fifteen years old and a daughter that is only five.  I have always been a working Mom; one who depended heavily on daycare providers. When my son was young, I found myself always in search of a daycare that had just the right environment for him. One that I could trust, and that I knew would take great care of him.  A place that had loving and warm care takers and where he wanted to be when I was at work. A place where he could learn and have lots of fun. One that would be clean, serve him good nutritional food and insure safety was first when going about daily activities. Needless to say, I was looking for a home away from home for my son. My daughter is very much at home at Merit School. They have all the qualities I am looking for in a daycare.  As long as I am working Mom; I will rely on The Merit School to be my daycare provider of choice.  I highly recommend their services.

 

- Fran, parent at Merit of North Stafford

My son loves the infant program at Merit School of North Stafford! The teachers are knowledgeable and extremely caring. Both my son and I are greeted warmly when I enter in the morning as they are asking about his evening and morning. I can tell they truly care about my son. It was a very hard decision returning to work after having him, however, knowing that my son is being taken care and loved just like he were with me made going back to work much easier. I am so thankful for all their dedication and professionalism. I can tell they truly love their career.
