I worked at Merry Deb and was fortunate to teach the wonderful children who attended. As well as get to know the great parents.
I feel very strongly that the public get the true story of how this daycare is run.
The owners and their daughter Merry are very rude people who treat their staff deploranly. They are constantly writing up the staff any time they are in the building to keep the employees on their toes. They keep the supply closet locked away from the teachers which is ludacris.
But the worst of all is how the owners neglect to explain to families that their children are moved from room to room all day. I had 4 different groups of children a day. Any transition to a new room consists of the children bringing their lunch box and backpack to new location in a confusing exchange if chaos the owners claim will help prepare them for life but it only makes them upset. So each day at pick up the parents have to seaech many rooms to even find up where their kid has landed.
Plus they want you to provide samples for each project which tampers with their own imagination, and creativity. It is a poorly run daycare that emphasizes no structure free play, and mandatory worksheets dating back to the 1970's.
So please avoid this school at all costs, and just because you live near it, or because it is affordable is not good enough reason to sign your child up to an outdated school that likes to shuffle their students around more than a deck of cards:-(

My son went there for Nursery 2, Pre-k and kindergarten. Nursery 2 teacher seemed bored and did not seem loving or like working with kids. His Pre-k teacher did more arts and crafts than actual learning. He learned a lot and grew so much in kindergarten, he will be ready for 1st grade.
