Merit School of Arlington

My son has made such a behavior turn around. He is not perfect I know but they are all so patient with him. He has matured so much since being here for the short time he has been here. He absolutely loves it here. He asks to go everyday. He even races me to get to the door and is so happy. Thank you to all of the staff in the front- Shawna and Ebone - as well as all of the teachers. He just loves all of his teachers! Thank you all for everything you do with not just my little guy but all of the kids.

I very much appreciate the Merit school, its staff, teachers and program overall. Ebone and her team were a wonderful help to our family during an important time. I have loved seeing all the fun activities the toddlers do, the great amount of time spent outdoors on the playground, and the care provided by the teachers and staff. I feel it is a fair value for the area and provides wonderful flexibility.

Our little one has been at Merit School since I returned from maternity leave, almost a year ago. We’ve been so happy there. He’s thriving socially and developmentally, and we can tell he really feels loved by all the staff. His pediatrician is so impressed with how he’s doing on all fronts. The fact that Merit School provides all food for one year olds and older is a huge time saver for us and also means he gets exposed to even more foods than we can expose him to at home.

Our daughter has been enrolled at The Merit School of Arlington since August 2020. She has been through the infant, toddler and now preschool classrooms. We have had absolutely wonderful experiences with the teachers in every classroom and have felt that our daughter is getting excellent care. She is excited to go to school every day and she has learned so much in her time there. It has been difficult for this daycare, as with many others, to manage the difficulties that COVID has brought, but overall they have done a good job of managing the situation. We are having another baby later this year and will be enrolling her in the infant room again!

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a long time. We have LOVED our experience at The Merit School in Arlington. We have attended this school since May of 2020. There has been some turnover and adjusting to Covid that all daycare centers have experienced recently but throughout it all, there have been some amazing people caring for my children. The Director (Ms. Ebone) is so passionate about early childhood education, with the relatability as a mother, herself. And the teachers are all so warm and friendly. My children have really developed such great bonds. Nothing is more telling of a great center than seeing smiles on my children’s faces every time they enter the building.
