One Shared Belief
Merrie Time Christian Preschool and Daycare is founded on the belief that all children should be given the opportunity to learn and grow in an an atmosphere where the feel safe and loved. Our children are our most valuable asset! We believe the parent is the child’s first “teacher” so we strive to work collaboratively with parents in providing an environment of rich learning experiences with the goal of developing life-long learners. As a Christian center, we share the love of God with the children and families we serve.
Infant Care
Learning for our littlest ones depends on the trusting relationships they develop with their caregivers. When consistently loved and cared for, these little ones are ready to learn about the world around them. Our highest priority is to establish these consistent, supportive and loving relationships with your infant.
Toddler Care
Our toddlers are divided into two age groups:
- Toddler 1, which is for children aged 20 to 30 months.
- Toddler 2, for those aged 30 to 36 months.
We focus on social-emotional, physical, language, cognitive, literacy, and mathematic development.
Preschool 3's
Children in our program transition to the first preschool class when they are about 3 years of age. Preschool classes are a little more structured though their work continues to be done through play. At this age they are able to do more things in small groups and enjoy sitting as a class for a story or experiment. However, a large amount of their preschool days will continue to have new concepts taught one-on-one with the teacher or in a small group with two to three other children.
Pre-Kindergarten Class
The children in our Pre-k class are gearing up for the start of elementary school. We recognize the importance of preparing each child for the years of formal schooling ahead. Our teachers take this responsibility very seriously, working with each child to move them toward that goal. While doing this, they are committed to presenting developmentally appropriate activities that help the children learn and grow, moving along the developmental continuum.
Low Ratio Classrooms
We maintain low ratio classrooms for better quality care for each individual child we serve.
