Great academic performances for your little one. My sons been enrolled at this school for 2 years now and will continue to have him here for many more years. The teachers and staffs are great and super friendly

This is what the 4 year olds at challenger are learning  I urge parents to investigate

I have learned very disturbing facts. In my 4 year olds class, they practice time out as a form of punishment for not following directions. My 4 year old did not use the color pink, instead used the color black to color her bunny. She was sent to timeout on what they call carpet time, and when she asked to pee Ms. Kayden said don't bother me. My child then held her pee then screamed out from agony emergency emergency which then she was allowed to use the restroom. After that she started crying and when Kayden asked her why the tears, my child said it was in response to her raising her voice. Kayden replied "are you kidding me!" My child was humiliated among her friends to be placed on the naughty carpet and observe the activity from a distance and when I spoke to Brenda she was passive aggressive, dismissive and said that the school is successful due to following all directions, and if I don't feel comfortable with their policy then I should just not send my child there. I was told even in art if a child does not follow correct color steps they then are sent to the carpet. My child was so disturbed by these emotions she couldn't sleep, she cried intensely and refused to go back to class as she said Kayden was mean to her and she felt alone and scared. Brenda told me the children have free will and they can use the bathroom anytime. As a 4 year old when placed on the naughty carpet, she did not know she had free will to exercise. Other alarming facts, they are learning about Christopher Columbus as a man who discovered America. I was also sent home a paper that read "I am fat" which the school said in response to my concerns that it is used for children to learn how to read. Apparently the meaning of sentences and the social culture of 2022 has no foundation in forming uplifting sentences for children as young as 4 to learn. I urge parents to speak to their children and find out what is really happening within these classes that are not made transparent to parents. The only reason I know what happened now is because my child is getting better at communicating and telling me what occurred. I hold both the school policy, Brenda for dismissal in my efforts to change punishment procedures renamed as carpet time and teacher Kayden for over exercising her authority in a classroom with a 4 year old child regarding colors that were selected in art

Five stars isn't enough.. I cannot say enough good things…read moreabout the staff at this school. How dare I call them staff; They are so much more than school staff. They have become a second family. Mrs Jen and all the teachers have gone above and beyond my wildest dreams of a first school for my child. Mrs Corie has been incredible and from day one my daughter gravitated towards her. We have had Mrs Summer and Mrs Maria for two years now and they couldn't be better. They have been much more than teachers to us. We have gone thru some difficult times and their exact words to me I'll never forget were "we are your family now ".. This isn't just my daughter's school, this is a part of her young life that has helped mold her into a confident, bright and happy child. It's a school full of warmth and so much love. Sending my daughter to Coronado Prep Preschool was the best decision I could've made in not only her education, but in return we gained another family.. They are all INCREDIBLE.

We had a trial run here for our daughter, and while she ultimately wasn't quite ready for daycare…read moreyet, our experience with this center was nothing but positive. The staff was incredibly kind, understanding, and accommodating throughout the entire process. They handled everything with so much patience and truly made us feel supported as parents navigating a tough transition phase. Even though we've decided to wait until our daughter is a bit older before trying again, I highly recommend this center to any family looking for a caring and attentive environment for their child. You can tell they genuinely care. We're very grateful and would absolutely consider coming back in the future.

Merryhill has meant so much to our family. Our kids started there at just 6 months old with Mrs…read moreThurman and Mrs Lori (the best), and for the past four years the teachers have played such an important role in their growth. They were there for first steps, bottle-to-cup transitions, and so many important milestones. The teachers truly care, and as a mom, that peace of mind is everything. We've been amazed at how much they've learned (not just academically but socially and emotionally as well). Our daughter has developed a love for art thanks to the creative and unique projects led by Ms Mummert. We are grateful for the care and patience to the toddler teachers (Ms. Elysa, & Ms. Kanae, Mrs. Ranieri). This past year, the new leadership team has made an already great school even better with more extracurricular activities and special guests. We are so grateful for our time at Merryhill and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging environment for their little one.

I can't say enough great things about this school and the wonderful staff. It's my son's first…read moreschool - they do a great job with making parents feel comfortable and connected through pictures and communication via their app. My son started at Merryhill at 1 years old, and he is now 4 (soon to be 5). It's a stimulating and nurturing environment. Ms. Hohman & Mrs. Walker make us feel welcomed each day we get there. My son's teacher is Ms. Flynn - she is SO great (all I would hope for in a teacher for him). He is eager to learn, eager to share with me what he's learning and seems to be ahead of most kids his age with reading, writing & numbers. On top of that, I believe Merryhill has been a big part of his social development.

My daughter has been going here since she was 11 months old and now about to start kindergarten. I…read morehave loved this school since I first walked in trying to find the right one. Ms. Tina is serious about running an amazing and safe school. No matter what the issue may be, we as parents are all informed as soon as she is. Ms. Jessica is her current teacher and I believe she has amazing patience and has taught my daughter so much. She is kind and works with each and every one of her kids to make sure they are happy and learning. I am always so grateful for morning drop offs (my little one doesn't always make it easy when i need to go) and when we get home, she shows me all that she has learned for that day. The other teacher I want to mention is Ms. Becca- she's pretty much my rock haha. She was one of the teachers that has been around my daughter the longest (or so it seems to me). She is able to match the tone of whatever mood mine is in and able to work with her. If she's having a bad day, Ms. Becca seems to always turn it around. I will miss this school once we move on to "big kid school" and will always have respect for these teachers that have helped my daughter grow and learn.

Waited so long for a tour, my wife was treated so rudely! Will not be enrolling our children here…read more If I could leave a one star twice I would. No thank you !

I'm a flight attendant with a crazy busy schedule, so having a daycare that I could trust with my…read morebabies AND was flexible meant everything... especially for my peace of mind when I'm inflight. Cidney made the enrollment process so smooth and was incredibly professional and attentive to my concerns. She's a mother too and really the brightest star here! Julee is always smiling and welcoming which makes emotional early morning drop-offs less intense. Karen (School Director) went above and beyond by offering a substantial scholarship that made it possible to enroll both kids... thank you thank you thank you!! Also she's responsible for upgrading the kids menu making it super nutritious. Sage's teachers, Ms. Cindy and Ms. Molud, are so sweet, gentle, and nurturing. It honestly feels like I'm leaving my baby girl with family. I love reading the daily reports and all the cool stuff they are showing baby Sage how to make. Amari's teachers, Ms. Lince and Ms. Falisa, have been amazing! Their teaching style and potty-training approach align perfectly with how I parent, and the communication has been GREAT! We don't have family here in Vegas, but this daycare truly feels like our village. It's absolutely worth the drive across town because I know my kids are safe, loved on, and are mentally stimulated. I highly recommend Children's Learning Adventure... because out of the 7 day care centers I drive past to get to CLA... CLA beat them all on price, with the cleanest facilities, most nutritious meals, amazing outdoor play yard and fun break out rooms, and kindness/attentiveness shown to both the kids and parents. I'm grateful... really grateful I found you all.

We couldn't be happier with the care our son receives here at the Children's Learning Adventure…read more Trusting someone with our baby was a big step upon returning to work, and this daycare has exceeded every expectation. Both Ms. Lisa and Ms. Noemi are incredibly loving, patient, and attentive, and it's clear that they truly care about each child as an individual. Our son is always greeted with smiles, cuddles, and genuine affection, which gives us complete peace of mind every day. The communication is excellent from Ms. Lisa--we're always kept informed about his day, milestones, and needs. The environment is clean, safe, and nurturing, and the caregivers go above and beyond to support his development, comfort, and happiness. Seeing how excited and content our son is tells us everything we need to know. The pure love and joy that Ms. Lisa shows towards our son, towards all the infants in the room, is truly remarkable. To say that I appreciate Ms. Lisa, it is a complete understatement; it is hard to put into words how much I value her as our son's teacher. In the mornings, Ms. Cindy or Ms. Toni are the teachers who typically watch over our son. We can feel at ease and comfort with either of these teachers. Ms. Cindy is the type of woman to give you the shirt off her back - literally. You can think of her as the community mom/grandma. She is kind and always willing to help within the daycare and outside the daycare navigating solutions/ideas. Ms. Cindy is easy to talk to and extremely accessible. I look forward to getting to know her more and more each time I run into her. Ms. Toni has always been transparent and we love this. I think it takes a special kind of person to work with infants and each person mentioned has what it takes from what I have witnessed thus far. Let me not forget to shout out Jessica for the day that it was absolutely pouring rain outside and she came out into the parking lot with an umbrella and provided me with shelter from the rain as we walked inside the building. Janet - Thank you for always being accommodating and holding the door open for me in the mornings; it is extremely kind of you! We are so grateful to have found a place where our son is not just watched but truly cared for and loved. We highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for exceptional infant care. THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR SON: Ms. Lisa, Ms. Cindy, Ms. Noemi, and Ms. Toni (in addition to others who I may not be aware of).
