Toddlers

1 - 2 years

​

Toddlers learn best by doing. Learning requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work. Our toddler teachers nurture children's curiosity and desire to learn through exploration.

Preschool is a critical time for learning and development, as children are preparing for their transition into kindergarten. Our preschoolers learn kindergarten readiness skills and build their independence.

Before & After Care

5 - 12 years

​

We are a bus stop for Tolland public schools and provide care when school is closed during the year. We ensure children are in capable hands during non-school hours, when parents' work schedules do not align with school hours.

Our Curriculum

Miss Merry Mac's focuses on children’s individual growth. We believe in every child and the importance of guiding children to self-discovery.

Our daily activities are based on children's developmental levels and aim to help children reach their next milestones.

What Our Families Think

Our son started at Miss Merry Mac’s when he was just 3 months old. It’s a scary thing leaving your infant in the care of others, but they made it as easy as it possibly could be. We are very happy with our decision to go with Miss Merry Mac’s for childcare and would definitely recommend it to others!

A daycare/preschool you can trust! I cannot thank all the staff for going above and beyond every day. My son has learned so much in the two years he’s been enrolled. He looks forward to going to “school” every day and he’s treated as if he’s one of their own!

My daughter has been here for about a year now and she absolutely loves all of her teachers and loves coming to school. The staff here truly care about your children and take the best care of them and always make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Miss Merry Macs for anyone looking for childcare!
