Infants
6 weeks - 12 months
​
Our infant program prioritizes a nurturing, loving environment that honors a family's at-home routine. Each infant follows an individualized schedule that meets their developmental needs.
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
3 - 5 years
​
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.
CT Early Learning and Development Standards

Standards
​
CT-ELDS are broken down into the following standards: cognitive development, social/emotional development, physical development, language, creative arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
