With over 14 years of offering childcare programs at Merrill Community Schools, our staff and faculty are dedicated to supporting your child as they take their first steps along their educational journey. We offer multiple options to provide you with the best fit for your student and family. Discounts may be applied for families of multiple children attending our programs.

We offer care for your children from 8 weeks through 12 years of age. Options for care include our infant/toddler program, preschool, extended care, and summer camp. Our district is committed to a start to finish mind set. We share in your child's first steps and milestones to help preparing them for success in life after graduation. Our teachers and staff create a child led, teacher facilitated atmosphere, where all children can thrive and grow. We are the "Home of our Littlest Vandals."
