Why Families Choose Merryhill School
Safe & Nurturing
At our school, keeping our students safe and happy is our main goal. We care about every child and help them grow, not just in school but in life too. Our classrooms are warm and inviting, so our students feel comfortable exploring and learning. We teach them how to be kind and to respect each other, helping them to make friends and feel part of our school family. Each day, our teachers work to make learning exciting and full of joy.
Family Communication
We think that parents and teachers should work together as partners. Our teachers make sure that you know what your child is learning, how they are doing, and even if they ate all of their lunch! We want you to feel part of your child’s school journey. We also encourage you to share any questions or updates from home, so we can best support your child’s growth and happiness. Together, we create a caring team to help your child feel happy and safe at school.
Well-Rounded Curriculum
Our Links to Learning preschool curriculum helps children grow in many areas such as literacy, math, art, science, and social skills. Each skill builds on the one before, as children learn and grow. For elementary and middle school, our program combines strong academics with innovative approaches to learning, creating a space where students succeed and feel excited to explore new things.
Well-Trained Teachers
Our teachers know how to help each child grow and learn. They participate in ongoing professional development to stay up-to-date with the best ways to support children’s learning. They are dedicated to creating a warm and safe space where every child feels valued. Our teachers listen, encourage, and make learning fun every day.
Watch Your Child Grow With Us
Rooted in Tradition, Focused on the Future
Merryhill School was founded in 1949 by Dorothy and Tom Tompkins in a small church annex in Sacramento, California. Over the decades, the single preschool grew into a trusted community of schools spanning multiple states serving children from preschool through 8th grade. While our footprint has expanded, our commitment to academic excellence and a nurturing environment remains the same.
