While preschool age is typically 3 to 5 years old, Merryhill Preschool in Midtown Sacramento welcomes children as young as 6 weeks. We know how much early childhood development matters, which is why our curriculum is built around it. Through the Merryhill Method, our students begin practicing confidence, resilience, and independence to build routines and responsibility that grow with them at every age.

Merryhill Preschool is a top choice for daycare and preschool in Midtown Sacramento, built on the Merryhill Method. Our teachers turn everyday moments into practice for confidence, resilience, and independence.

We provide students with nutritious morning and afternoon snacks each day, carefully crafted to support the energy and focus children need to engage fully throughout the school day.

We understand that every child develops at their own pace, and potty training is no exception.

Regular fire and emergency drills prepare students and staff to respond appropriately, while consistent cleaning schedules and clear illness policies promote classroom health. We also use our parent communication app to share timely updates and important safety alerts with families.

Our teachers meet state licensing requirements and typically hold at least 12 semester units in Early Childhood Education or a related field, with many bringing additional qualifications, such as a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential or a bachelor’s degree in child development.
