Merry Pop Ins is an exceptional childcare facility; from the educators and other frontline staff to the administrators, this centre offers a safe, structured and nurturing environment for children to learn and thrive.

The educators and support staff are compassionate and skilled individuals who genuinely enjoy interacting with the children. Their creativity and love of education shine through daily in the activities and curriculum they present. Play and learning are intertwined, which is essential for child development in the formative years. The centre encourages parent involvement and collaboration and communication is open and accessible.

I would not hesitate to highly recommend Merry Pop Ins to other parents. Families can be confident in knowing their children are receiving a high level of care and support from this centre.

Both of my children have attended Merry Pop-Ins since infancy. Every day I drop them off feeling confident that they are well cared for by the trustworthy, dedicated, and qualified staff. They work with our family to provide the best care possible and communicate regularly on our child’s day-to-day experiences and development. I appreciate the balance between outdoor play, creative activities, and development of essential skills such as fine and gross motor skills. When my oldest child graduated from Merry Pop-Ins she had all the skills necessary to succeed in kindergarten.
