Nurturing Every Milestone

Merry Moose Childcare and Preschool's unique learning experiences are developmentally appropriate and based on the MN Early Childhood Indicators of Progress. 
 
Our well-rounded programs will help your child:

• Develop social and emotional skills with activities that build confidence, independence, and self-esteem and encourage responsibility, respect, and kindness.
• Build intellectual and creative capacities through teacher- and child-led exploration of language, music, art, pretend play, imaginative play, and manipulatives.
• Improve motor skills, balance, hand-eye coordination, and movement through daily participation in structured and free play time inside the classroom and outdoors.

Who Has 5 Centers With 4 Stars? WE DO!

Every one of our five centers has a 4-star Parent Aware rating, which is the highest rating awarded to childcare providers demonstrating best practices in Early Childhood Education. ​

Infants

We love caring for the newest members of our community. And we strive to make infant care as worry-free as we can for parents and families. ​

Preschool

Preschoolers have a lot of energy and even more questions. We’re ready for them! Our all-day, every-day preschool program provides care, encouragement, learning, and listening opportunities that set the stage for Kindergarten.

School Age

School-age kids are both independent and social, eager for structured learning as well as time to do their own thing. We provide both! Our friendly and flexible before and/or after school program provides time for schoolwork, learning activities, and play.
