  • The directors are truly amazing—so loving, caring, and dedicated. The teachers are always warm, supportive, and incredibly welcoming. My boys have never once hesitated to go; they absolutely love it there. It brings me so much peace knowing they’re in such good hands. I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful place. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such beautiful care of my babies! -I will love to highlight the phenomenal work the teachers do providing updates and amazing pictures throughout the day! 🩷

  • My baby started going to MVCA in June. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this daycare. The staff is all very attentive, they know the name of every child and you can tell how much they genuinely care about the children. Any nerves I had about sending my baby to daycare were gone after the first week. Regular updates are provided on the app they use, including photos. Thank you to all the staff! Special s/o to Yahaira and Taylor in the infant room <3

  • Second daycare I’ve used for my boy the first was a big chain place and wasn’t very good! Luckily I found this gem and he’s been here since he was 1.5 he’s 5 turning 6 now and preparing to leave the center for real school soon. Me and my kid love this place so much and I’m super sad he’s graduating but I know he will be ahead of everyone next year thanks to all the years at MVCA. I hear all the stories from friends with kids in the big chains places not happy I refer them all here. I can tell the owners are in business because their love for children them and there whole staff rock threat my kid as part of their family.

  • I felt compelled this AM to write this after dropping my daughter (almost 2.5 years old) off at school! I cannot tell you all how much we love MVCA (Merrimack Valley Children's Academy) and how much all of their teachers love and care for my daughter. They all know her by name and know she just went on vacation, so they were asking her questions this am. She started going at 2 years old 2x a week (T/TH) and BALLED her eyes for many of the first weeks. Now, she runs to the door and talks about her teachers all week long. They know she loves her wolf stuffed animal and that naptime isn't her favorite. They take so many photos on the brightwheel app (LOVE) and the joy I feel when I see her having fun with her teachers and friends makes me so happy - because SHE is so happy.

  • MVCA has been a wonderful daycare for both of my boys. They really treat us like family, which shows how deeply rooted care and compassion are in their core values. Every day, they are excited to go, and I feel reassured knowing they’re in great hands. The staff’s dedication and warmth make all the difference. Highly recommend MVCA to any parent seeking a nurturing and supportive environment for their kids.

  • Sending our kids to MVCA was one of the best parenting decisions we've ever made. Over the past 4 years, they have fostered both of my sons' development and provided a loving, nurturing environment for them. You can tell the owners, teachers, and staff love what they do! And we love them for it!
