I am very grateful to Ellie. My son was enrolled at Merrick Rise N’ Shine from the time he was 4 months old until he was 18 months old, and I can honestly say she is amazing. My son loves her and was always happy to see her every day. She took excellent care of him and always made him feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I highly recommend her daycare to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy provider.
