Preschool Daycare in Kettering, Ohio

Children in our program transition to the first preschool class when they are about 3 years of age. Preschool classes are a little more structured though their work continues to be done through play. At this age they are able to do more things in small groups and enjoy sitting as a class for a story or experiment. However, a large amount of their preschool days will continue to have new concepts taught one-on-one with the teacher or in a small group with two or three other children. The preschool curriculum focuses on the many different areas. Learn more about our preschool daycare program for Kettering, OH by clicking the link below.

My child used to attend this Daycare in Kettering, Ohio

This place is fantastic! I went there as a child all the way through Kindergarten (they offered a kindergarten class at that time). My son goes there and the staff is great! He is now 5 years old and I have never had to worry about his care. I am so greatful that I do not have to be concerned about him when I am at work. I will be sad next year because he will not be able to attend during the school year because we live in a different school system. I highly recommend this daycare.

Highly recommended Kettering, Ohio daycare

Positive: Quality. Merrie-Time was my first and only choice when I was looking for child care for my son, no other place was acceptable to me. The staff is amazing, everyone is so friendly and they genuinely love our children. I hear other teachers saying hello to my son when he’s walking down the hallway to his class, they are very attentive to all the littles there. When I drop him off he runs straight back towards his room, it makes me feel good knowing my son is happy and eager to get his morning started! I highly recommend Merrie-Time to anyone looking for quality childcare for their children, you will not be disappointed!

As a new mom I was looking for a childcare center that could provide high quality care and a wonderful learning environment, but I also wanted a place where my son would be loved and nurtured.  I found exactly that at BabyLand. 

Drake’s Mom, Molly E. Berus

Both of our boys attended Baby Land as infants. We would highly recommend this child care facility for any parents looking for safe and loving care. All caregivers at Baby Land are very knowledgeable, friendly, and they are willing to take extra steps to ensure that both babies and their parents are doing exceptionally well. Your baby will receive great care on a daily basis, and as a parent you will have great teachers giving you tips on baby related issues.

Mapley Family

Both of our boys attended Baby Land as infants. We would highly recommend this child care facility for any parents looking for safe and loving care. All caregivers at Baby Land are very knowledgeable, friendly, and they are willing to take extra steps to ensure that both babies and their parents are doing exceptionally well. Your baby will receive great care on a daily basis, and as a parent you will have great teachers giving you tips on baby related issues.

Heenan Family

Baby Land is just right. I sent my 1st child there and my 2nd is there now.  

The staff is wonderful –very sweet, very responsible, and fantastically experienced.  When I have concerns with my children, I ask my mom, my doctor and Baby Land. I am a very busy nursing mother.  Baby Land is cheerful and supportive. They call me immediately for any issue and inform me fully.   They help with all sorts of things.  I know my child is in good hands and in a safe and encouraging environment there. Baby Land’s prices beat the heavily advertised “chain” places and their quality of care is higher in my opinion.  I don’t even think of taking my second child anywhere else.

Andria Shaman

The thought of giving your newborn to a stranger is frightening to any parent. Your friends at Baby Land understand, and we do everything possible to put your mind at ease. We are a state licensed, family owned business, structured to take exceptional care of your baby because we believe your baby’s care is the only reason we are here!
