Merriewood Children's Center provides child centered
programs that enhance this growth by providing a variety
of stimulating activities designed to meet the
individual needs of its children. Experiences with art,
drama, music, science, building, cooking, stories and
movement are among the many activities offered. The
special talents of the staff will ensure each child his
