Mary Meyer School

Educating children through purposeful play

Clad in backpacks and brimming with excitement, children enter a world where play is purposeful, friendships blossom, and curiosity shines. Every day is filled with laughter, wonder, and the joy of learning together. Since 1943, families have found more than a preschool here — they’ve found a home, a community, and a place where childhood is cherished. Experience the magic of Mary Meyer School!

We absolutely love Mary Meyer School for our daughter. It has been a magical place where she learns to be a better human and friend. The brilliant teachers are attentive and caring and make school feel safe and nurturing. The communication channels with the parents are top notch—you truly feel a part of the community.

I am a Mary Meyer alum, and it brought me so much joy to see how much my two-year old daughter loved the Parent & Toddler program. She has been enrolled in many classes, but the only one she begged me to sign up for again is "Meyer." She loves the play stations...painting, creating play dough, and circle time. We look forward to continuing!

Mary Meyer gets it! The school set a foundation of social emotional learning through purposeful play for our daughter… Three words to describe Mary Meyer are community, special, and quality.
