Merryhill School – My name is Jacqueline (Jax), and I am a mother to a daughter who attends Merryhill Elementary School Calvine. Our daughter Roxy has been a part of the Merryhill School system for 2 years and my husband and I are overwhelmed by her progress and by the way our family has been absorbed into the Merryhill family.
I have a confession to make as a Mom. I really had a hard time trying to find the right school for my daughter. My daughter Roxy is now 5. We adopted her from Wuhan, China in 2014. My daughter only spoke Mandarin and Wuhan dialect when we adopted her. Also, Roxy’s real date of birth is shrouded in mystery. We had a birth date on paper but we were well aware that Roxy was older than they told us when we adopted her. For both of these reasons, few preschools wanted to take a chance on her. In fact, before Merryhill, we had Roxy at another elite preschool in the Sacramento area. But I felt that this other school wasn’t understanding of the fact that Roxy was adopted and learning English.
