About Us

Over 40 Years of Trusted Family Care

Merisko Childcare LLC and Little Angels Preschool have been a cornerstone of the Marysville community since 1982. Founded and operated by Diane Merisko, our mission has never changed: to be a safe, loving extension of your family.

Our Founder

Meet Diane Merisko

My name is Diane Merisko. I am the owner and operator of Merisko's Childcare LLC. I have been a licensed childcare provider since 1982 and have served on the board of the North Snohomish County Family Childcare Association in some capacity since 1984. I served as President from 1999 to 2007.

My staff and I welcome you to our childcare and preschool. Our goal is to offer a fun, safe, loving, and open environment. We would like to feel we are an extension of your family while you are away from your children.

Children will experience the freedom to be themselves and grow at their own pace. They will be encouraged to be proud of their unique qualities and will be shown unconditional love and care. Give them the guidance and understanding and they will have the opportunity to explore their world in a safe and controlled environment.

"The more I know about your child, the better I can meet their needs."
— Diane Merisko, Owner & Operator

Our program is designed to meet the needs of each individual family. It is important we work together to provide a safe and secure environment for each child and make them feel more at ease with their new childcare setting.

We encourage you to bring up any questions or concerns regarding your child at any time. Only in this manner can we work as a team for the good of your child. I welcome you to visit us and look over our facilities — available by appointment so that I can plan ahead for my staff.

Inclusive
