Academic Explorers of Merrick, LLC 1430 Jerusalem Avenue, Merrick, NY 11566

"Academic explores has truly been a saving grace for family and I . I was looking for not just a daycare with academics but an extended family . Being a new mom , I had a lot of anxiety with trusting strangers with my baby but not only were the teachers reassuring, but also other mothers that have their kids enrolled reassured me as well. My daughter has thrived in so many ways. I’m so happy and I highly recommend!"

"Where do I start with this place for starters this place is currently under investigation with cps and the state for putting a child at harm and the teacher ms.Magaley still works here. She told one of the students to push another student !?….It’s funny how their motto is “We put the child first” How is this teacher allowed to do that and still have her job? Teachers are supposed to lead by example and set a good reputation for the children. This place is a business first and a daycare center second ..take a minute to read the reviews on indeed from past employers."

"As a first time mom you always question your decisions daily! My daughter enrolled at 3months and is now turning 1! Enrolling my daughter in this daycare was the BEST decision I made this far! From the first phone call and communication with Ms. Danielle to the tour with Ms. Rochelle (the director) whom made me feel so comfortable with leaving my child in their hands! & it trickles down to billing with Ms. India! So friendly and super helpful every time! My daughter has literally gained a whole family while attending this daycare! The app they use to update her eating, naps & pictures are SUPER HELPFUL! I don’t worry while I’m at work because I know she is in great hands! Even teachers that aren’t in her class love her and show her so much love & are her aunties and uncles! This is the best daycare everywhere and I recommend everyone here! My friends & sisters have both enrolled their child here & I would recommend every time! Thank you for making the hardest decision in motherhood the BEST one!"

"If you’re looking for a school/program that cares for your child like their own then this is the school for you ! Everyone from the director to the teachers and assistants are so loving and hands on with the children and for me as a first time mom this was so important. I was so hesitant to enroll my daughter in a school for the first time just because with everything going on in this world you can’t just trust anyone with your child. Mrs. Rochelle (The Director) gave me a tour of the school and immediately me and my fiancé loved her personality and she gave off such a warm and comforting vibe that I hadn’t gotten with most of the prior school tours I went on. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure your children are constantly learning new things and having fun while doing so. My daughter has been coming here for almost 2 Yrs. (Including camp) and I’m still very happy with the decision I made to enroll her here."

"My son absolutely loves his school!! He’s always talking about how much fun he’s having and how nice the teachers are, would definitely recommend, I’m happy that my husband and I chose this school to send our little man. Thank you academic explorers!!!"
