THE BEST DAYCARE IN MERRICK

With a high demand for quality licensed child care services in Long Island, Academic Explorers expanded into the North Merrick community in the Fall of 2020. Our Merrick location offers a more intimate setting with smaller class sizes for young children starting at 6 weeks old in our infant class. Our programs operate year-round and offer extended hours for families who need early morning or late evening child care.
