Academic Explorers on the campus of SUNY Old Westbury is now offering 30 Universal Pre-K seats for Roslyn Public Schools four-year-olds. Learn about our Creative Curriculum, Fundations, and enrollment details.

At Academic Explorers, we know how important it is to choose the right preschool in Nassau County for your child. That's why we use The Creative Curriculum for Preschool—a research-backed, hands-on program that encourages social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. This curriculum helps children thrive by learning through play, exploration, and real-world experiences.

At Academic Explorers, Teacher Appreciation Week is more than just a celebration—it’s a heartfelt reminder of the impact our educators make every day. From nurturing infants to guiding after-school students, our teachers bring warmth, structure, and creativity to every classroom. In this post, we reflect on why teacher recognition matters and spotlight team members from each of our locations in Roosevelt, Merrick, Uniondale, and Old Westbury who go above and beyond.
