Description: Merrick Community nursery School is celebrating 50 years of providing quality preschool education for children in Merrick, Bellmore, North Merrick, North Bellmore, Wantagh, Freeport and surrounding communities. Many of the teachers at Merrick Community have advanced degrees. They have specialized in early childhood education because they love the process of watching young children learn. They bring to class many years of experience, their own enthusiasm for science, literature and math and the ability to present age appropriate projects in original and exciting ways. Our teachers continue to learn by regularly attending workshops and conferences.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
