Here I go again with my advice-seeking posts!

Anyone know anything about this location as a nursery/prek?

Thanks!

My kids have been going to the sister school in Wantagh since they were 2. We like it.

The directors of the 2 schools are sisters and I'm pretty sure the schools are run the same way. I know that the 4 specials teachers (Music, Movement/Gym, Art Appreciation and Library) are the same and travel between the 2 schools.

We were at the Merrick school for DD's graduation ceremony last year, it seemed nice and clean.

I know a lot of people who went there for PreK being it is a big universal PreK provider for my area (bellmore district). Most everyone I know likes it there who went there. My son has a lot of kids in his kindergarten class who came form there.

I didn't do universal PreK since I was happy where I was and personally didn't want to send my son there. Many people I know who didn't send their kids there thru universal preK said they sent their kids there to get a beginning start on the Jewish education and I am Catholic and felt it may be confusing at a young age to my child. They say they don't do religion from what I was told but I know many people who went there that said there was some focus on that.
