Merrick Early Childhood Center, 225 Fox Blvd, Merrick, NY 11566, US

The Merokee Day School is open to students ages 18 months to 5 years. It was founded in 1977 by former kindergarten teacher Vivian Kanter. Kanter and her daughter, Tracey Ferguson, serve as the school's directors. Merokee's preschool program is a structured curriculum where children are exposed to letters, phonics and numbers through hands-on, developmentally appropriate practices. With a low student to teacher ratio, teachers are able to devote themselves to the individual needs of each child. Its pre-K program offers more of an emphasis on cognitive learning. Many activities are based on the concept of children learning through experience, not just worksheets. Merokee's kindergarten program is an accredited program by the NYS Department of Education.
