I moved to the neighborhood 13 years ago and my husband and I was looking for a safe, nurturing preschool with commitment to teaching our child and giving her the solid foundation to build upon academically. I visited three preschools before I visited Francis Grace Day Care on 130-20 Merrick Blvd, while the other preschools were appealing to an extent I didn't feel confident enough to enroll my two year old daughter at the other preschools. When I met with Ms Shauna Francis and the teachers at Francis Grace I was impressed with their professionalism, kindness, warmth and was very happy to know they included prayer and worship daily to start the school day. My experience with Francis Grace was beyond my expectations so when I had my son six years ago that's where he went as well and still goes there to the after school program. I am happy with the service, loving environment and teachings they provided for my children, my daughter now attends High School and is excelling and my son's transition to elementary school was seamless...I would also like to mention the excellent work of some of the teachers Ms.Gail and Ms.Sophia...keep up the good work. .

The worst school ever all They care about is money and not the childs welfare or safety... Supposed religious people whom allow children to bully and harm other child and destabilize the environment causing all kids to follow the behaviorally disruptive kids who have continuos irractic physical outbursts...if ur looking for a school to allow your mind to feel at ease about theyre s safety/well being... Not them as They rarely ever inform u of incidences or do they document what takes place regardless of the severity of the childs injuries.
