Simfran Academy

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL! My son attended Simfran for a little over a year and grew immensely! Academically, they identified his strengths and weaknesses and pushed him to work at a higher level from where he started. They helped him with his speech, writing and also really helped him feel more socially confident, which is something we were worried about when he started. All of the teachers are amazing and very knowledgeable about the school, as well as what children of that age group need to feel supported and successful. If we didn't move, my son would still be there and we would have enrolled his younger brother there because we trust them and we know they would have taken care of him. An amazing school and awesome addition to the ENY neighborhood

As first-time parents navigating the daycare world, my wife and I were looking for a place that truly aligned with our child’s needs. Simfran Academy stood out immediately—and looking back, we couldn’t have made a better choice. From day one, the staff helped nurture our child’s confidence, communication skills, and behavior. He quickly grew comfortable with his teachers, feeling safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. What impressed us most was the individualized attention each child received. The classroom environment was warm and inclusive, with every child being comforted and engaged. The flexible scheduling was a huge plus for us. We wanted to ease into the experience with just three days a week, and Simfran made that transition smooth and stress-free. Their pricing was also very reasonable, which made the decision even easier. The director was incredibly attentive and worked closely with us to ensure our child’s experience was positive and tailored to his needs. If you’re considering daycare for the first time, we wholeheartedly recommend Simfran Academy—it’s the kind of place that makes a lasting impact.

Simfran provided my daughter such an incredible foundation! She started summer camp and then a 2s program here and is currently in kindergarten at an elementary school. She is always the super star reader, writer, problem solver in her classes. So grateful to this day to Ms Althea and Ms Simon. Highly recommend!

I wanted to highlight Simfran Academy, which accepts children ages 2–6 years old. My first child graduated from here already reading, spelling her first and last name, and counting to 100 before she even started kindergarten. When she got to kindergarten, she kept saying, “I know this already!” She has been on the high honor roll ever since. Because of that incredible experience, I knew without a doubt that my second child, who is now 2 years old, would be enrolled as well. From the very beginning, Simfran Academy asked about the goals I had for my son and kept me updated with progress reports so I truly knew what was happening every step of the way. One of my main goals was for his speech to improve — and it has surpassed my expectations. He now speaks in full sentences, sings the ABCs in order, and can identify colors, numbers, and shapes… and he hasn’t even turned 3 yet! The growth in such a short time has been unbelievable. They also offer a STEM summer camp where the children have a mapped-out schedule showing exactly what’s happening each week — keeping them engaged, curious, and learning all summer long. And here’s something special: at Simfran Academy, mom and dad are celebrated too. I won’t give too much away — it’s something you have to experience for yourself. I travel from the Rockaways because distance isn’t a factor when you’re getting results. When you want the best for your child, convenience isn’t key — results are. Call and ask about enrollment. Take it from a 2× enrollment mom — Simfran Academy delivers results.

Great academics. Im getting ready to put kid #2 in! STEAM camp is great. My 5yr old is on her 3rd year.
