First of all seeing these other reviews I am so very annoyed that these people are sharing reviews…read morebased on their experience from YEARS ago. Do not listen to them. I graduated from this school in 2012 and I must say I had an amazing experience. The classes and grades were very small so the learning environment is very intimate which made it so much easier to learn. The teachers were all very wonderful and cared greatly for their students. I received a wonderful education that prepared me greatly for high school, and it was very obvious in high school that I and others that attended this school were much more prepared than students from other schools. We learned discipline and respect for one another. I received a wonderful religious education and would not trade it for anything so please disregard these other reviews, because they do not apply to the current status of this wonderful school.

Okay the two reviews here are from 15-20 years ago so come on! Catholic schools in general were…read morevery different back then and they sound like they had bones to pick. With that said, my review is CURRENT! My daughter has been attending OLV (as we call it) this past year for their full day prek program. She absolutely loves it and it has been so good for her- not only socially (Never went to day care), but academically and spiritually. She is excelling at her letters and numbers (which since she wasn't in daycare I thought she might be behind). They learn about God and religion at the same time which I could not be happier. The kids are all very respectful. It's a nice small school with a community feel to it and everyone knows everyone. If My daughter is having a bad day, I can tell the office manager and she says she'll check up on her. You don't get that in a public school. And we actually live two blocks away from a public school but I felt it was too large and she would get lost in it. I don't regret my decision at all and as hard as it will be financially, we plan to keep her there till the end with 8th grade. Also want to mention their after school program is awesome. So flexible. I work from home so sometimes I can pick her up and sometimes I can't. I can call the school on the fly and put her in the after school program that day and I pay as I use it! A lot of other schools make you pay for set days with a monthly fee whether you use it or not. So please please don't go by reviews from eons ago and feel free to contact me if you want to talk about the school further! I'd be happy to help... because that's what parents at this school do for each other!

If you have kids, then you should move into a place that has this school within its district. The…read morecleanest, most well kept, school auditorium I have seen. The building itself is an architectural joy to look at, and the surrounding topiary is truly well landscaped.

I cannot recommend this daycare enough. My son went to K. Academy years ago and we were happy with…read morethat however, I didn't realize how much more wonderful and nurturing a daycare can be until my girls started Little Explorers. The teachers (Ms. Lidia, Ms. Arielle, Ms. Alejandra, and Ms. Sosana) are full of soooo much love and treat my children as if they are their own. As an educator myself, I am amazed by how much my girls have learned at 2 years old- about every single holiday, about presidents, about historical events, etc. The teachers are so creative and when I show their daily school photos to friends who have children in daycare, they are even impressed by the dedication and creativity of the teachers at Little Explorers. The staff at this daycare are warm and feel like family, and this is absolutely something created from the top down.

I completely trust Ms. Sosanna, Ms. Sara, and all the other teachers (Ms. Lydia, Ms. Arielle) with…read moremy child. They are absolutely amazing, completely focus on your little one, and help them grow, develop, and learn. This is not just a daycare or school, it is a family that takes care of your child as if they were their own (Even Akram!!). It starts with the top, and Ms. Kate and her family are phenomenal. They are dedicated to the kids and put their time, resources, and love to the little ones. They are always available and always willing to help. I have been with this school since its beginning in Floral Park with my oldest. Ms. Sosanna was there and took care of her and made sure she was given love and was fed and learned. When it came time for our youngest, there was no doubt or any other choice. We would wait for a spot here. The school itself is a beautiful home, with a spacious area around. It is in tree lined streets. Inside, it is soo warm, full of color or life and love. Everyone who works there loves each child and gives their full time and effort. There is no question, I would trust Ms. Sosanna and everyone here with the life of my child. They are not only in the best hands, but will also develop to their full potential.
