My son absolutely loves Simfran Academy! He started at 2 years old a year ago having no experience with a daycare or school setting before and within a couple weeks, he loved it so much, he didn’t want to leave at the end of the day. His social and emotional skills soared almost immediately! He has a speech delay though and Ms. Simon has been extremely helpful in assisting us getting him services. I almost cried when my son said his teacher’s name for the first time! If it was not for Ms. Simon and Ms. Althea, who knows what my son’s development would be like. I can’t believe we got so lucky!
Absolutely amazing! My daughter has been attending since she was 2, she is now 5 and it has been the BEST 3 years. She is extremely advanced with the help of the amazing and attentive educators at Simfran. Everyone that I’ve recommended Simfran to has loved the school. Highly recommend.
Simfran Academy is the best thing that could have happened for my daughter and myself. I’m saying this as a mom who came from Far Rockaway everyday on public transportation! They not only gave me peace of mind in regards to her safety but have fulfilled every aspect of what she was learning and would continue to learn throughout the school year. I knew what level she was on, what level she would be at, and their expectations for her by graduation. I had no issues with communication in this school. What I loved about this school was everyone was on the same page about everything. They make learning fun, they promote social skills and friendship. They teach your little ones how to speak up and express how they feel by saying things like “that wasn’t very nice or this made me feel like …”. They have a microwave so that when you prepare you little ones food it’s nice and warm. It’s really a luxury. On Fridays they had dress down day and show and tell. It’s something they enjoyed but as a parent your seeing how brave your little one is standing infront of their classmates. They take pictures and you see what your child is doing most of the day. It’s something I wished I would have found sooner. They accept 2 year olds now and I’m more than certain that my son will be enrolled early. It’s worth any commute! 1000% recommended.
Took both my children out of here… teachers with attitudes. You have to provide breakfast n lunch half the time they don’t feed everything to the kids … they don’t open certain stuff for fear of the kids making a mess. They teach absolutely nothing to the kids … my son was the only boy in his class because people keep pulling they kids out.. enter ya kids on ya own risk… my kids cried everyday going here I should’ve been took them out. Unexplained bruising…. No field trips no art work no difference. Of course they going to come on here n act like I’m tripping but it’s cool I’m just glad I didn’t enroll my other son in here they would’ve been getting paid for 3 of my children to sit in a corner all day… hit me up if u need more info. At first this school was cool until I started seeing what’s really going on. We have to provide everything they can’t even provide the kids with condiments. Nor respect. And I know they hitting on the kids . Just do your kid a favor and don’t even waste your time. Ask the parents in the area why they continue to take children out . Best of luck to you all as parents it’s our duty to protect our children and putting them in here you will see a difference in your child. But I can only inform you. It’s up to you to make a decision. Glow Carter is my social media hit me up if u need more information I live a few blocks down. Oh and one more thing if u have a job forget about it. They always closed or having half’s of days and the teachers tell u the day before to keep your kids home it’s a waste of time… but through our vouchers they still get paid. One lady who pay out of pocket said they still charge her even on closed school days which is a norm for here …
Love Simfran Academy. My daughter started attending when she was 2 years old. I can honestly say the teachers treated my daughter like one of their own. When she first started attending she was scared. That was her first time being away from home. With patience and care the Simfran team helped her flourish academically and socially. I would definitely recommend Simfran Academy as the first step to introducing your little ones to school. XOXO
I would like to say thank you to Mrs. Simon and the staff at I Love Me Early Childhood Center. Our experience has been fantastic, our daughter has learned so much and has developed so much socially that we are always in awe at the end of every day. We particularly appreciate that the children are given a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and the director, Mrs. Simon is always in the classroom interacting with the kids. I can go on and on about what we love about I Love Me Early Childhood Center, but all that really matters is that our daughter absolutely loves coming here and we are at peace at work.
My son went to school and summer camp here. Ms Simon and Ms Altheia are the best. They teach the children so well. They engage them with every lesson. My son has an IEP and all protocols were followed to ensure he received his services. My son was more than prepared to enter kindergarten and surpassed all entry level benchmarks as a result of his learning here. I would recommend this school to anyone.
I am a grandmother of one of the students at Simfan Academy. The staff and administration are so caring and giving to the students and families. It is like a home away from home. Your children are safe and cared for. The teachers give the students there heart of care. My son and daughter in law value Simfran Academy with there child and I truly love them all.
I love Me Early Childhood Center is a wonderful place for children to learn and grow. My wife and I searched many facilities and the staff at ILMECC is by far the best, very caring and knowledgeable. This is the best experience that we have had with our daughter going to childcare. She is learning and growing faster than we expected and I owe that to Mrs. Simon and the wonderful staff at I Love Me Early Childcare Center.
My twin daughters enjoy being here each weekday & have been progressing academically. More could be done to help with speech development though.
