2011 Winner!

Long Island Press

 Voted Best Daycare Center on Long Island 

We are a licensed day care in a self- contained building in the heart of Merrick.
TLC currently has 50 children at the center.  We care for children from 6 weeks old to 5 years old.  Our ratios are lower than mandated.  We have 3 infant rooms which allows for more physical development for older babies and more love and care for smaller infants.  Our toddler room is full of activity for curious and active minds.  Our pre-school programs allow for creativity and advancement academically.

Our Philosophy

TLC Day Care provides a positive learning environment for your child that enhances his or her level of development. Through play experiences and the guidance of specially trained staff, your child will be exposed to situations that will stimulate:

1. Curiosity, initiative and independence

2. Self- esteem and decision-making capabilities

3. Interaction with and respect for others

4.Physical activity that develops gross-motor skills

5.Communication skills

6.Fine-motor development

We believe that children learn through play. Therefore, we encourage the children to explore, create, and share the creations they have made with their imaginations. Discovery centers are play areas that have various materials such as blocks, dramatic play, trains, cars, music and art. The children have the freedom to choose centers throughout the day.
