✨Welcome to Marcy Precious Little 1s Daycare✨

A Message from Our Director & Visionary – Ms. Fraser

Welcome to Marcy Precious Little 1s Daycare, lovingly known as #MPL1—a boutique, high-quality childcare experience where every scholar is nurtured, celebrated, and prepared for lifelong success.

My journey in education began at the tender age of four, when I would line up my teddy bears, play the role of a teacher, and craft lesson plans in my imagination. This early passion was nurtured by my mother, who instilled in me the belief in the power of education rooted in connection. This personal connection to education is the foundation of Marcy Precious Little 1's Daycare.

With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education and a Master's Degree in General and Special Education (Birth-Grade 2), I founded MPL1 with a bold vision: to create a warm, enriching, family-centered space where scholars thrive through personalized care and academic excellence.

Because MPL1 is located within a thoughtfully designed home with just two classrooms, we offer small class sizes. This allows each scholar to receive the individualized attention they deserve in a calm, cozy, and luxurious setting.

Throughout my journey, I've been honored with:

The 2024 UFT Chapter Lead of the Year Award A 2024 Citation of Honor for my educational impact The 2023 UFT Outstanding Professional Award A 2023 Citation of Honor from the Queens Borough President The Education Advancement Award from Pi Phi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., where I am a proud member I was also honored to be elected as the Queens Borough 1st Vice Chair of the UFT Daycare Chapter, where I continue to advocate for accessible, high-quality early education for all scholars and families.

At MPL1, our work is deeply personal. We're not just a program—we're a purpose-driven, passionate community that values excellence, love, and intentional care.

We are deeply honored that you have chosen Marcy Precious Little 1s Daycare for your scholar. Your trust in us is a testament to our shared commitment to your scholar's academic, social, and holistic development. We look forward to partnering with your family on this exciting journey.

We also hope you enjoy our eco-friendly practices, which reflect our commitment to creating a nurturing environment for your scholar and our dedication to respecting the world they're growing up in. By instilling these values early on, we aim to foster a sense of responsibility and care for the environment in our scholars.
With love and gratitude,
Ms. Fraser Director & Visionary
