What parents say
We used Building Blocks for the past 5 years for preschool and school age. My kids loved going there, as the teachers were always engaging and had fun activities planned. It was great to have reliable backup care for snow days and for putting the kids on and off the bus. The teachers and staff always communicated any changes or concerns with me. The new playgrounds are amazing and it’s fun to see all the kids playing…
Catherine Alessi · 5/5 on Google · 2 months agoWe have had an incredible experience at Building Blocks, and I cannot recommend it enough. The teachers are exceptionally experienced - many have been here for 10 - 15 years and remain in the same classrooms with the same age groups. That consistency makes a huge difference, and it’s clear how deeply they love and care for the children. The communication from leadership is thoughtful, consistent, and reassuring,…

The amount of attention and care she gets is outstanding. I have never worried about her after we drop her off. The lesson plans are extensive and have provided her with such an opportunity to grow. We love everything about Building Blocks. Its not just a daycare where they chase your kid around for 8 hours…
Andy Bishop · 5/5 on Google · 8 months agoOur experience at Building Blocks has been amazing. The teachers are so attentive, kind and patient. Every staff member knows my daughters name which just shows how close the community is. The curriculum has also been wonderful. I highly recommend it there!
