A Perfect Balance of Care, Play, and Learning

Choosing an early learning program for your child is one of life’s most important decisions: it sets the stage for the future.

As a parent, you probably have these questions: ‘Will my child be safe? Will my child learn good values? Will my child be nurtured as well as educated?’

We set the standard high for providing child care in an enriched learning environment. At Building Blocks, young minds thrive and explore while they are taught through exceptional child care.

All classrooms offer “hands-on” learning experiences appropriate to each age group and focus on meeting individual child care and Preschool needs--INCLUDING the care and supervision you need before and after school hours. Our learning environments will foster discovery and laughter while providing individual attention for your child to become a lifelong learner.

We know that your most precious gift is your child. We would consider it an honor to have the opportunity to nurture your child here.

Curriculum

This is important. We believe that how a child learns is as important as what they learn, that's why our programs are designed to inspire a love of learning through hands-on lessons that make an educational experience fun!

And this is why we have chosen to use the Kaplan Learn Every Day Curriculum which is approved by The Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL). Our Director and Curriculum Specialist will always be invested in finding and providing the best resources based on current educational guidelines and recommendations.
