About the Provider

Description: Building Blocks Playschool provides a high quality experience in a comfortable home-like setting. We believe the first years of a child's life is by far the most important, helping to lay the foundation for all intellectual and emotional development to follow. Through nurturing and individualized attention, we take great pride in providing a warm, friendly, and fun environment for your child while ensuring that your child receives the guidance and structure they need. Our program reflects the belief that learning takes place primarily through opportunities where children can explore and discover through play and socialization. Each room provides a wide range of materials, toys, and developmentally appropriate activities, which allow your child to discover their own unique interests. We follow a curriculum as a center that promotes growth and learning experiences for your child. As a team, we strive to create respectful, positive, and open community among children, staff, and parents while making sure that the children's needs come first. We feel that good communication between parents and provider is a very important part of quality childcare. We are committed to creating a strong bond with you and your child in order to make sure that your child is getting what is needed out of the program. We want you to feel confident and reassured when you leave your child in our care.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This daycare is mediocre. It’s essential a large babysitting center.
The staff is not educated on early childhood development. Most of the toys are plastic and do not encourage interaction or language. The art “projects” are all generic and do not allow the children to be creative (most are hand and footprints with faces drawn on them or little phrases).
My child went there for over a year.
There is no encouragement or challenge for the children to expand socially or emotionally and a lack of focus on developing skills in language and communication. There is a big focus on making children sit in a circle for long periods of time to be “taught”. Not a realistic expectation for the age group.
The owners and director are condescending and quick to be defensive when issues arise. They are not willing to work with parents and there is a huge lack of support for the families and children.
The center is clean and they will keep your child safe, but those are the only “pros” to this center.
I wouldn’t recommend.
