Description: Building Blocks Child Care & Learning Center provides quality child care for children ages 6 weeks through 5 years old. We utilize the Tadpoles App to communicate daily with our parents. We implement My Teaching Strategies, Creative Curriculum in all of our classrooms.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

After 1 year and several reminders, the owner neglected to return my deposit after she was unable to enroll my child in daycare. When I commented this on a Facebook page, she and her workers attacked me. She called me after to argue with me. Unprofessional all around. Don’t go here.
