I've been bringing my children here for over five years. They are a very caring staff, and I have always felt confident leaving my children there.

Love! Love! Love!



They have a great program that promotes education for the children while nurturing them. Our children's education comes from the parent and teachers working together. BBPS has done a fabulous job with my children.



I am super happy on how the kids are cared for and always developing news skills. When I drop my kids off at preschool its like leaving them with family .



The management team is very professional and they will lend a helping hand if/when needed. I will always refer this preschool to anyone that ask.

I would like to first state that the negative is always established by unhappy people and the positive is never addressed by the parents that are greatly satisfied. My two children have been enrolled at Building Blocks since they were 16months, we love it here. My oldest is now off to first grade and returns for the summer for an adventurous fun filled summer camp. My youngest has now started pre-k and is excited to begin another year with Building Blocks. My children enjoy walking in the door in the morning and hate to leave in the afternoons. Building Blocks has been a huge impact on my children's lives and we are grateful for the love and support that they show us on a daily basis. The teachers and staff are great. I would highly recommend this Pre-School to anyone that needs care for their child. We love it here and I hope that you will too.

Our son has been going to building blocks since he was 2yrs old till 5yrs old (he graduated there & moved onto Kindergarten). We placed him into BBPS to get familiar with other kids & their speech patterns (since our child was lagging in his speech due to hearing issues). The teachers from the time we met them to the time our son moved on to his new school have all been fantastic!! They are patient, caring, able to give the attention the children (our daughter now goes there) need while we are working. They provide updates on our kids learning progress, behavior & how they are interacting with others. Now with our daughter going our son's past teachers ask how our he is doing in his new school and it is so good that they have cared so much for our family.

I have two children that have attended Building Blocks since the were 16months. They have had great hands on learning experiences and have been engaged in many activities. Building Blocks attends field trips once a month that the children love to be apart of such as the pumpkin path, children museum and much more!! The staff is very loving and friendly and treats the children as if they were their own. These loving teachers grow to be part of your family. I recommend Building Blocks to everyone interested in enrolling their child in an active preschool environment.

awfull

I was told that one teacher hit another one in the school and was NOT fired! Seriously, if you can hit an adult, how long until you hit a child? I had checked this place out, but once I heard that I definately decided Not to put my kids there!

Both of my children attend BBPS and I am definitely a fan! The teachers are always so hands on and they treat the children as though they were their own. My kids love it! I would recommend it to any one.

A Joke

This place is just that, the Teachers are great, but the management, Mrs Lisa & Mrs Val are hardly profesional, they put my child into Mrs Vals Class & I was Not Happy at all,I had asked for her to be put into another teachers room. she yells at the kids, puts them in time out if they can't write thier numbers & letters & these are 3 Year Olds!!!

They Gossip about Everybody, parents & Staff alike, I knew way more personal information about other parents than I should ever have known! They also did not call me when my child was sick with a bad stomach, they said "as long as they have a change of clothes we didn't see the need to inform you" My child had been in the bathroom all day pretty much & as such wound up sick & dehydrated.

Seriously, as one parent to another put your child in any day care facility But this one!

The best decision I ever made!

Both of my children attend BBPS and the staff is great. Miss Lisa is the most attentive director and is very hands-on with the children. They love her. The rest of the staff is also great. They work with the children academically but also personally. My children love to go there and I like knowing they are safe and well taken care of. Thank goodness for BBPS!
