I went here when i was young, around 10 years ago, and we had a lot of fun, we went to the beach, they sometimes had an ice cream truck come by, and we sometimes went to a pizza place and made pizzas and ate them, all and all fun, they had a candy bar and gave us really good breakfast (cereal), and for the summer program, we made fireworks on the forth of July (glue with glitter on paper), they had a really nice teacher named mrs.sandy, but im sure she is long gone, she wouldnt force me down to nap like the others would, i wouldnt suggest it if your child cant fall asleep easily, and they had a

Super unprofessional, director and faculty have no boundaries when it comes to inappropriate comments and their only way of handling situations is to disenroll your child, to effectively "get rid" of the problem, instead of dealing with the situation they created. Also very poor building security, can essentially walk in and grab any child you see without ever being noticed. Faculty walks around barefoot, with belly shirts showing mid drifts, and left my child unsupervised in a room alone at one point. Horrible center, do not waste your time.

I have 3 kids at Building Blocks and Ryan Academy. They treat you like family amd really care. They take the time to get to know each child and their family and make my kids are always safe. Lisa and Ramona are nothing but professional and take the time to understand your child's individual needs. My 11 month old loves his teachers and lights up when he sees them. My older two still go to Building Blocks for before and after school and during school breaks and they love all their teachers. I recommend the school to all of our friends moving to the area.
The school is secure and the staff is friendly

I have had two children enrolled in building blocks for the past five years. The staff is amazing, any little issue I has been taken care of swiftly. Their care and knowledge of my children is incredible. Every morning the staff and teachers though out the school greet my child by name. I am truly happy to have found a child care center that has fulfilled all my needs.

I can’t say enough great things about the staff here. My daughter has been enrolled here since she was 18 months old. She is now almost 7 years old. She loves going to BBPS before and after school to play and learn with her school age friends. Lisa, Ramona, Micheala, Nicole, Dorian, Rusty, and Kella ( just to name a few) are always there to greet you with a smile and help you in any way they can to maximize your child’s enjoyment at their facility. My daughter loves their summer camp program and will be attending this summer again. Would recommend this facility to anyone and also have many

Their director, Lisa, punished my child by expulsion to do a conflict between her and I, and her only idea to fix the problem, was to disenroll my child without mentioning it me, his stepmother, only by calling his biological mother and informing her he’s been disenrolled.
Other inappropriate incidents include Lisa stating to me "you look just like the child's biological mom, dad must have a type" , which is completely nonprofessional, and not a child care director's place to say. So the outcome to my 4 year old's experience, was a expulsion not even after 2 weeks of service. The school also

When I was looking for a daycare back in 2014 I didn't know where to go. My first stop was Building Blocks and Mrs. Ramona took me on a tour and the next day I came with my daughter to see how she would like it. I was happy to run into happy parents and very supporting staff members. After 3 months I turned around and started working for Building Blocks, because I liked the staff and wanted to be part of the team that treated my child as it would be their own.

Building Blocks Preschool offers a well rounded program that caters to the individual child.
Although I am a part of the staff at Building Blocks Preschool, my child has attended this school since she was 2 years old. As a parent, I would never encourage someone to send their child to a place that they do not feel is a good fit. I love that they offer an open door policy not just in the classroom but in the office as well. Mrs. Lisa is always up for a good chat or to share her wealth of wisdom.
