Big Blue Marble Academy Martinez

Good child to teacher ratio, clean and kid focused. Activities and areas that cater to different learning styles. Kids are separated appropriately by age/grade. The staff and faculty care and puts the kids first in all aspects! This was a great experience for me and my daughter.

As Giovanni’s parent, the safe environment made a meaningful difference in our experience. From the beginning, I felt reassured knowing he was in a space where his well-being was a top priority. The consistent routines and structured setting helped him feel secure, which I could see reflected in his growing confidence and excitement each day. I especially appreciated the staff’s attentiveness, particularly Ms. Shannia Ms. Allison, Ms. Mary and all the staff that are in contact with my son. Their patience, kindness, and genuine care stood out,they took the time to understand Giovanni’s needs and made sure he felt comfortable and supported. It was clear that they created a nurturing and respectful atmosphere where he could express himself, build friendships, and learn with confidence. The clean, well-organized environment and thoughtful approach to daily activities gave me peace of mind as a parent, knowing he was not only safe but truly thriving. Overall, the environment, along with the dedication of staff like Ms. Shannia and Ms. Allison, provided a strong foundation for his growth and development.

As I have waited three months ( ample time ) to see a difference in my child, I’m coming here to update. I was formally a parent of appletree academy where the staff was caring concerned about wellbeing and education learning difficulties etc. Staff that took the time to learn not just the child but the family as well. As changes took place, the problems started occurring. As a parent you noticed in the staff , they began leaving and saying their goodbyes, then came children acting out. Understaffed, staff that are in there are educated enough to handle or just don’t care. Injuries unexplainable incidents, targets on certain children’s backs ir even being threatened to be kicked out of the pre k program . No matter how many times you went to the director she smiled in your face and seemed to make you think she was fixing it all the while you could see through the fake ……….. the day the straw broke the camels back, I popped in unexpectedly. Immediately removed my child. We went to the doctor. She was in tears. She is 4yrs . I did reach out to the person over the director through email , she requested we have a verbal phone conversation ……….. gave her a time she never called and to this day have never called . I have found a new spot where my child is thriving. I absolutely would not recommend this facility to anyone. Though under new management it may do a complete turn around. Someone who cares about our babies and doesn’t look at them as just a number. Chose wisely who you trust with your kids .

Great school!! The teachers are always going over and beyond to make it a peaceful and fun place to be. The director is always having fun days where parents can even be involved with the activities. The only bad reviews are not accurate. Those have to be from disgruntled parents that are wanting things done their way at all times. Rules don’t change for certain individuals.
