  • This daycare is so caring and amazing. The director Adeline understands my autistic son and helps him when he is having his moments. They go on field trips and have in house learning experiences as well. This daycare is innovative and feels like family. We are so grateful to have found BBMA!! It is also the first daycare my son is excited to attend!

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My child has had a wonderful experience at Big Blue Marble Academy! As a parent, nothing is more important than knowing your child is safe, loved, and receiving a quality education, and this daycare has exceeded my expectations. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly invested in each child’s growth and development. They create a fun, nurturing environment where learning happens through engaging activities, creativity, and play. I also appreciate the consistent communication from the staff and how welcoming everyone is from the moment you walk through the doors. It’s clear that the team genuinely cares about the children and works hard to help them build confidence, social skills, and a love of learning. I highly recommend Big Blue Marble Academy to any parent looking for a daycare that feels like an extension of family. Thank you to the entire staff for everything you do!

  • I absolutely love this place for my little one! Ms. Joy made the transition from another daycare so easy and you can tell the entire staff is caring. I wish we went here earlier!

  • We are very happy with this daycare. The staff are kind, patient, and truly care about each child. Director Ms. Joy is wonderful—she is supportive, understanding, and makes everyone feel welcome. Ms. Grace is also amazing and provides such caring, attentive support every day. Ms. Joy and Ms. Grace went above and beyond to support my child with special needs and was the only one who allowed him to attend with his therapist, while other daycares in the area denied this support. They create a safe, inclusive, and fun environment where kids can learn and grow. We truly appreciate how they accept and value every child for who they are. We are truly grateful for this daycare and the amazing team. Highly recommend!

  • I just want to take a moment to share my experience with Big Blue Marble regarding my son, Martavis. When he first started, he was very shy and would keep to himself most of the time. As a parent, that was something I worried about. But over time, I’ve seen such a beautiful change in him. He’s opened up so much, becoming more comfortable, more confident, and more willing to express himself. It means everything to me to see him come out of his shell and start to enjoy being around others. I truly appreciate the patience, care, and support that the staff has shown him. It’s clear that they create a safe and nurturing environment where kids can grow at their own pace. Thank you for helping my son become more confident and for making such a positive impact on his life.

  • As a first-time mom, one of the biggest challenges was finding the perfect place that would give me peace of mind knowing my most precious treasure was in good hands while I returned to work, and I definitely found it! ❤️ Aurora is the most spoiled and loved child at home, and I want to thank you for making us feel that she is loved just as much at her school. I don't have enough words to thank each and every one of you for all the care and affection you show her🙏🏼✨️❤️
