My husband and I are very pleased with the level of care our daughter receives. She is 1yo and was very shy. She is flourishing, communicating and loves her teachers Mr. Tanisha, Tiffany & Naomi. She is clean and well cared for every day! We started 3 days a week and have transitioned to 5 days. I have no concerns what so ever. This daycare is serving the community! Affordable! Job Well Done!! The Owner & the Director are two fabulous black women! I’m proud to have my daughter learning & growing here!
Tamirah GoreJun 23, 2025This daycare has truly been a second home for my family. My kids have been here since they were babies—now one is almost 10 and the other almost 5! I’ve trusted this place with my children for nearly a decade, and it’s the only daycare I’ve ever known. Even my nephew and niece are proud alumni. The level of care and excellence here is unmatched. The teachers don’t just teach—they raise, train, and love these kids like their own. Huge shoutout to the OGs: Ms. Naomi, Ms. Tiffany, Ms. Tanisha, Ms. Denise, and a warm welcome to Ms. Jay, who’s clearly been trained well! And of course, Ms. Darlene and Ms. Keshana—always warm, always welcoming. This isn’t just a daycare—it’s family. And I’m so grateful for each one of you.
Okuovara ElohorJun 18, 2025Building Blocks Academy is the best daycare my daughter has attended. I get compliments all the time on how smart and well mannered she is. The staff are very reliable! Her teachers were a big help with potty training. Ms. Darlene & Ms.K are very understanding and welcoming. Most importantly, the cleanliness is 10/10. My child is hardly ever sick! If you are a parents who’s not really trustworthy, but want the best for your kid, choose them, Your child would be in good loving hands. Thank you guys for all you do!
Kianna ArmstrongFeb 26, 2025I love this daycare. I’ve been with them for the past 3/4 years. My son started here at 2 years old now they’ve helped him transition into the local school system starting preK. My daughter started with them at 4 months old and now 1 year old and thriving. Saying all that to say I trust with them my children’s care and education, I call them my kids school aunties!! Put your mind at ease while you go out and support yourself and those babies
ZakiaFeb 24, 2025A great place to leave your children in the care of! Besides the nieces and nephews that I’ve had attend Building Blocks, I was able to refer this place to a few friends as well who also have had nothing but good things to say about Building Blocks Academy.
Tyree WatsonJan 30, 2025I am incredibly grateful for the quality of care my son received while being a student here. I highly recommend this daycare for families looking for quality services that includes customer service from the teachers, to the director & the owner. These exceptional care givers will not only keep your kids engaged and excited to learn, but they will also go the extra mile of assisting you with obtaining and completing child care assistance applications and referrals services like Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy & Dental exams. Building Blocks Academy has even been recognized as a Gold Standard of Quality with INCCRRA! Those who know what this entails understand the exception this daycare has to be to obtain this standard of quality. If you want more for your child than babysitting, but are looking to tap into the vastness potential of YOUR GENIUS, I would advise you to run to this daycare and tell them ‘THE PROFESSOR, AUSTIN sent you!
