Big Blue Marble Academy

My daughters London and Paris have been with BBMA since they were six months old. We grew connections with each and every one of their teachers from Ms. Thompson, Alex, and Winter (infants), to Jasmine and Liz (crawlers), Andrea and Carley (1yr), Ms. Kim, Ms. Tiffany, and India (2yr), and now their newest bestie Ms. Nik. We love the director Ms. Tara and her AD's Damari and Ms. Amy. Tara has an amazing team. These girls go above and beyond for their students. They have made house calls actually showing up to check on the twins when they are sickly . Ms. Nik has even helped me out a few mornings if one of the girls have surgery or Dr visits by coming early in the morning to allow them to ride to school with her. BBM has been nothing short of a blessing for our family for 4 amazing years now. I love how everyday how clean the center is and it always smells good. Even the directors daughter Katie stops in to check on the kids she loves and adores them just as much as her mother does. My babies even love Ms. Jackie she's mostly in the kitchen but she has such a beautiful spirit. When my girls see her they just light up and say JACKIE !!Funny story before Katie went to college she worked near by my house when the twins and I would go in the store if Katie wasn't their her coworkers would call her and say Katie your girls are here . They are truly amazing people . In the afternoons I'd stop and talk to Tara I watch her tell each and every kid leaving by (and she says their names) with a follow by love you and the kids would say love you Tara . Last but not least Ms. Gee she's the creative one that brings all the holidays to life and all the kids absolutely love Ms. Gee. She keeps the center decorated and looking good. Although my girls we be going to school in August BBMA will still be their aftercare.

My child has been attending Big Blue Marble Academy since she was six months old, and I couldn’t be happier. She has learned so much, and the teachers are absolutely amazing—caring, patient, and truly dedicated. I especially want to give a huge shout-out to Alex, Jasmine, and Shanikwha. You all do an awesome job, and my baby loves you dearly. As a parent, it means everything to know your child is loved and well cared for. Highly recommend Big Blue Marble Academy!

Mrs. Tara has changed our whole outlook on big blue marble ever since she has taken over, with the great communication and the willingness to be involved in every way. Along with her kindness and always a smile very welcoming and reassuring. Our kids are always excited to see her and she has made an amazing impact at our school and on our kids.

Beyond thankful for Mrs. Tara and the amazing staff! I love seeing the smile on my son’s face everyday when I pick him up as he tells me about his day and what he learned. So happy we made the switch to this daycare.

We have been coming to BBM Irmo for 2 years and I can’t imagine a better daycare for my child. Miss Tara and Amy are easy to communicate with and address any concerns in a timely manner. They have created a fun and nurturing learning environment which makes me feel at ease while I am at work. My child has loved every teacher and assistant teacher who has come into her life! My child comes home speaking Spanish and is excited to tell me everything she’s learned! She always wants to show Miss Tiffany pictures of what we did on the weekend and talks about her teacher and friends in an excited tone everyday! We love this place so much!
