Building Blocks Preschool / Day Care Center

Where else can your little one play in an outdoor mud kitchen, hike to nearby trails at Proud Lake Recreation Area, observe nature up close, help to bake bread using zucchini grown in the garden on-site, learn to climb a tree, and soak up the joys of childhood? This play-based nature-inspired preschool is like no other! The love and attention they pour into the different programs are done with careful consideration - all meant to help the kids flourish. Our kiddo was celebrated for her love of “treasures” and, rather than trying to redirect her, they made a special treasure box for her to collect them. It’s the small things that really add up. The daily learning story they sent out was amazing and included photos, quotes from the kids, and summarized what the kids learned each day. If you are fortunate enough to join the Building Blocks family you will look back at those years with fondness. They love the kids, honor their sense of curiosity, and find meaningful ways to connect them to nature.

I can't say enough good about this school! We did their summer camp program and I was very satisfied. Both of my children are very picky and hard to please. They were both ecstatic to go every single day! I was extremely impressed with the number of outdoor activities they had every day. It was always different and exciting. From inspecting bugs to outdoor water play, they never failed to impress! Building blocks truly is a nature school. They are almost never inside. Unless the children want to be. They offer many choices and seem to really value what the children want. The teachers were always so inviting, genuine, and kind. Thank you for everything! See you all next year.

I love this place. When I was fed up with where my daughter was and asked a co-worker for a recommendation, she recommended building blocks. Moving my daughter was the best decision I ever made. I used to have anxiety when I dropped her off but now I know she is well taken care of. We drive 45 minutes to attend! Nature walks, outdoor classrooms, play based learning are just a few of the wonderful things she gets to do.

We LOVE the Building Blocks team and school! Every day at pickup, my child hops in the car full of excitement—saying things like “I had a great day!” or “It was so fun today!” and then dives into stories about what they did and who they played with. It’s clear they feel happy, safe, and truly cared for here. Since starting at Building Blocks, we’ve seen such positive growth. They’ve developed a real passion for nature—always talking about things they’ve discovered outside and eager to explore more. They also talk openly about feeling loved and supported, and often bring up their friends and teachers even at bedtime—it’s obvious how meaningful those relationships are. We’re so grateful to have found this place and couldn’t be happier with the experience so far! The compassion, care and support of each teacher is unmatched.

My children are thriving in this environment. The staff are compassionate and excellent communicators. They balance play with learning and always care about the well being and safety of the students and staff. The facility is clean and appropriate for the age of the children. Best decision I have ever made for the care of my children.
