Oak Brook School Allen

Our son has been attending for 5 months since Ms. Steph, the Director, joined and the place is fabulous! We were with her for 2 years elsewhere and love her so much we followed her. She’s truly exceptional, not just to families, but also has both vision and execution so our kids are not only safe but truly enriched! This was crucial to me as my son preps to enter Kindergarten next year. The teachers are all great, dedicated with so much heart and really care for our kids. We have Amy as primary and my son LOVES her. She’s warm and has decades of experience with little ones so I have peace of mind when he’s there. Others are great too with Jewel and Asmaa - one time the whole class got face painted for Halloween and he came back glowing as his favorite character Spider-Man! Everything has been wonderful during orientation and transition, from the moment you walk in ,with Michelle always warmly greeting us and taking care of the logistics. The place is warm, inviting and fun. They really know how to care for kids and understand what parenting is about and all our challenges at every stage, like all that my son needed when he broke his arm outside school and was casted for a month. They’re very inviting as our daughter comes for pick up at times (she attended with Ms Steph previously as well) and everyone ALWAYS welcomes her as well with open arms. Communication has always been great. They post pics in their app with updates so we can keep up and even send messages as needed. We would highly recommend BBMA for any age kid with Ms Steph’s crew!

We have had such a wonderful experience with Big Blue Marble Academy. From day one, the staff has made our family feel truly welcome and at home. The level of positive engagement with the children is outstanding—teachers are attentive, nurturing, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth. The learning environment is both enriching and fun, with clear evidence of purposeful activities that support development across all areas. It’s always evident how much thought and care goes into planning engaging, hands-on learning experiences that keep the children excited and involved. What truly sets this preschool apart is their use of positive guidance and amazing redirection. The staff handles every situation with patience, kindness, and respect, helping children learn appropriate behaviors while building confidence and emotional awareness. Communication is excellent. As parents, we are consistently kept informed about daily activities, progress, and milestones, which brings so much peace of mind. It’s clear that strong partnerships with families are a priority here. Overall, BBMA provides a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. We are incredibly grateful for the care, dedication, and warmth shown to our child and family every day. Highly recommend!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this daycare. The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely caring, which gives us so much peace of mind every day. Ms. Steph is very intentional, always listening to our needs and making us feel heard and supported as parents. The teachers were amazing during our child’s transition and they made it smooth, comforting, and positive from the start. Their communication is excellent, and we always feel informed and connected. We’re so grateful to be part of this community and highly recommend this daycare to other families!

Our family has been at this daycare for over two years, and we absolutely love it. The directors and teachers are truly amazing—caring, attentive, and always going above and beyond for the kids. It’s clear how much they genuinely care about each child. My kiddos are happy, comfortable, and excited to go every day, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful daycare and highly recommend it to any family looking for a safe, loving, and supportive environment.

We've been at BBMA for a few months now and have been SO happy with them. Our preschooler is very shy and has a hard time with transitions, sometimes. However, he had the easiest time switching from his former childcare facility to BBMA. He loves his teacher(s) and classmates. BBMA picks him up from Anderson Early Childhood Learning Center after school and keeps him until we are done with work. He loves riding the bus, and he literally gets mad at us if we pick him up "too early." I'm an elementary teacher and have been very picky over the years with my 3 kids. I can honestly say I have had zero concerns with BBMA. Steph is the best!
