Building Blocks Classrooms
Our educators take great pride in creating classroom environments that encourage exploration and spark curiosity. Children exercise new and developing skills to expand their minds, strengthen their bodies, and inspire a love of discovery. Our learning spaces naturally encourage children to ask questions, which promotes a love for learning and supports the development of their critical thinking skills. These principles and beliefs reinforce the idea of our classroom environments as a “third teacher,” a philosophy that supports their overall development.
Infants - 6 weeks to 12 months old
The infant program at Building Blocks is the stepping stone to your child’s development. Our enriching environment offers space for infants to explore using their senses in a home-like setting of safety, comfort, and security. Caregivers use an approach that prioritizes nurturing care while encouraging sensory learning, creativity, and imaginative play - all while providing a sense of belonging and calmness.
Our infant classrooms allow for a flexible balance of experiences that enhance the following: Language and Literacy, Physical Development and Health, Music and Movement, Social-Emotional Development, and Cognition.
Transitional Toddlers - 12 months to 24 months old
Now that your child is on the go, they are ready to enter our Tiny Tots program! A program designed to transition your child from an infant to a toddler. With classrooms that are designed to help with each child’s transition, the children have the space to explore and grow.
Toddlers - 1 to 3 year olds
Our toddler program promotes rich learning opportunities where children are encouraged to collaborate and investigate together, prompting their early and developing social skills. While experimenting, problem-solving, and extending their critical-thinking skills, they take part in activities of interest that are developmentally appropriate.
Toddlers are quite creative, inquisitive, flexible, purposeful, and reflective. Our learning environments are created with sustainable and culturally appropriate resources to further encourage and stimulate their growing understanding of the world around them.
Preschool - 3 year olds
We honor and inspire the incredible connections that preschool and pre-k children infer about the objects, actions, and people in the world around them. The approach to early childhood education in our preschool classrooms views young children as individuals who are curious about their world and have the powerful potential to learn from all that surrounds them. Our educators employ a variety of strategies, including exposing children to a wide variety of educational opportunities that encourage self-expression, communication, logical thinking, and problem-solving. Designed to help prepare children for Kindergarten and beyond, our classrooms are designed to support the development of the whole child, and our educators work to foster independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning - all while prioritizing play-based learning at school.
Pre-K - 4 & 5 year olds
Our pre-kindergarten classrooms are designed to help prepare children for Kindergarten and beyond! To support the development of the whole child, we foster independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning - all while prioritizing play-based learning at school.
