Description
This is an age of discovery and wonder. Toddlers are becoming more aware of what is happening around them, often imitating others and learning what interests them. What’s more, as they begin to develop new skills, they begin to build greater confidence in their abilities. In addition to personal care, our toddler teachers focus on approaches to play and learning, cognitive development, communication and language development, physical development, and social & emotional development.

Description
At Big Blue Marble Academy, we create an environment that nurtures and embraces the high-energy attitudes of two-year-olds by giving them plenty of room to explore. Our curriculum for this age group incorporates music and movement to introduce children to new skills in fun and memorable ways, build their confidence, and help strengthen their love of learning. A typical day can include songs, story time, music, and movement during “Circle Time” and “Free Choice,” which gives children the opportunity to make choices about what activity they would like to participate in based on their own interests. Our childhood program focuses on providing enriching learning experiences for young children in our child care center. Our childhood education classes are designed to support their brain development, promote literacy skills, and introduce new math concepts.

Description
Young children are permeable learners, meaning they have the capability to learn many concepts at once. At four years old, our students in the preschool learning program, led by experienced preschool teachers, are getting ready to incorporate all that they are learning at the physical, cognitive, and social-emotional levels in order to make that important transition to kindergarten. Our focus on higher-level thinking within a safe and nurturing learning environment, where students learn to approach problems and attempt new challenges with an “I Can” attitude, means that they can carry these foundational skills with them to kindergarten and beyond.

Parent Reviews
We had a wonderful experience at Oakbrook (now big blue marble academy). We sent our son there from 16 weeks up until he was almost 2. We were so sad to leave this great school behind in our move to North Carolina- and realized when searching for a new daycare just how WONDERFUL we had it at BBMA! The teachers and staff were always so kind to our son- we never worried about the quality of care and compassion our son was receiving at school. The facilities and activities are also amazing- there’s a real emphasis on learning and engaging with the children even from the youngest age. We are so grateful for our time at this wonderful school and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great daycare
I love the staff here, they take good care of my daughter and I appreciate them so much.
We’ve had a wonderful experience thus far at Oak Brook School (Now Big Blue Marble Academy). The curriculum is engaging, and it’s clear the staff genuinely care for the kids. They have regular in-service training for the staff as well. The entire team—especially the admins Ms. Christine, Ms. Charmaine, and Ms. Amanda—knows every child by name and creates such a warm and welcoming environment. As a first-time parent, I was nervous leaving my son at just 4 months old, but the teachers made the transition so easy. I also love getting updates throughout the day through the Procare app. The staff is attentive, professional, and truly invested in the children’s growth and well-being. We plan to enroll him here through preschool (yes it is affordable). I highly recommend this daycare.
