Description
In our toddler classrooms, children begin to acclimate to a daily rhythm of the day within a whole group setting. We follow the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, which views young children as individuals who are curious about their world. Our educators prioritize exposing children to a wide variety of educational opportunities that encourage self-expression, communication, logical thinking, and problem-solving. A mindset of “process over product” informs our activities and play, and keeps toddlers actively engaged and continuously interested in understanding more about themselves, their friends and family, and the world around them.

Description
Preschool educators at Building Blocks shape their classroom environment and embrace the concept of the environment as a “third teacher.” We rely on the sustainability of both traditional hands-on learning materials, such as manipulatives and loose parts, as well as resources for children to document and convey their ideas. By intentionally selecting sustainable and culturally appropriate resources, we empower children to grasp environmental concepts, encourage sustainable habits, and cultivate their roles as responsible global citizens.

Our Emergent Curriculum is child-centered and evolves based on the interests and ideas of the children. Building Blocks educators closely observe children's play and interactions to identify emerging themes and incorporate these into the curriculum. This approach promotes flexibility and responsiveness to children's developmental needs. Each learning area within the classroom is clearly defined and thoughtfully arranged to create an engaging and appealing space for children, promoting active participation and supporting the objectives of our educational curriculum while prioritizing kindergarten readiness for all students.

Parent Reviews
We are so pleased with our son's experience with BB. I have been very impressed with the level of detail and consideration into lesson planning and daily updates. The lessons and activities are engaging, developmentally appropriate, and align with the school readiness philosophy. I appreciate the focus on emotional intelligence at such a young age. I am impressed with his teacher Allison's use of ASL. I am considering doing zoom classes so I can also participate at home! He seems like he truly enjoys his friends and the small community they have built. I feel assured knowing he spends a large portion of his time with people who care about him and his well being.
We are very pleased with the quality of care, the educational experiences, and the fun activities that our children receive at Building Blocks. We continue to receive support and consistent communication from the staff and directors as well. When we needed to schedule a meeting regarding our child’s individual needs, Melixa made it possible for an in person parent/teacher meeting with both of the classroom teachers. This was extremely helpful to our son/our family and we truly appreciate the staff’s willingness to work as a team to help our son as he develops and grows. We are always impressed with the school’s curriculum, STEAM-based activities, social emotional learning, as well as with the teachers who work hard to make every day a fun learning experience. Our children look forward to the special days and events that are held at the school (i.e. Pizza day, ice cream social, pajama day, etc.) We always feel welcome in the school and a part of the school community.
Our children receive outstanding care at Building Blocks. All of the staff members know our children and they are treated as individuals. The staff go above and beyond to foster safe, caring, and supportive relationships with them.
