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.

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
The quality of care here is great. My daughter loves going to school here and the teachers follow her feeding schedule perfectly and she naps well. She participates in fun activities in a safe environment and appears to get adequate time to work on her motor skills.
Building Blocks East Granby has very quickly become a second family to us. Each morning when we drop them off, we leave knowing that our children are going to have so much fun learning and playing with their friends while being safe, loved, and cared for.
Her teachers are always on top everything. If I have any questions or concerns, their ears are opened and they help out our family when they can. They love my daughter like their own and I'm confident she will thrive.
