Description

Our classrooms are filled with endless learning opportunities to enhance children’s cognitive and language skills with basic academics through small-group activities that encourage investigation, exploration, and discovery. Our scaffolding approach is a critical component in teaching new tasks with multiple steps where our teachers provide support for students. Our children that are now engaging in short sentence conversions are able to absorb information within our curriculum that is designed to support creative expression, literacy and music by fostering their curious minds. By introducing skills that enable independence through enriching art projects and hands-on activities, we are ensuring they are able to expand concepts that were developed in Little Explorers.

Our son was with Building Kidz right when he turned 2yo through last week at 5 1/2... He had a wonderful experience full of learning, and caring teachers. The BK program provided him with all the fundamentals and more to set him up for success in Kindergarten. Highly recommend if you are looking for a nurturing, engaging, educational experience for your little one!

Our child has been attending Building Kidz since spring 2021. This school has been so supportive of our kid and us. We love all the teachers! They also go on group adventures around the neighborhood and beyond at least once a month. We highly recommend Building Kidz for preschool!!

This school was the best decision we could have made for pre-school! Our daughter grew so much while there, both academically and socially. Isabel and her team are so dedicated and caring - I feel great dropping her off each morning!
