Diverse Learning Environments
Infants
BBLC’s infant room enrolls children beginning at six weeks of age. Our goal is to provide a warm, welcoming environment that helps families feel comfortable and supported during the transition into childcare.
Infant room teachers work closely with each family to create a smooth transition and make separation easier. We want parents to feel confident knowing their child is safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day.
Teachers follow each infant’s individual schedule based on the preferences and routines shared by parents. After enrollment, staff will discuss sleeping patterns, feeding routines, and other important details to ensure each child’s needs are met.
Children typically begin transitioning to our toddler room once they reach 18 months of age. This transition is done gradually to help children adjust comfortably to their new classroom.
At Building Blocks Learning Center, families are valued partners in their child’s care from the moment they arrive. We believe strong communication and collaboration help create the best experience for both children and parents.
Toddlers
Our toddler room is designed for children ages 18 months to 36 months (3 years old). This stage can be an exciting but sometimes anxious transition for both children and parents as little ones continue to grow and explore their independence.
This classroom is perfect for developing young minds. Toddlers begin discovering their personalities, learning independence, and building confidence while still needing guidance and support. Our teachers help children develop important life skills such as table manners, following structured routines, cleaning up after themselves, beginning potty training, and preparing for preschool.
Strong communication with families is a priority for us. We believe that keeping parents informed and involved helps children succeed and feel supported both at home and at the center.
Our classroom follows a consistent daily schedule, listed below, to help children feel comfortable and secure throughout the day. Consistency helps toddlers build routines, develop confidence, and know what to expect as they learn and grow.

Guppies
In our 3–4 year old preschool classroom, we strive to create a happy, safe environment where learning is fun, confidence is built, and every child develops a love for learning.
During this stage, children experience rapid social, emotional, and intellectual growth. Our preschool program provides positive learning opportunities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and independence while helping children build important early learning skills.
Our curriculum includes music and movement, creative art, story time, numbers, letters, and hands-on activities that support each child’s early developmental milestones. These activities help children strengthen their communication, problem-solving, and early academic skills in a fun and engaging way.
We also incorporate Learning Beyond Paper, a comprehensive curriculum that includes 52 weeks of developmentally appropriate lessons and thousands of hands-on, play-based activities for children from infancy through Pre-K. This program encourages children to learn through exploration, movement, conversation, creativity, and joyful discovery while allowing teachers to adapt lessons to meet the individual needs of each child.
Social development is also an important focus at this age. We encourage our preschoolers to be kind, respectful, and considerate of others while learning to listen, follow directions, and work together with their classmates.

Sharks
In our 4–5 year old Pre-K classroom, we focus on preparing your child for a successful transition to Kindergarten. Children deepen their knowledge in language, math, science, nature, social-emotional skills, and self-help abilities.
Our daily schedule helps children develop routines and independence, while learning is guided through play, hands-on activities, and structured center and small group time. We also focus on problem-solving skills, encouraging children to use their words to express themselves independently and with teacher support.
Kindness and respect are key focuses in the Pre-K classroom. Children are encouraged to share about themselves, their friends, and their families, helping them understand and appreciate the similarities and differences among their peers.
We also emphasize handwriting, spelling, and writing skills, including writing their full name. Art, music, and large-body movement activities allow children to explore their creativity and imagination while also developing fine-motor skills and following multi-step instructions.
Like all BBLC classrooms, we use Learning Beyond Paper, a hands-on, play-based curriculum that meets each child where they are, supporting learning and growth for children of all abilities.
Our goal in Pre-K is to pair each child’s natural curiosity and talents with skilled teachers and an engaging curriculum so that every child can grow and learn at their own pace.
