I could not be happier with the care my children have received while at Building Blocks Child Care Center, their home away from home. As a Building Blocks graduate myself (class of ‘90!), I was thrilled to learn that they had openings that could accommodate both of my daughters’ schedules. Sending your child to day care can be excruciating, but knowing your babies are safe, nurtured, genuinely cared for, and educated all at the same time makes the decision much easier.The staff at Building Blocks is truly incredible. It is very obvious that the entire team is well-versed in child development and care. They have been instrumental in helping me identify my girls’ needs and have helped me in nurturing all areas of their development best. My girls are 2 years apart and could not be any more different in terms of needs—one struggled socially (thanks, Covid!) and one is super sassy and needed some gentle guidance in functioning as part of a class. Their respective teachers worked with them, using their strengths to help with their needs, to individualize their care and prepare them for the big world of elementary school.We all know how crucial a solid early education is for our children. As my older daughter moves on to kindergarten shortly, I am relieved she will have the academic skills and social-emotional readiness necessary to meet the challenges she will inevitably face and I cannot thank Building Blocks and its wonderful, caring, compassionate, accommodating and patient staff for that. There is no greater gift a parent can receive than the knowledge and confidence that your children will shine.Side note: get on the waiting list early—they fill up quickly, for obvious reasons!

The only child care facility I would trust with my children. Very professional and the programs give your children an edge when they start school.

My son started here at age 2 and has flourished. There is always that worry when sending your child to be cared for by others but I have yet to feel an ounce of worry. He is now in the Threes class with Olivia and my husband and I couldn't be happier. Having a place that is focused on teaching children to prepare them for school as well as allowing them to just be kids, is exactly what our little ones need and Building Blocks definitely delivers!

Very professional! My nephew and older son both attended and my infant currently attends. They are always very helpful and kind. My infant loves everyone there and gets excited when he sees them!

As an employee at Building Blocks, I am completely shocked by what was written in a recent review. Every head teacher at Building Blocks is highly qualified and well educated and some are even working on reaching higher education. Everyone at this daycare is there for their students. We put our hearts and soul into every moment we spend with our Students. Since I started at Building Blocks almost 3 years ago, I have seen amazing teachers teach these young children about more than just the alphabet. I have seen all the teachers at Building Blocks teach their students about love (by showing them what it feels to be loved), friendship (by being their friend when they need it and helping them make those friendships with the children in their class), and self control which is the main way every head teacher and teaching assistant in each classroom disciplines their students and how they are taught to disciple each the children. Each teacher watches their students as if they were their own children in their family because we love them like they are. If you really want to know more about this daycare, come in and visit us. Take a tour given by one of the four amazing office staffers who are able to answer any of the questions you have way better than one bad review on google can do. As for our owner, Maria Marino, she is one of the best owners/employers I have ever worked with. She is someone who puts the children and their families first. She makes sure all of her teachers have what they need to best suit their students as well as making sure our building is safe and well taken care of.

My 2 daughters attended Building Blocks several years ago. What a wonderful, life-changing experience! The staff are nurturing and supportive. The social and educational exposure provided to them during their time at Building Blocks has been an amazing stepping stone to what, I am sure, will be a productive and fulfilling life. There are other child care centers around, but I am so glad that I chose Building Blocks for my children!

All three of our kids have gone/are going to Building Blocks. We love Building Blocks and the whole staff. They provide a safe, comfortable, fun place to learn and grow. The staff is professional and genuinely cares about every child. I would definitely recommend Building Blocks to anyone looking for child care.

Building Blocks is one of the best childcare facility in Orange County. I have to say the care and the attention details is truly amazing. They are clean and always teaching the children to prepare for school. They become part of your family.One of the sadness day's was graduation, my child and I miss them.Building Blocks Child Care is the only place you should go.

My family loves this place, my three year old daughter has learned so much here. The owner and the teachers are awesome! If you need to switch a day or add a day, they do whatever they can to work with you. They are so understanding to your needs. They are very compassionate with you and your child. It's really one big family, that's how you feel the moment you walk through the door. They treat your child like it's one of there own. My child is so safe there, that you need a key tag to get in so no one off the street could just walk in. My daughter has been going there for three years and I'm so glad that we picked this place, I couldn't ask for anything better

This is a fantastic day care! Not only is the facility sparkling clean but the staff is wonderful and so friendly. My son has grown and learned so much in the short time he has gone here. I feel so comfortable dropping him off too. The girls in the morning are so amazing. They bring my son to the window to wave to me as a drive by. It is these little things that make such a difference and i appreciate it. I really cannot say enough good things about Building blocks.

Sorry for this long post, but I can not say enough positive things about Building Blocks! I was employed at Building Blocks about 14 years ago, and I can honestly say that this establishment prepared me so much for my career in teaching. So much so, that I continue to use their morning calandar routine to this day! The staff is amazing! They work together as a family. I have friends and co-workers who send their children to other centers and they all talk about such a turn-around with staff and teachers. This does not happen at Building Blocks, as the staff that I worked so closely with are still there today and they are all so amazing! They truely have a passion for what they do, and they treat your child like their own! I also have to say how clean the daycare is. Maria,the office staff, and the head teachers are so on top of things when it comes to keeping each room as clean and sanitized as possible! When it was time for my son to begin "school," there was no question about where we would send him! He is a super shy little boy and although I was comfortable with him starting Building Blocks, I was a nervous wreck! The staff(Casey) went out her way to make the transition (for both of us.. Lol) as easy as can be, and she still goes out of her way every morning for my little guy ( So does Becca and Brittany), but omg the progress that he has made in 9 months has been incredible! Tracey and Laura are just fabulous teachers and this shy little boy of mine is slowly, but surely coming out of his shell and he just loves school. It makes my days so much easier knowing that he is in such great hands! I love the monthly calandars, newsletters, projects, and the daily dish that comes home with him. He is so proud of himself at the end of the day, and as a parent, I could not ask for more! I'm looking forward to him continuing with Building Blocks. I can't thank all the staff enough!

My daughter has only been at Building Blocks a short time, but I have seen such impressive improvements in her development (potty training, learning her number and letters, and teaching her self worth) We are very grateful to the staff and all they have done for her. Tracey and Laura especially have been great with her.
