My children have been attending Building Blocks Childcare for nearly a year. During this time, we've encountered several incidents, but none as concerning as the recent occurrence. It occurred while my eldest child was playing outside at the daycare after school. While on the playground, my child was pulled off the steps to the slide by another child, resulting in two broken teeth which have since fallen out. What concerns me is that despite my child telling the staff of the event, the daycare teachers outside failed to inform me of the fall, only mentioning the pulling off the steps. I'm uncertain if they even observed the incident at all. During outdoor activities, these teachers typically congregate to one corner of the playground, talking amongst themselves and occasionally yelling for the children to "Stop being so rough". I've never witnessed them intervene physically or separate children when necessary. Moreover, I didn't receive an incident report regarding this particular incident, despite routinely receiving reports for minor mishaps, bumps, bruises, or my child's behavioral issues. It's troubling that an incident as significant as my child's broken teeth didn't warrant a report.

This place is NOT the place for your kids if you care about them. My nephew was yanked down from the steps by another child and now his two bottom teeth have died and fallen out. I WISH I was exaggerating. All the daycare told my sister in law was that the kids were playing rough and he got pulled down from the steps. It took a couple days for his teeth to show signs of being dead. They have now fallen completely out. When confronting the daycare, the daycare told them they couldn’t prove it happened there because they don’t have cameras and it was “so long ago”. PLEASE tell me you aren’t serious. You had a chance to make this right and failed. You could have taken this seriously and you neglected to do so. No incident report was given at all. I bet you no one saw what happened because the teachers just like to sit in the corner and chit chat while the kids play. Now you’ll be reported because all they were told was he was “pulled from the steps”. No one said anything about him falling on his face so hard that his teeth died and fell out.There is a serious bullying problem at this daycare. If you see there was a review a month ago as well regarding the poor quality of this place where the daycare gaslit the parent by saying he verbally assaulted the teacher. He may have reacted inappropriately but it was brought on by your failure to provide adequate care. Take responsibility instead of deflecting and gaslighting because it is NOT a good look.

LETS START OUT BY SAYING IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD! The teachers are horrible at their job and should not be in the childcare industry. Once my son started going here he progressively started becoming more agitated and started saying things like I wanna hurt myself etc (keep in mind he is 5 and had NEVER said things like that before starting at building blocks) also, he would get written up dang near everyday. Which in the past daycares he’s attended we never had any problems. When bringing in items for him to keep at school such as extra clothes/jackets they would suddenly go missing shortly after bringing them to the school. I also encountered constant attitude and smart remarks by the teachers. Got told my son would be a “problem child” and to expect constant phone calls when he starts school and one of the teachers admitted other children were bullying and picking on my son and when he would fight back to DEFEND himself he would get wrote up. That place deserves to be shut down.

My child seemed alienated while attending this facility. It seemed like every time I checked the camera to see how he was doing he was playing or sitting by himself. Every morning he cried about going to "school". And to top it off he had behavioral problems here which is unusual because every time I've had anyone babysit him he's well behaved. I even had the courtesy to come in Monday morning and inform the director that he would no longer attend this facility and they charged my card for half a week due to some two weeks notice policy. (THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF NO HANDBOOK GIVEN NOR REFERENCED and I still have all of the paperwork given to me for keeping)I should have known something was suspect when the first that he would be enrolled they were trying to charge my card before I even walked through the door.**Mr Daniel is awesome though. He was very active with all of the kids. Kudos to him.**

As a mother and teacher at this daycare I'd like to clear things for soon to be enrollees and current parents. When you enroll your child we give you a packet which at the back has the parent handbook where you clearly sign and is your job as a parent to read and not ignore. Each child takes different time periods to adjust to a daycare, it can take a week or it can take a month for them to adjust from being staying at home or with a one on one babysitter. We take pride to insure a child is met to his/her standards of the parents and try to interact with the children even if that means sitting next to them until they calm down. Kids interact completely different when not around the parents . We as parents don't like to acknowledge that because of course in our eyes we only see the good but obviously that's not always the case. As a teacher I try my best to teach the kids the basic colors, ABCs, days of the week and so on but if a child doesn't want to listen or pay attention to what I am teaching it makes it harder for me to my job in a situation like that.As a parent POV I'd like to say I love this daycare, my son used to be so shy to be around his cousins and other kids and once attending here he finally opened up and plays well with other kids. He learns a lot here and is talking more than I'd anticipated from him. When he first enrolled he was stuck to his bottle and after 2 weeks he was off of the bottle and onto a sippy cup. My son loves coming here especially seeing his favorite person KK. She treats every child like her own and makes sure to make a special treat for kids who like a certain type of food.

Very patient with kids and totally focused on each child as an individual. Their meals are awesome and was very pleasantly surprised putting my daughter in a daycare for the first time and she adapted quickly without problems !

Unprofessional staff with lack of training. They allowed my child to run out the front door which is 10 feet from a main roadway.

This daycare is very unprofessional. One of the teachers called and cussed my husband because my child hit and bit her. There was another teacher that yelled at my husband because she was upset that he was bad that day. He is 3 and still learning how to control his behavior. There was several times he had an accident and they would change him and we wouldn't get his clothes back or we would end up with some other kids clothes. Then the owner told us if he didn't stop pooping in his pants they were going to put him back in a diaper. I told her no your not, that's moving backwards not forward. He didn't poop in his pants with me at home because I made him go to the bathroom. There was several times I picked him up with a butt rash that was so bad it was bleeding. They don't have baby gates blocking the back door where it keeps the kids from walking out into the parking lot. There was one day I went and picked up my kid and they didn't even noticed I was there. I left without them even knowing I picked my kid up. Of course I checked him out but they wouldn't of know he was gone until they checked and seen that I checked him out. They have had 4 different toddler teachers in the last 4 months. FOUR! There is one good teacher there. I don't know her name but she is in a smaller class. She is a white lady with blondish brown hair. But when my child is with her he is good and listens to her. According to what she tells me. And she is not his teacher. They put him with her when they can't control him. And this place has a weird smell. I have no idea what it could be but everyday my son comes home smelling weird. And the smell hits you bad in the morning. The owner is nice until you piss her off. We posted on our private FB page that the daycare was not a good place to put your kids and she commented on the post sharing some confidential information about our child's behavior which on her part was very unprofessional. My kid is not the best kid but he deserves the best care and this daycare could not provide that for him. So we removed him from the daycare and put him in a different one.

My grandson loves building blocks. He suffers from severe allergies, and the teachers and staff always accommodate his needs and have often offered suggestions to us for food alternatives. Always great to us.
