Emotional and Social Development

Curriculum

We offer infant, toddler, preschool programs. We also have a pre-kindergarten program for children who are 4 years of age and not eligible for kindergarten based on their birthdate, as well as kindergarten aged children who may need more time to develop social, emotional, and academic skills. Each program fosters developmentally appropriate practices and focuses on the creative, social, emotional, and cognitive learning skills necessary for each stage of development.

Activities

Our gymnastics teacher, Broccoli, comes in weekly from the Connecticut Gymnastics Academy and provides 30 minutes of tumbling and gross motor activities for children ages 2 and older. Miss Mary is our music extraordinaire who visits all classrooms and loves to bring her guitar and sing any songs familiar and new to the children. Toddlers and preschoolers get the opportunity to do yoga in the classroom.

Welcome to Building Blocks Learning Center! My name is Heather and I am the Director here at our center.

I love working with children because of the endless excitement and wonder they have when learning new things. I also love being a part of their first experience with school, which paves the way to a successful future. In my free time I love to spend time with my family, go for rides on my quad and relax by a fire.

Happy Customers

My daughter had been at Building Blocks for almost a year now, she is happy, well cared for, and enjoys her time there. Director, teachers, and staff are all experienced, knowledable, and nurturing. We love it!

Cathy Asselin

My son has been at Building Blocks for 3 years and we (and he) loves it. The teachers have been very nice and responsive to anything we have asked of them and we always feel that he gets the attention that he needs. We feel he is getting a great headstart for future education plus the social skills that will help him transition to the next level. Thanks!

Doug Latham

I am extremely pleased with the care and attention my son has received since starting at Building Blocks! He has grown both socially and educationally under the care of the superior staff, as well as Christine, the owner. The rooms are clean, bright and neat and the outdoor area is very big to accommodate all age groups.
