I have 2 kids that attend Building Blocks Day School III and both have been going since 6 months old. All the staff members are so kind and attentive to the children. My kids are now bilingual (English/Spanish) which I think is great! Clean center, excellent teachers, affordable tuition. I cant say enough great things about BBDS3

My daughter has been attending Building Blocks Day 3 School for more than 2.5 years and we both could not be happier with the teachers and administration. I absolutely adore this preschool! The teachers are phenomenal – they are incredibly nurturing, insightful, and truly dedicated to helping each child thrive. The curriculum is engaging and thoughtfully designed, and I especially appreciate their bilingual (Spanish/English) child-centered approach. They are so in tune with my child's individual needs, meeting her at her own developmental stage and patiently working with us to improve any challenging behaviors. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place; it feels like a true village, and I'm so grateful to have them as partners in raising my child.

There is not a day my daughter stops talking about her teacher and even asks to go on weekends. This gives us so much peace while at work knowing they have the right staff and activities for her and classmates to prepare for their future school years.

I have a 3 year old and a 9 month old. They have been attending Building Blocks for about 6 months now and they love it! The building is a little bit older, but it’s so homey with murals and decorations all around. But the teachers are really what make this school great. They truly care about all the kids and do such a wonderful job. My 9 month old gets so many snuggles and his face lights up when he sees his teachers in the morning, and my 3 year old has learned so much Spanish in just a short time! He did not speak any Spanish 6 months ago and now he even teaches me when he comes home. The teachers were also so helpful with potty training and even gave us some pointers to follow at home! I get frequent updates throughout the day (pictures and videos) from the infant classroom and the 3-yr old classroom, and it’s easy to communicate with the teachers and administrators through the Brightwheel app if I ever need to get in touch with them and vice versa. We are so happy we found Building Blocks and highly recommend it!

Me and my husband highly recommend the Building Blocks III Day School for many reasons. My baby started going there since she was 4 months old and since day one she loved it. Her Teachers Miss Rosita and Miss Jacky took care of her like she was one of their babies. She learned and developed a lot the whole time she went to that School. All the teachers are very dedicated and I can tell have patience with the little ones. I wished my baby could keep going there but unfortunately we moved far away.

I can wholeheartedly say that my kids are thriving at BB3. The teachers are so dedicated to creating a warm and welcoming space for each child. The small class size allows the teachers, to give the kids care and attention they need. They blend music, dance, art, and story time to keep the kids engaged and active. There are enough outdoor toys and well maintained equipments for kids. They provide parents with frequent feedbacks on kid’s emotional, mental and social development. Since starting school in Oct 2022, my son (3yr) has already shown improvement in his speech and my daughter (4yr) is learning to write. They run into the school with such excitement every morning and they are eager to share about their day with me, when I pick them up. BB3 is a great nurturing environment for your bundles of joy.

My son has been going to Building Blocks III for a few months now and he couldn't be happier. We actually have to drag him out crying in the afternoons. The daycare is VERY clean and there is child safety everywhere in the building. We receive pictures every day of how much fun the kiddos are having. The teachers are probably the best part of Building Blocks. They are kind, nurturing and very professional. My child like any other toddler can be a handful, I feel super blessed to have found such an amazing fit for him.

Our daughter started at BBDS I (Falls Church) in 2017 and our son a little after. My husband and I cannot imagine sending our kids anywhere else. The teachers are so wonderful and they clearly care for all of the children there and vice versa - my kids absolutely love their teachers. My daughter has been in 6 different classes there and has enjoyed each one. Our favorite things about Building Blocks are the family atmosphere, the Winter and Spring Musical shows (we look so forward to these each year) and other familial gatherings. We have been so happy with the entire experience - especially during the pandemic. It has been such a relief to be able to send our kids to school and feel that safety protocols are being followed.

Building Blocks has not just been a school for our children - it has become family to us. We can't say enough amazing things about the school, teaching staff, facilities, and the Director, Ms. Mabel. Both of our children have thrived here in so many ways. They have made friends, learned so much, and can speak, write, and understand Spanish! But most importantly they come home happy every single day. The staff at BBDS do not just teach our children - they care for and love them just as much. The facilities are bright and clean, and provide a warm and fun learning environment for the children. I give Building Blocks Day School the highest recommendation possible and am so thrilled that my children have been able to experience all of the love and learning BBDS has to provide.
