The mission of Building Blocks Academy is to provide an atmosphere that is secure, happy, safe, healthy and nurturing. Building Blocks Academy creates an environment in which children have the opportunity to grow and learn at their own pace. The main goal is to support families by providing quality care of young children in their parents’ absence. 

Educational Philosophy

The Educational program at BBA is based on a respect for children’s natural curiosity and eagerness to learn. The staff, in cooperation with parents, nurture children’s development, anticipates their growth, and share their efforts and successes. The classrooms are designed to provide children with opportunities to watch, touch, participate and experience with his/her whole body. BBA designs curriculum appropriate to age and implements them with attention to needs, interests, developmental levels and individual learning styles. Educators provide positive and consistent guidance to children based on their individual needs and development. 

Curriculum

Teachers plan the monthly curriculum for each classroom while also selecting themes for their curriculum guided by the interests of the children. Teachers align curriculum with the Massachusetts State Standards for infant, toddlers and preschool. The well-balanced curriculum includes planned learning experiences that support the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual language development of all children. The curriculum includes goals for the knowledge and skills to be acquired by children in the areas of Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Technology/Engineering, history and social science, comprehensive health and the arts.
