Building Blocks Early Learning Center in Avon - Avon, Connecticut

If i can give building blocks (Avon) a 10 star review i totally would.
The executive director, Melixa is AMAZING. When i first went to tour the place, she took her time to learn about my child and what my family was looking for and she was patient and happy to answer all my questions and i was so impressed with how clean, organized and plain nice the facility is. Everyone was so helpful and cheerful, i was set this was the right place for my little one.

My son has Miss Trish and Miss Courtney as his class teachers and they are both so wonderful. They really LOVE all the children in the room, they care for them like they are their own. We truly felt that love and care from the first day my son was there. He is just so happy there and we see a genuine pure joy when we go pick him up everyday.

Can’t recommend this place enough. They are truly amazing. Thank you for all you do for those kiddos

We moved to Avon a year ago and my wife and I both agree that the best part of our move was finding a daycare like Building Blocks for our son.

We toured several daycares in the area before settling on building blocks. Our decision ultimately came down to the experience of the staff and the quality of the facilities. At most of the daycares we visited, the teachers had been there 6 months or at most two years. At building blocks, teachers had been there for 5, 10 or even more years. Having this stability in the staffing ensures our children have a consistent experience from quality teachers, and that those teachers are treated well enough to stay there.

We have had great experiences with all of the teachers that have worked with our son. What also impresses me is the way every teacher in the school seems to know every student. It helps to foster a community and feel like your child has people looking out for them.

The location is nice, set down from the road so the kids have a private place to play outside.

Overall, very happy with our experience.

Happy with the care my grandson receives there. I love his teachers and the learning they are providing. Unhappy with the snow policy. Understand it’s a private center but should take into consideration of the public school closings more. Why make staff travel in poor weather conditions if the town is delayed? If parents have children in school system with a delay they are not going to drop one child off and go home to another child. Safety of staff should be of utmost importance as well.

We have been extremely happy with our experience at Building Blocks and would recommend to anyone looking for early childhood care! The teachers, directors and staff are all wonderful - extremely caring, attentive, patient, and in tune with all of the children's individual needs. Many of the teachers have extensive experience and are incredibly well versed in early childhood education and care. The teachers put lots of thought and effort into crafting fun and age appropriate lessons and activities each day, all while providing a loving and safe environment for the kids. Always upfront and honest communication with both teachers and directors, well tended classrooms and playgrounds, and extensive safety protocols. They're the best in the area!

My daughter was in another nearby daycare until January (where I had some negative experiences). When I switched her over to Building Blocks when a spot opened up, she was actively asking to attend “school” every day and loves the teachers so much! I’ve had such a great experience with all staff and they are all great with her and can actually get her to nap!!!! The staff seems to stick around (not a lot of turnover) and there’s so many teachers with so many years there that it provides so much stability and consistency with the young children (one of the things lacking at a lot of other daycares). I am so happy that I was able to get her enrolled at Building Blocks and will always sing their praises.

Our 3 year old attends Building Blocks and we have been so impressed by the quality of care he receives there! The teachers are experienced, consistent, and caring, and have been truly invested in our child’s growth. I am always impressed by how calm the class is when I return at the end of the day to pick him up. We wish we had sent our older child to Building Blocks at this age too. I highly recommend this center.

Building Blocks has become a part of our family! When we were looking for childcare, we did a lot of research and toured many options. We knew from the start that Building Blocks was for right for our family. From our initial tour, to our son’s very first days of school ever, to every day we drop him off, we have the utmost confidence that he is getting an incredible education in a caring atmosphere. Our son runs into school every day, eager to see all his friends, play and learn, and spend time with his teachers who he loves!

We are very happy with our son’s education at Building Blocks. Our son started school at 15 months old and admittedly we were nervous for the transition from 1:1 care in home to a school setting. The experience has exceeded our expectations. We are very impressed with the inclusive and innovative curriculum. Our son is learning at a rate we did not think was possible. The school additionally values outdoor time which is uncommon in most daycare settings. Our son has formed such strong bonds with his teachers that he asks about them when home and his face lights up when we walk through the door to his classroom. Our family highly endorses Building Blocks!
