Parent Testimonials

I love this school, I loved it since I attended the open house and saw how much love and detail they put on the decoration of the new school, the space is bright and cozy. My kids had been blooming under the loving care of Miss Mabi and all the assistances on the babys toddler room. They come so happy on the morning, and I struggle to convince them to come with me home when I pick them up. Ms Mabel is very attentive and accomodative to the kids needs, I do believe, she genuily care about the students wellbeing. I leave them in the morning with a feeling in my heart, they will be ok.I wish my kids are able to access this kind of care for the years to come. Thank You from the bottom of my heart -Mabel H

Our son has been at Building Blocks for a year and we are thrilled with the school. He has blossomed and flourished and learned so much. He regularly teaches us words and songs in Spanish. He loves his teachers and his friends. This is a neighborhood gem that I would recommend to any parent looking for a warm and loving environment for their children! -Stephanie G

We feel so lucky to have found this preschool for our 2.5 year old daughter. We are relatively new to the area and I was initially nervous that I couldn’t find many reviews online, but our experience has been wonderful. It is such a warm and loving environment – my daughter runs to give her teachers and the school’s director a hug every morning when we arrive. Almost all of the teachers have been there for many years, and it is clear that they truly care about the kids and about doing a great job. I definitely feel that my daughter is learning a lot (including some Spanish), and I love that she is happy to go to school every day. To top it off, the price is very reasonable and they have few days off compared with other daycares. I would highly recommend this preschool. -Alissa O

My grandson attends this school and he has learned so much! He is 2 and can count to 20 and recognizes most of his ABC’s, and can count and sing in Spanish. The teachers and (the administrator Mabel) are kind, warm, and have a heart for the children. They are always available to meet or speak with the parents if needed and truly work to understand each child and stage of learning. Just last Friday, the school had a program for the parents and family and you could tell that all of the teachers foster wonderful relationships with the children by their interactions. I truly love this school and my grandson loves his teachers and the school as well! -Angel K

We are very fortunate to have found this little gem near the heart of Falls Church when we moved to the area last year. Our son loves Building Blocks Day School and every day his face lights-up when it’s “time to go to school”. The teachers are great with the kids and take their roles and curriculum very seriously. Our son is not only achieving all of his developmental milestones, he’s exceeding all expectations and we know the school has A LOT to do with that. They truly are the best parenting partners you can ask for. I am also a native Spanish speaker and to me it’s incredibly important that my son learns the language properly. Mrs. Mabel (founder and director) has made this a top priority as well as the school’s mission in addition to providing a meaningful and enriching experience. An added bonus? They also provide an American Sign Language immersion curriculum. My son can already sign the entire alphabet. How cool is that? We absolutely recommend Building Blocks Day School to anyone. -Alex and Shannon

Building blocks it is a school based on love and respect. The teachers are really caring with the children and treat them as family. The curriculum is rich and varied. My son is bilingual and they have been a great support in that regard. -Carolina R

Our son attended Building Blocks since he was 3/12 and graduated from Pre K. The teachers and staff were absolutely amazing. The school programs (Christmas, graduation, etc.) were extremely creative and we enjoyed them tremendously. They are so personalized and the students enjoyed them as well. The Pre-K class has been such a stepping stone to prepare our son for Kindergarten. The teachers have really done their homework and prepared them for each aspect of transition including a mock lunch line! During our first year of Kindergarten, we were thrilled to know that our son had already learned what they were asking of the students over the summer. His reading test scores were well above average and he was socially prepared. You can tell that the teachers and the staff take great pride in the preparation and want them each to succeed and feel comfortable in the transition. We miss Building Blocks so much and have cherished our experience! Thank you! -Michelle M
