I'm giving BBU 2 stars. If it was anything like it used to be when my 9 year old was here in 2011 when she was an infant this place would have gotten 5 stars. However, my 1 year old is here and this place is a complete and total mess. Daycare opens at 6am, I drop my son off by 8am and there are never any care providers on staff. Maybe 2 sitting at the front desk with all the kids sitting in seats next to them. The sign in sheets for the classes are in binders just messy thrown across the front table, when they should be at each classroom while the kids come in and parents can sign because people are using that same table to fill out payment envelopes and the drop box for the envelopes is way back in the cut in a different section. It is extremely messy. Front door is never locked in the mor rings and no one is ever visibly able to be seen inside. With the hustle and bustle of the day it's easy to make mistakes, not sign in, or lose track of things. They arent even filling out payment receipts anymore. So it gets hard to remember if you paid or put money in the box. I'm so mad this place has ended up like this. Also, my son has come home extremely soiled and I've had to change him in the car several times in 1 week after picking him up. It's no wonder why he always have a sleep of diapers left every week. I think I'm pulling...

This school is the worst to put your child in. They don’t care for the kids. They don’t change them I always find my child all wet even though I send her with diapers. They don’t tell you how many times she was changed or if she had a bm. They don’t even tell you every Friday to change there blankets if you forget then they will use the dirty blanket till you ever remember. I was notified my child had fell and has a Strech on the face and they put a Band-Aid on it just to find out when I took it off that it was a Big strech skin peeled off right by her eyes missing her eyes by a little. And when I asked to see the camera I was told that I can’t. What is the point of camera if they are not any help to parent, they only care about money the late fee is 50 dollars every time you forget to pay which is more then my co pay. Please do yaselves and child a favor and don’t send your child to this school. The so called director ms blondine is rude as hell as I spoke to her about my child’s face she walked away and started talking to someone else so...

My son is in the Toddler 2 class - He has learned to identify all the alphabet letters both capital and lower case along with the sounds they make, identify numbers one through twenty and can also say them in Spanish, identify colors, and shapes in English and Spanish. Through number recognition, my son is able to read a math problem (i.e. seven plus four equals eleven written as 7+4=11).

The school is exceptionally cleaned daily, the hours are perfect and should be able to accomodate any work schedule. They administrative staff are very pleasant, I'm always greeted with a friendly smile and warm "Hi Mom!" no matter what time of day.

There is not one bad thing I can even make up to say... I love Building Blocks...
