We have visited a lot of private preschools and kindergartens before deciding to put our children at Building Blocks. It was the best decision we have made!
The teachers genuinely care about the children. They make learning fun for them and they prepare diverse activities so that each day is a unique experience. It is always a treat to see the different artworks my kids bring home. The most amazing thing is listening to them read at the age of 4 because BBNS has a strong reading program in their JK level. It’s not just reading, btw...it is reading with comprehension.
My 3 kids are so different

Best School in Brampton ever!
Our family had a great experience at Building Blocks with our oldest two children (10 and 12) attending the school from Preschool to SK and now with my little one (4) who attended Preschool and is currently on JK and is already reading and writing.
They have the most caring teachers I have seen to date. They provide individual attention to the students since they join the program and help them to develop not only academically but most importantly, socially.
I can’t forget the Mother’s Day Tea Parties and the Christmas concerts just to list a few special events

I came across this school in 2009. I was looking for a nurturing program for my 2.5 year old. I met the staff at the open house and immediately felt a sense of love and warmth from each one of them. 9 years later, all three of my children have attended preschool, JK and SK. All of the programs are well balanced and have given my children the opportunity to learn to express themselves freely with kindness and consideration for others. Building Blocks sets the foundation to the informative years and prepares children for success throughout their educational years.

The best school on earth! The program from pre-school through to Jr. and Sr. Kindergarten is amazing! The teachers are fantastic, so caring and supportive and attentive. Small class sizes, one on one teacher - student attention, incredible and creative ways of teaching your child how to read, learn math and science - all while having a blast! Everyday is a new adventure at Building Blocks. How these teachers are able to teach so much - in such a short amount of time (2.5 hours!), while still having circle time, fitness, art, free play and snack time is beyond me! We LOVE Building Blocks!!!!!

My child has been attending Building Blocks since pre school and he is now entering SK. The staff are absolutely amazing. They care for the children and their curriculum is outstanding. The only unfortunate thing is they stop at SK. They focus on not just being a good student, but being a good person. I can't say enough about this school.

This is a wonderful nurturing school that has a good balance between learning through play and learning through school work. All three of my girls attended BB. We were part of the family for 5 years or so and my kids are reading and writing above level as result of their learning at BB. The teachers are wonderful!

My second son just graduated from Building Blocks after 4 years of attending. Believe me, I had been around the block with daycares and schools with my first child. I found it difficult finding the right fit in Brampton/Mississauga. My son's two years of preschool, then JK, and SK went by like a breeze at Building Blocks because they are so professional, non-judgemental, respectful, and create a loving and warm atmosphere. From the beginning, I loved that the school has old-fashioned values. No computers, no watching cartoons and you tube... The school reminds me of the way things were back in
