Big Blue Marble Academy Daphne

"My son has been going to BBMA since he was about 9 weeks old and this daycare was this best decision ever made. The staff is hands on and informative , they make me feel so comfortable and treat each child like family. The company itself is also really professional and has the structure and organization that parents are looking for to let not only anybody take care of their babies."

"This is my second child who has been through BBM. I am very pleased with the level of care my child has received in the 1yo and 2yo room. I know he is well cared for and I can see he loves his teachers and even the front area staff. (He says bye and will blow kisses on occassion).I get pictures and updates through the app. Working farther way this helps put my mind at ease. The director is very kind, understanding and has been very helpful."

"I can’t say enough good about this daycare after transferring there from two previous daycares in Daphne. The Director has experience and manages extremely well. She knows every child and interacts with them daily. Her compassion for children knows no bounds. If a child is upset or having difficulty,she steps in to calm them. Time outs are not used but individual time with a teacher or the director is used. The teaching curriculum is wonderful. Children learn several languages and learning is centered around a country per month. The children are steeped in learning exercises related to the country. Center time is used and playtime outside. Children are given structure with nurturing which research proves is best for their development. I really like that the teachers know children from other classrooms and occasionally the classrooms are mixed. Another important thing is the caring exhibited by the teachers. The teachers are kind and express love through their actions. They may have different teaching styles but they are trained and only kept on staff if they exhibit excellent qualities and proficiency as teachers. Rules of the Academy are expected to be followed and I respect that. The academy has global projects that provide,for example assistance to an orphanage in another country. The children can save their change and bring in if they want. This teaches them compassion. I will continue to use this school and am grateful to Mrs Moore and the staff. The menu is excellent. Sugar snacks and juices are limited to parties. The school is very careful about food allergies and a list is posted by each classroom for all to see. My little one loves to go is each day. Thanks to all involved with making this daycare/school so excellent."

"My daughter has been going to BBMA for the last 2 years. We were on the wait list for 16 months before she got in. On the first day, I was so worried when I dropped her off. She had been taken care of strictly by my Mother at home from 3 months of age. I'll never forget, she walked right into Ms. Emi's class and never even looked back at me to say bye. She was so excited to be there and her excitement to go to school everyday is still there now. She's moved up to 3 other classrooms since her first day. With each new classroom and new teacher, she's learning new things, including French and Spanish. The teachers are fantastic! We are so grateful to have found BBMA! Update: we are no longer with BBMA. My daughter is now in prek at Rockwell. There have been some rumors since we left, but thankfully, I do not believe my daughter experienced that. I will say there were a couple times my daughter said "her teacher fell asleep in class". At the time, I thought she was telling a story, but she hasn't waivered on that. That teacher was let go shortly after my daughter told me that. All that to say, if she hadn't of come home happy and went to school happy every day she was there, I would have been concerned. My experience was good in the 2.5 years she was enrolled there 5 days a week."

"My son has been at BBMA Since December! He loves his school and so do I! The curriculum that is taught is amazing, all of the staff really is passionate and the director really cares, she is so nice and always helps in anyway that she can. The family activities that are planned for us are so nice & always a great way to interact with everyone throughout the school!"
