Big Blue Marble Academy Trace Crossing 401 Emery Drive, Birmingham, AL 35244

"We've been super happy here with both of boys since age 6 months. Amazing directors, teachers, and other families. Highly recommend!!"

"My husband and I have been so pleased with the care that our two children receive at ODYSSEY. From the admin to the teachers. Everyone on staff there has made me feel seen as a mother and my children feel seen as budding life learners. My oldest is two and he comes home daily with new words or songs that I know he has learned while at school. There is a big age gap between my younger two and my oldest child. He attended another daycare when he was their age and it wasn’t the best experience. I just assumed all daycares were like what we experienced with him and that it would just be a season we’d have to get through. Since my kids have started at Odyssey at trace crossings, we have come to love the staff. I leave feeling like everyone is a personal friend because they are so invested in the care of our children. I get happy thinking about all the years ahead we still have to do at Odyssey. If you’re looking for a place where your children are safe, cared for, and can learn in fun and exciting ways, please consider them! I don’t think you will regret it."

"There is so much inconsistency among employees. The employees are not friendly. It is rare to get any form of compliment. The director Amanda is not friendly and comes across as snobby. However, Amy the assistant director is super friendly and helpful"

"Best daycare in town. I cannot trust any other school for my children. My daughter went to odyssey and now my son is going there. It’s been 6 years and we just love it. I love the clean environment, all the friendly staff, video monitoring system and on top of that you can directly talk to your child’s teacher if you have any concerns. You just call odyssey and ask, and they will connect you to the child’s teacher."

"From the start, Odyssey has gone above and beyond to not only give my child an amazing education, care and love but also showing love and nuturing support for the whole family. The facilities are amazing and the staff is like family. I can’t speak highly enough about their curriculum, my child is so far ahead now! Love this place!!"
