Preschool AM Traditional
Monday, Wednesday and Friday Morning
1:8 teacher to child ratio
9:00 am-12:30 pm
For many children this is their first experience with non-family members, and
their first exposure to a social environment with their peers. Our comfortable,
nurturing environment helps to ease the transition as they grow and adjust in
their new surroundings. Children are welcomed at their individual stage of
development and will be encouraged to continue their development individually.
Our traditional preschool program follows the Huron Valley School Districts
Academic Calendar. Children enrolled in our Preschool program at Building
Blocks must be 3 years old on or before December 1, of the academic school
year. Building Blocks preschool currently runs a 3-5 year old program, which
will operates from September to June.
