Here at BBO we want our students to be elated about attending school and even more excited about learning. Our teachers foster a foundational enthusiasm for learning and this planted seed becomes a lifelong trend in the child’s development. An interested student is an actively learning and happy student! At BBO Preschool, we have an outward expression of kindness, patience, love and gratefulness for the opportunity to care for your little ones.
Our mission is to provide the best quality care and education. That is child-centered, holistic and values all children as distinct individuals. While offering childcare that is safe and flexible to the needs of busy working families.
Our Preschool Program is available to kids starting at age 3. The curriculum is designed to enhances literacy development and creates a “social bridge” as children this age begin to interact and share with others. The program also balances intentional instruction with child-directed play and values individual differences. It lays the foundation for math concepts, while integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) content throughout the week.
Our Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program — or VPK – is a 4-year-old free program that prepares early learners for success in kindergarten and beyond. VPK helps build a strong foundation for school using educational material corresponding to various stages in a child’s development.
BBO Preschool is a Child Care Provider for Head Start. Head Start is a free Federal program that promotes the school readiness of children from three to age five from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional development. This successful program increases parental knowledge in children’s health, nutrition, growth and development.
Our Afterschool Program provides an engaging environment that is safe and fun for school age children 5 to 12. We offer indoor and outdoor spaces that are equipped with age appropriate activities such as homework help, fitness, recreation, arts & crafts, games that enhance children’s problem-solving, deductive reasoning, and math related skills. The program is available all year round, during school time, school breaks and most holidays. Our dedicated staff promotes strategies to guide children in the development of communication, social skills, problem solving, self-help, and conflict resolution skills. BBO Preschool provides transportation from your child’s private or public school to our after-school program.
BBO Preschool offers an exciting Summer Day Camp program. The program features fun-filled water splash days, cooking classes, sports competitions, teambuilding activities and interesting guest speakers. In addition, we make our kids’ summer camp fun, yet educational with week-long summer academic enrichment programs featuring interactive learning experiences such as STEAM concepts and creative writing. So, when school is out you can count on BBO for your summer child care needs. Our summer program turns your child’s ordinary summer into a summer of exciting exploration.
At BBO Preschool, we believe that children should be encouraged to their maximum potential through a variety of early learning experiences and our qualified, caring teachers are dedicated to the development of each and every child.
Here at BBO we want our students to be elated about attending school and even more excited about learning.
