The whole child matters
Learning feels better when children feel supported.
For 15 years, Building Blocks has been part of the Saginaw community, supporting children and the families who call it home. Here, care is more than supervision. We create a safe, welcoming environment that supports children’s learning, confidence, relationships, and emotional well-being.
Our teachers help children name feelings, practice kindness, solve problems, build resilience, and feel a true sense of belonging.

Music + movement
Growing minds need moving bodies.
We use songs, rhythm, dance, and guided movement to support language, memory, coordination, self-expression, emotional regulation, and joyful connection. Children learn with their whole bodies—and have fun doing it.
Learning beyond the lesson plan
Experiences that help children understand their world.
We thoughtfully connect literacy, creativity, safety, relationships, and community to the way children learn and grow.
Literacy, identity, and choice
A book of their own—and a story they chose.
Choosing a book gives children a chance to follow their curiosity. Our community book giveaway connects reading with discovery, imagination, and the joy of having a story of their own.
Safety, trust, and community
Learning safety from the people who protect us.
A visit from local first responders brought fire safety to life. Hands-on experiences help children learn about safety and get to know the people who serve their community.
Creativity, focus, and self-expression
Every child’s idea deserves room to take shape.
Choosing colors, arranging patterns, and threading materials give children a chance to make something their own. Creative activities encourage focus, fine-motor practice, and the joy of sharing a finished creation.
Learning in everyday moments
So many ways to discover.
Making, measuring, imagining, and sharing—children bring their own curiosity to every experience.
Look what I made!
Drawing and early writing give children a way to express ideas and share their progress.
Big imaginations belong here.
Dress-up and shared play make room for storytelling, conversation, and connection.
Curiosity starts with exploring.
Working with materials invites children to notice textures, ask questions, and try things for themselves.
After school, reimagined
Art, STEM, and eSports—because interests become strengths.
Our out-of-school-time programming gives school-age children a safe place to explore, collaborate, create, and recharge. Ask our team about current STEM and eSports activities, with an emphasis on teamwork, strategy, and responsible play.
✦
STEM Discovery
Hands-on challenges that spark curiosity and problem-solving.
✎
Creative Arts
Space to imagine, experiment, and express big ideas.
⌁

Math we can see growing.
Measuring plants turns numbers into something real. Children practice comparing sizes, making observations, and asking what might happen next.
Discovering what grows below.
A radish invites questions about roots, soil, and how plants grow. Hands-on exploration connects science with the foods children recognize.
Nourished and ready
Healthy meals and snacks are part of the day.
Children learn best when they feel well and have the energy to participate. We provide balanced meals and snacks that support growing bodies, busy minds, and healthy routines.
