About Us

At Big Blue Marble Academy, we understand what developing minds need to be successful in preschool and in life. Research shows that the first five years of a child's life are transformative for growing children's minds and developing their social-emotional skills. Whether you're looking for early care, daycare, preschool, or after-school care, we've designed our programs around what your child needs for their age and stage of development.

At the core of our curriculum is a focus on global education, which enhances children's perspective and understanding of the world outside their community. We teach children the importance of giving back and helping others in need, through hands-on activities and "Heart Projects." We provide the structure children need, while also encouraging their natural curiosity and love of learning. Big Blue Marble Academy provides a true home away from home for your child.
