What Can You Expect to Find at BBMA Killian’s Crossing?
Welcoming Spaces to Grow, Learn and Play
With bright and expansive classrooms, there’s so much space for children to explore and learn at BBMA Killian’s Crossing. Our buildings are designed with ample room for active play and learning – ensuring students have the space needed for fun activities and lessons or rainy day playtime.
Not only are our indoor spaces perfect for young learners, we also have large outdoor play areas with age-appropriate equipment. Outdoor play is a key part of early childhood learning and exploration as our students are given the opportunity to safely build their stamina and strength, while working towards physical developmental milestones. Plus, it helps them to burn energy – allowing them to better focus in the classroom!
Unique Global Learning Curriculum
At BBMA, our lessons are guided by our Passport to Learning curriculum. Developed using the latest early childhood education research, theory and best practices, this play-based curriculum helps students meet their physical, cognitive and emotional development milestones. The curriculum’s emphasis on global learning also invites students to explore other countries and cultures.
The first five years are instrumental in a young learner’s development, so these lessons were carefully designed to make learning fun – ultimately instilling a love of learning that will help them throughout their life.
Convenient Care and Open Communication
We know that finding childcare can be complicated, so BBMA aims to simplify the process as much as possible for families who entrust us with their children. Our Killian’s Crossing location is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. until 6 p.m
