Testimonials

So happy to have my daughter taken care of by the excellent and caring staff. My daughter is always in a good mood every day and that is attributed to the different activities that they do. They care about her well being and always go the extra mile with all the kids. Thank you to all the staff at Big Blue Marble in Irmo. Big thanks to the director who keeps everything so organized. 

Amelia H.

This is by far the best child care establishment around. From the management to the teachers everyone is amazing. Their facility is clean, inviting, and has ample space for children of all ages. My grandson loves going and cannot wait to see his friends and teachers every day. I would recommend the Big Blue Marble to anyone looking for a caring nurturing day care for their child.
