Testimonials

My 3.5 year old and 1 year old have been going there since they were each 11 weeks old. We have loved BBMA Grovetown since day 1. They take such good care of our sons. The communication throughout the day through the app, Procare, gives us peace of mind especially when they are so little and have feeding schedules. The teachers keep up with my sons as they move up, which has been really comforting for us as parents and my older son. The director, Holly, has always been communicative when we reach out and it very understanding when it comes to any issues or concerns that arise. It’s so great that all the teachers and director work so well together and know all the children at the center.

Grace S.

Excellent staff and very convenient location for families that live on or near Fort Eisenhower. You can truly feel the genuine care for your kids here and sense the cohesion from the staff members. Additionally, the instant access to important information about my children are readily available through BBMA’s communication platforms. I do not regret my decision to bring the kids here!
