Testimonials

I love Big Blue Marble Academy! My son has and continues to learn so much here. From basic sign language, to fine motor skills, and learning to share and play with kids his age. He is very at home and I love all the teachers.
Lydia P.

We have nothing but positive things to say about Big Blue Marble Academy. My son’s teacher and all the staff make me feel like my kiddo is part of the family. I never worry about him as they always update me on the details of his day. They do art projects, make learning fun, and know all parents and kids by name. I’m very impressed with their services and would highly recommend them.
