Testimonials

My son has been going to Big Blue Marble Academy for a while now. As first time parents we were nervous to leave him in the hands of others. However, his teachers are wonderful. They always send us pictures throughout the day and update us regularly. The front office staff is great and welcoming.

My child has been here at Big Blue Marble since November and I love everything about it. I thought with her starting a new daycare she would be kind of nervous and scared, but she was very comfortable with the teachers and they took her right in. The front staff is very friendly and kind. I love the switch we made and I’m glad my child has adjusted so well.
