Welcome Waterford Lakes Parents to Big Blue Marble Academy!

We are thrilled to bring our Big Blue Marble Academy (BBMA) program to Waterford Lakes! We were impressed with the staff and the program that was built here and can’t wait to further develop the quality of care, service, and curriculum that you are accustomed to. 

With over 30 years’ experience in the childcare industry, our team brings to you a program that gives children a global education for a solid foundation in preparing them for what their future demands. Our Big Blue Marble represents the world—the endless opportunities for every child, giving them a passport that leads to a bright future. While we have 39 other locations, we have experienced regional teams that are able to execute our program successfully, while maintaining a family-centered atmosphere.

Children are inspiring to her and she appreciates the time spent with each one. She strives to create a welcoming and safe atmosphere for everyone here at the Big Blue Marble Academy.
