About Us

At Building Blocks Academy, we believe that the early years of a child’s life are the most important building blocks for their future. Located in the heart of Spartanburg, our academy has proudly served families in the community by providing high-quality childcare and early education for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old.

What began as a simple vision to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young learners has grown into a trusted center where children develop academically, socially, and emotionally. Over the years, Building Blocks Academy has become more than just a childcare facility. It’s a place where children feel loved, families feel supported, and lasting foundations for learning are built every single day.

After undergoing a full year of renovations and reflection, we’re excited to relaunch with renewed energy, an inspiring new leadership team, and a deepened commitment to excellence. With the guidance of our new Director, Ms. Yolanda Staley, and a passionate team of educators, we’re stepping into this next chapter ready to continue what we do best: Shaping young minds one block at a time.
