Building Kidz

Building Kidz of Concord is an amazing daycare and school. My 18 month old son loves going and learns so much every day. The teachers instill education, creativity and good behavior at an early age. They have a structured daily schedule with art projects, circle time with songs, and outdoor time with age appropriate playgrounds for each class. They serve hot food and we receive a monthly calendar of each meal for the month, along with a monthly newsletter of themes of the month and special days they are celebrating. They have a great system of checking your child in and out and a great security system with cameras in each classroom. We also receive a detailed report each day of how our son did and what he did that day from the dedicated teachers. I am so lucky to have found a place where my son is learning, making friends, and his potential is being manifested to set him up for a life of success! Thank you Building Kidz of Concord for doing such a great job!

I didn’t want to ever send my son (16 mo at the time) to daycare but we knew he needed the socialization (and my husband, the SAHD, needed more «adult» time!). We first toured the facility and were glad to see the kids seemed to like being there (I toured another daycare and that wasn’t the case). A week or so later, we brought our son for an hour to see his reaction. Understandably he cried at first and was comforted by the staff but he perked up when they went outside (still his favorite parts of the day). We started him out at 2 days a week and now he has been going full-​time. He did have a transition period of wanting to do his own thing but even so he loves it! He has learned many songs during circle time that we sometimes use to calm him down during a meltdown! I love getting all the projects that he makes and seeing pictures of him participating! All of the staff I usually see (Ms Myrna, Ms Christina, Ms Julia, Ms Marya, Ms Keiko, Ms Laura, Ms Monica, Ms Melinda, Ms Divya, Ms Rohini, and Ms Sara… hopefully I’m not missing anyone… and even Ms Jamila who left a couple months back) are so friendly and let me know how he’s progressing. I am so glad I chose Building Kidz School and look forward to my son continuing on (he’s currently in the infant/​toddler room but will be going to the 2s room in 3 – 4 months).

Everyone is nice. My son loves his teachers. They use an app to share pictures and updates. It’s about mid-​priced so a great value.

Building Kidz is a great group of schools to work with! When you start working with building Kidz family, you join a community of professionals who are constantly and consistently dedicated to make a difference in the lives of children and families. It has been a wonderful experience working alongside passionate people. We have a great team of teachers who are always trying to make learning a fun filled experience for children.
Another highlight of the school is a fine balance between play based and academic learning, while keeping kids indulged in performing arts.
Other than that, the school lays a lot of emphasis on health and safety of children. Well balanced and nutritious meals are served. Safety features like coded doors, alarms, cameras etc. are installed all around the building.
I would recommend people to visit the school in person or find us on Facebook and see all the wonderful experiences our little one’s have here.

My son has been going to Building Kidz since he was 4 months old, my husband and I, like many other first time parents, were very nervous and skeptical about leaving our little one with strangers at such young age. One of our friends recommended Building Kidz and we decided to schedule a tour of the facility. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of the center and the friendliness of the teachers. We had also toured another more well known facility at the area and although Building Kidz was not as ‘fancy’ as the other one, we felt the close-​knit bond between the children and the teachers that we decided to go with them.
Fast forward to 16 months later, our son is now over 20 months and he’s so happy to go to school every morning and always greet me with the big smile when I go pick him up. He often comes home singing new songs and showing off his dance moves. The teachers are all so great and patient with the kids, and you can tell by the kids’ face that they really enjoy their day with their friends and beloved teachers. Another great feature of Building Kidz is that they send you real-​time reports of what your child is doing at school, we love seeing the pictures of footprint painting and other art projects.
Overall, great facility with loving staff that really care about the kids, and an awesome management by Ms. Sarah, the director. We are so glad we made the right choice!

Just updating my review. We no longer attend the school because we were concerned about the safety of our child. Before we left, the school had a licensing violation for being out of ratio (too many students per teacher.) There were other issues as well, but I won’t go into them here.
Another huge reason for going elsewhere: ALL the teachers who we knew and loved (and had worked at the facility long term) had either left or were in the process of leaving and we weren’t impressed with their replacements. I can’t speak for the quality of the teachers working there now.

I highly recommend building Kidz school concord .all the teachers are so kind to each child. everyday you find out something new the kids learned. the school offers dance, theater and music classes kids will learn new skills their self confidence increase. the loving environment, the organization and the teacher instruction are the what I believe to be a key success of the building Kidz preschools.

Quiero comenzar diciendo que esta es una gran escuela. Están bien organizada .
LOs niños bien cuidados en todo momento. Pues tienen cámaras, y eso me hace sentir más segura como madre.
Les dan clases de baile y de música. Y eso le ayuda ami hijo a desarrollarse mentalmente.
Mi hijo aprendió a socializar y académica mente esta en un nivel bastante avanzado. La directora (Sara) es super comprensiva, y las maestras son muy lindas y están bien preparadas académica mente .
Les agradezco infinitamente, Todo el trabajo que han hecho con mi hijo.
Hice la mejor opción, al esconder Building Kidz

This school was horrible, unorganized and the teacher/​child ratio was illegal. Too many children per teacher. Huge staff turnover and lots of children being shifted to one room to another, so teachers can take breaks.

Building Kidz Concord is an AMAZING school. The director and teachers are all so genuine and go above and beyond to provide the best learning environment for the kids.
This school not only provides educational opportunities with loving staff, but it also offers phenomenal performing arts classes. Kids develop their self-​confidence, emotional intelligence, and creative freedom through interactive dance, music, and theater classes!
The school is organized, has quality educational and performing arts programs, and talented staff. I would recommend it to anyone!

My daughter was in the infant and toddler program from 4 months old to 18 months old until we moved out of state. The infant room teacher (Ms. Myrna) was amazingly attentive to my daughter’s needs and helped us work through her torticollis which is a shortened neck muscle that some babies get that needs to be stretched out. The teachers are experienced and definitely cared for my daughter. My daughter always loved circle time and she was always engaged in music, stories and play when she was there. We brought home lots of awesome and adorable projects. It was sad to leave this school and I know my daughter’s overall development benefited from being in this program.

I just want to say how impressed I am with the director of the school, Sarah Gan. It is evident how much she cares about developing a quality school program for the kids and she truly seems to care about each and every one of the children there.

Building Kidz is a great school! My first daughter started there at 2 years old in 2011. My youngest daughter started in the baby room at 8 months in 2013, she is currently still enrolled. I have nothing but great things to say about the staff and the business. They are very sweet, caring, and watchful. My favorite thing about BK is that it feels safe. The staff is very alert and engaged and the security is top notch. Both of my daughters have learned so much there. They both have always gone 3 days a week but with the flexible learning schedule I’ve always felt they have gotten a lot out of the program. The creative arts program is also a bonus. My kids love their performances and I feel it has really helped with self esteem. There is a very nurturing positive energy at BK. I recommend BK to everyone I know. It’s the best!

I wish I could give Building Kidz more than 5 stars !! I have personally known Sarah Gan, the director, for over 15 years and I have watched her put her blood, sweat and tears into developing an amazing school. Her experience in child care shows in how she takes care of her students and staff. My son is 16 months old and has been going here for almost a month. I am a first time mom that just went back to work and when the job offer came I called sarah immediately. She has an amazing team of teachers for kids of all age ranges and the structure of the school is very impressive. I drop my son off every morning without any worry on whether or not he will have a good day. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, caring daycare/​preschool !! I am excited to watch my son blossom as a student of Building Kidz !!!

awesome school! I will send ALL my future children here!!! seriously!!! my daughter has been coming for 2 months now. she transitioned into the school from a small family day care which she attended since 3 months old. The transition worried me a little because she was only 1 yr old and I wonder how she will act with the rest the kids and a structured schedule. The director Sarah was very accommodating. She sent me photos of my daughter playing from time to time. Her teachers also gave me daily report (what she ate, when her diaper was changed, class activities, her overall mood today). Very useful!
My daughter started coming at 12 months old, she is now 14 months. Some of the BIG developments/​changes for the past 2 months:
— baby is saying «thank you» when you give her stuff
— a lot of words and vocab like «night night» «noooooooo!» «MINE!» «bye bye»
— EVERY TIME music comes on, she starts waving or clapping her hand and shaking her head
— use of spoon and fork, and knows to go to the high chair when its time to eat
— helps me put away her toys when asked.

Great school. The director Sarah Gann is awesome to work with and very flexible. Would recommend the school to any parents. Clean facility with lots of fun activities!

My son has been coming to this pre school since he was 18 months old, being a first time mom I was very nervous about putting him in childcare as he was watched by my family since he was born.
From the infant class having Ms. Coleen and Ms Tami he loved story time and books, when he moved into the two class his vocabulary sky rocked with Ms. Irina and Ms Santa, they were AMAZING the activities they do are out of this world, he was even talking to me in spanish thanks to Ms. Santa :) When he moved into the three’s class Ms Diana has helped him with learning how to be more independent and expressing himself with his words, he comes home with so many art projects and tells me everyday how much he loves his school and friends. Ms Josie is the morning drop off teacher and she is so loving and caring, I always know when we walk into the door she will give my son a huge hug and good morning smile.
They have dance, music and all sorts of activities for the kids, they all have become family and I would not of asked for a better group of teachers to take care of my son.

We have been taking our daughter here for the past 10 months, since she was 2 months old, and we could not be happier. The care for our daughter has been exceptional. She comes home happy and healthy and loves music, art and books. All of the teachers treat her as if she were their own daughter. My favorite part about this school is seeing how happy the babies and toddlers are every time I’m there.
The teachers write a daily report for each child, which includes meal times and amounts, diaper changes, naps, and fun facts about the day, so you know exactly what they’ve been up to. They also often send home art projects and pictures, even for the young babies.
They do a wonderful job keeping the facility clean, so despite a few colds here and there, our daughter has only gotten a low fever once since she’s been there. They have separate areas for small infants, crawling infants, and toddlers and each child is with their appropriate age group. They also have an outdoor play area and they often take the babies out in strollers. Our little girl loves the outdoors and we love that she’s able to get some fresh air.
As a parent, Building Kidz has exceeded my expectations for childcare. We moved away from the neighborhood a few months ago, but we continue to go out of our way to take our daughter here because having a happy child makes it completely worth it.

My child started Building Kidz right after they acquired Kidz Planet. Finding a new school was not easy but the performing arts curriculum Building Kidz brought made us excited. My daughter loves dancing, singing, and everything artsy so this fits her to a T.
My daughter has a late birthday and the school has really worked with us to accommodate our request and my daughter’s developmental needs. She was put in Ms. Josie’s PreK class and has done amazing. My daughter has grown so much since that first day. She is sounding out letters, knows the names of planets, can do simple addition, and enjoys learning. It’s also nice to see her get excited to say good morning to Ms. Josie every morning.
Having a child that has a late birthday we have the choice to put her in T-​K at a public school. With much discussion on this subject we decided to keep her at Building Kidz. They are starting a T-​K/​K program with a very ambitious curriculum. One of the aspects I like most about the T-​K program is the incorporation of public speaking. I think this is a great confidence builder and will improve her communication skills.
Work hard play hard! Building Kidz does a great job keeping the kids busy with fun activities. Bike day (my daughter really loved this), water day (during the summer), jumpers, special musical and dancing guest fitting the themes. Just recently they had a luau and brought in a hula dancer to teach and perform for the kids. Through play comes learning and there is art work all around the class to show that off.
If you are looking for an all-​around preschool or childcare facility this is the place. The teachers are loving, curriculum is strong, and the kids stay busy with play. I am completely satisfied with the choice we made.

Hilary S. is absolutely right — this place doesn’t need any more kids! Apparently the secret got out and they are busy as ever. The quality care from a great group of caregivers made Building Kidz a no-​brainer when the time came to put Jr. into daycare — we feel fortunate that our son got a spot!
We looked at a number of options before placing our infant son into daycare. There are no shortage of options, but Building Kidz really stood out. Miss Myrna, Miss Colleen, Miss Monica & Miss Tamie give us a lot of confidence in the care our son is receiving.
Building Kidz acquired Kids Planet just after we enrolled. Initially, we were a little nervous about the changes coming down the pipeline. Luckily, Sarah has a great vision for Building Kidz and we’ve been pleasantly surprised by the changes she implemented. She maintained the team we came to trust while improving the facility and the accommodations for Jr.
Consider your options carefully, it isn’t an easy decision. If you choose Building Kidz your child is in good hands!

My best friend and I went on a tour there for her daughter. We were very impressed with the curriculum and events the center will be offering. Sarah gave us the tour, was extremely knowledgable and answered all of our questions. She was extremely thorough and patient with us. Sending your child to day care is a big deal and my best friend felt extremely confident in her choice to send her daughter to this school. We were also impressed with the garden they made for earth day.
