“I truly appreciated having someone I felt like was my personal contact. Anytime I have any questions I can still give her a call. If she doesn’t know the answer, she will lead me in the right direction. This has been the best experience ever!”

“Kim with Building Blocks helped and guided me in the process. Answered all questions whenever I needed. Every-time I called there was someone kind on the phone and willing to help. I appreciate you all so much. Also answered questions in a timely manner. Took time out of your schedule to do a mock inspection. Building Blocks is to support the families and providers. Thank you!!”

“We have absolutely LOVED working with Jill and Building Blocks. Building Blocks has been super helpful answering all of our questions, even with us constantly changing our mind on things. Not only are they always there to answer our questions and offer advice, they have helped us get connected with the right people, provided us with support and checked over things we have created to help ensure we are on the right track. As two Kindergarten teachers who are feeling very overwhelmed with our big move, we have appreciated their help, guidance and quick responses. We are so grateful to Building Blocks for all that they have helped us with and will help us with in the future!”

“I really found it beneficial to families during COVID that childcare vouchers were offered while you seek employment. As a single parent this was a great asset for mothers that couldn’t seek employment before due to childcare.”

“Building Blocks was my saving grace in getting quality child care. With the help of all staff, I was able to have assistance in a timely manner and comfort in such financial stressful times. Building Blocks has given me another outlook on how important my child’s care was to complete strangers. Each person who works through BB has assisted me in one way or another. Not only have they helped me find child care, they were also personable when it came to my son’s care and if they weren’t able to assist me, they promptly found me the right people to help. I am forever grateful to Building Blocks for giving this Mama an ease of mind.“

“I have been on the CCDF voucher program for over a year now. It has been a true lifesaver for myself and my family! I cannot say enough great things about the staff at our local Building Blocks office. I tend to get overwhelmed with paperwork, but anytime I have had a question or concern Jackie has walked me through every little detail. I was able to call and make an appointment for that same week and got everything done in office which was HUGE for me. Jackie made me feel comfortable and made sure I left with no unanswered questions.”
