One of the best places in Greenwood to take your children. The staff really care about the kids, and they put on really nice events for them. Competitive rates also. A+

Its not perfect. But as a single mother with no support system. Everyone treats me like family and they look out for my kids even when they are hard to deal with. Plus they try hella hard to have fun family events. They have had a lot of turn over which sucks to some people. But there are plenty of AMAZING teachers here and I feel like my babies are safe. :) what more can you ask for then feeling welcome and that your kids are safe?

Amazing place to take your child. My son loves it there! He reaches for his teachers every morning. As a first time mom it gives me a sense of relief knowing he is in a place where he is loved! Every place has ups and downs but I definitely see more ups then downs! Whenever I have an issue its resolved. Thank you for loving my child

My toddler started attending Building Bridges almost 2.5 years ago, he is now 3. I was initially impressed with the building itself. The classrooms are huge, there is a play area, and a very large gym...and library. It was evident that education was important to them.Since being a student, my son has grown socially and academically. He is far ahead of others his age. His teachers are incredible and has such innovative ways to spark a childs imagination and interest in learning.Not only are they great teachers, but also care givers. They truly love my child. They go out of their way to make sure he has a great day.Ive never had a problem at Bridges that wasnt immediately solved.Id also like to mention all the extras. They have an awesome Christmas Jubilee, Valentines party, mothers day pictures, and an amazing outdoor learning area.If you are looking for quality daycare, where they will teach your child, give them a call. Tiffany is awesome and can answer any of your question you might have.

My two sons have been going here since late 2015 and I could not be happier. My oldest son is now in kindergarten ( he still goes to the before and after program) and he was more than prepared for elementary school thanks to his amazing teachers. My youngest son enjoys his time there and they still continue to assist him with his mental and physical development every day. I would recommend this daycare.

My child has been going here for a little over a year now. Hes got some wide spread food allergy issues and the staff has been great at taking care of him and meeting our needs on the allergy front. They also work with us on cloth diapering, which is awesome. The teachers are great and its clear they care about the children. We absolutely love that Tiffany is always willing to answer whatever questions we have and work with us on any issue that might arise. Being a first time parent can be nerve wrecking when leaving your little one, but shes always helped make us feel 100% comfortable about leaving our child in their care.

I cant say enough great things about this facility and all the teachers and administrators involved. A loving, caring, and awesome facility that truly loves each and every child like their own. There were days that my child didnt want to leave when I would pick her up! All interactions with staff and administrators were completely professional and I knew that I could count on them so that I could rest easy at work knowing that my child was taken care of and happy. We moved to Florida and I truly miss my Building Bridges family. Keep up the Great work! You guys are sculpting our future leaders!

I have three girls and they all were going to this loving place. I had one school aged at the time and transportation was given at my request. I also had two in full daycare and they were happy to go everyday and sometimes they wanted to stay. The childcare providers and staff were very receptive to any concerns I had regarding my children. Thanks again and I will always refer this facility to anyone in need!

There is no such thing as a perfect person to care for your child in your absence, so I truly dont expect perfection. I expect communication and consistency though, and I am sad to say I did not receive it at Building Bridges. This daycare is not the worst daycare in Greenwood, but it is not the best. They rescued me when I was in a tight spot between a Public Safety schedule and my babysitter quitting, and at the time I was very thankful. Im not into public bashing anyone or any business, so I am not going to post anything beyond there is a huge communication problem and consistency issue here. If youd like to know parent to parent my story than I am happy to share in private. I paid for my kids to go there for their last two weeks even though I didnt send them, because regardless of personal issues they are a business and I respected that. I left my job that I loved and took a desk job that paid more because I wanted them to go elsewhere that cost more (alot more), and while I sincerely miss my public safety job....I do not regret it. My kids love where they go and the communication and consistency is 100% worth it. Thank you Building Bridges for helping me in my time of need, and I hope you can be receptive towards the constructive criticism and grow from it. Best of wishes.

My Daughter has been going here for 7 months now and she absolutely adores it. The staff is very attentive and has been extremely helpful. I really have to commend Tiffany specifically for her amazing work with the kids and the operations of the daycare. I could not be happier with Building Bridges, and neither could my daughter.

My son has been going to Building Bridges a little over a year now and he loves going here. He will walk up to any of the teachers on his own which helps me know he feels comfortable to be here. He has learned to do sign language, and he is so much more talkative. The staff here is great and have answered any questions I have and have also listened and respected a few things that I wanted for my son while he is in there care. I would recommend this daycare to anyone who asks.

Our son was there about 1 year. They have a nice big building, learning program is good, food is good, price is fair. There are some moments i didnt like about this place. Our clothes disappeared sometimes, teachers changed many times. We had an issue with a new teacher who didnt know how the butterfly stitches look like and removed them😠😡. Our son doesnt want to go there.

The staff is excellent. I started taking care of my daughter when she was 8 months old. My daughter is skeptical of people but she took right too the women that work here so that made me a happy ftm. I then had twins 2 months later and they were with them as well. My babies were all happy babies everyday and that makes for a happy mommy. We have recently moved to Georgia and wish they had a Building Bridges Early Learning Center down here.

My children transitioned from being with a loved one everyday since birth to Building Bridges a few months ago. It was a HUGE change and we were all nervous. Everyone there helped my kids and I to get comfortable with this big change and I got calls and picture updates throughout the day reassuring me that my kiddos were okay. I love that they go above and beyond to make sure our needs are met. All of the staff is very friendly and easy to talk to. It is a great place to take your children!!

Ive had my son at Building Bridges since he turned one. Over the last 2.5 years he has been cared for by some amazing teachers and it shows. Experienced teachers have provided a loving, nurturing environment for him to learn, grow, explore, and play, as any young toddler and preschooler should. Thanks to their support, he has grown into an intelligent young boy.The few instances where I had issues or concerns, the administrators were quick to listen and help appease my worries or find a solution to a problem. The ability to talk one on one with teachers and administrators immediately really shows they care and are dedicated to making their small daycare be a sanctuary for children.I encourage anyone considering a new daycare to go in and really see how they work. Talk with Tiffany, take a tour, visit a class, talk to a parent, and youll see theyre working hard to not just watch, but teach and care for children while parents work.

This daycare is incredible! The passion and desire the teachers show to children with their actions and kindness. The staff go out of their way to help any child to make them feel comfortable. I have had nothing but great experiences with Building Bridges.

My children have been going here for 2 years and a few months. It breaks my heart that so many people come online to bad mouth this wonderful center! If I have had any issues I’ve addressed them and they were resolved right away! This center is amazing and my children will continue to go here until they age out of the program! Yes they have had some issues with staff, but it was resolved in under 24 hours! Don’t always believe what you read without knowing the whole story! I would give this center more stars if I could!

My kiddos have been going to Bridges for almost a year now and they love it. I am grateful for the interactions they have with other kids, healthy meals and snacks, nap time schedules and outdoor play. All of the teachers Ive met genuinely seem to care as well!

This is a great place to take your kids! The staff is great and the teachers treat your kids like family. My son is a very picky about who he goes to, but he is very attached to several of the teachers there. We have been here since opening day with our kids and are very pleased. Its not just a place that watches your kids, but they interact with them and teach them something everyday. I have an entire drawer of art projects sent home with both my daughter and son. Overall I am very pleased with our experience.

My children have been attending for a year and a half and have grown so much since starting here. They love their teachers and fellow classmates and I am confident my 4 year old will be beyond ready for kindergarten next year. We are life long fans of the program!!

If I could give less than one star, I would. My three year old went here and was super excited at first. But started throwing fits and having panic attacks because she wouldnt want to go. The teachers would scream, and I mean SCREAM at the toddlers. The teacher she had at the time told me she could tell she was afraid & that it wasnt normal how the teacher next door treated those kids and how she would yell at them. That place is SO unorganized and disfuncional. No one knows whats going on. Every time I would drop her off/ pick her up she would be in a different classroom and no one knew where she was half the time. They have this app that tells me when shes signed out (gets picked up) and there have been multiple incidents where they accidentally signed her out which made us think someone took her. They dont have a real playground outside, its just a bunch of old toys in a ghetto fenced in area in a parking lot. They took pictures of her (rarely) but when they did, you could tell how unhappy she is in every picture. They have a new teacher every week and over load the classrooms with kids when theres only one teacher. I remember dropping. Her off & the teacher was having a nervous breakdown which freaked my daughter out to the point where she was crying and didnt want me to leave. We tookHer out of that terrible place, and now she refuses to go to any other school because they traumatized her so bad. Shes terrified of the teachers and scared shes going to get bullied and hit. (Which happened on occasion and no one did anything about it). They barely ever do any crafts or take them out to play. They also make the kids all use the same bathroom at once and dont get any privacy at all. My daughter is well advanced and told me she saw a penis at school and would complain she didnt get any privacy at all and everyone would see her naked. We talked to the lady in charge aboutIt and she said it would get fixed and never did. We only brought her here because of all the good reviews. If you want a trustworthy school that actually teaches your children and is safe, I would never bring your child here.

There was no front door security at all. There was no one at the front desk. Anyone could walk in and the playground was old and in the parking lot.

I have been with Bridges off and on since they opened. When i say off and on thats only because my kids only attend on school breaks. I have had nothing but good experiences. They treat my children like family. My kids get excited knowing they will be attending and seeing their favorite teachers. Its great to have a facility you can trust looking after your babies when you cant be there.

Building Bridges has been a unique experience for us. When I was about to give up on looking for a daycare that understood and could handle my sons special needs they really surprised me with their professionalism and understanding nature. Their parent-teacher communication is outstanding and I never have to worry about what happened. This center is more like a family environment than a daycare and we are glad to be a part of it. Thanks to Ms. Debbie, Mr. Scott, Ms. Donna, and Ms. Tiffany especially for all of their dedication and caring! We have been to many daycares, even been through daycares that have abused and mistreated him but Ive never had any doubts when dropping them off to you guys. I highly recommend this center. If you love your kids and are looking for a center where they will be in a loving environment where they will not only learn but also be taught to follow the rules as well, this is the perfect place!

Building Bridges is simply AHH-MAZING! Its a brand new facility with so many options for my two daughters! The staff is so nice and very friendly, I feel as if they are part of the FAMILY! Both of my girls attend Bridge daycare/preschool and LOVE it! They even offer before and after school care for my oldest (she is 6 years old) and provide TRANSPORTATION to her school! That alone is PRETTY awesome!The most important feature about Building Bridges is that my girls are well taken care of! My life is in that building on a daily basis and the staff realizes the importance of each childs well-being! I feel at ease leaving my girls there and know they are safe.Also, their hours are great! Im a student in nursing school and I needed a place that is flexible as well as some place that offer hours that fit as close to a nurses schedule! Their prices are very competitive; better than some of the other facility daycares around! Believe me there are so many options and for the quality of care my girls receive, the price is ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY PENNY!Amazing facility:)

If I could give negative stars I would! This is one of the most worste experiences Ive ever had with a daycare! They do not care for your child if your child has extra abilities they punish them for obscene things. They place your child in time out which is not ok with the state! Nor me as a mother it is not your job to punish my child! They also refused to let my son come back to the school unless I placed him on medication!...(which he is reminded of by the administrators if he has taken the medication also told my child he needs to take more medication) my son is adhd, adhd is not something hard to deal with in a child! Also this daycare is stealing parents money ! Because I did not get a receipt for cash payments I have made they decided to pocket my money and then 9 months later they proceed to tell me they let me go 6 months with out making a payment........im sorry but since your so worried about bills (as we discussed in the middle of the school arguing infront of other parents and students) why on earth would you let a parent get 6 months behind on making payments then try to charge late fees on top of that! And try to tell me my ccdf copay had went up...i had to go out of my way to go down to the ccdf office and get a piece of paper to show you my copay had never changed.....which you already knew that! Also not to forget to mention how many teachers my son has been thru with your school 9 to be exact in 9 months! In my opinion I would never send anyones child to the school/daycare

This daycare is horrible. The worst ever. LOs diaper was always soaked. I did a count of diaper one time and they never changed LO. In addition, my other LO who was potty trained dreaded this place to the point that LO was peeping at nap all the time, and cried every time it was time to go to that daycare center. Until this day LO says doesnt want to go back there, and say didnt like it. One last thing, the personnel is very rude and sooooo unprofessional. Both directors constantly yell at children, it is very disturbing. Also, check IN State inspection report were they were cited for child neglect/abuse. Looking back, I feel so bad as a parent to have exposed my LO to such a negative/poor environment. DO NOT TAKE YOUR KID THERE. It is HORRIBLE. I wonder where all the positive comments below are coming from. I believe those comments and once there realized these were very erroneous. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE daycare center.

This daycare is horrible. I am so glad my kids do not have to go here this year! The teachers are VERY rude and unprofessional. My son has autism and these adults would mock my son and make rude comments. Do NOT send your child here. Trust me, please. This is not where you would want your child to be****Update**** To the owner who responded to my review...me and my husband did in fact bring all of our issues to your staff and managment, numerous of times. Everytime they fell on deaf ears. Nothing was addressed. It was ignored. Things just got worse. Sorry but my opnion will never change. Our experience was just horrible. Hopefully things at your center have changed for the better
