“We’re A Team! ”
We’re a team! We rely on parental involvement to bring out the best in children. After all, your child looks most up to you and we need your help in this process. We hope for a great collaboration, and our door is always open.
We help children build confidence in their abilities. We are very keen on teaching the difference between right and wrong, and we are firm believers in creating an environment where they feel safe. Safe to ask questions, safe to admit they made a mistake and safe to express their individuality.

Our Story
The dream of opening a daycare became real in 1983 when Eastgate Childcare first opened its door to children. Eastgate Childcare was known as a loving and safe place for many children. The growth became evident in 1986 when the building expanded. In 1999 management changed, however, the same loving environment continued for many more children. For many years as residents of the surrounding neighborhoods would drive by they would see a landmark in the middle of the playground; a large boat took its place right in the middle for all the children to climb and use their imaginations. In 2017 Eastgate Childcare came under new management and was renamed as Busy Building Blocks Academy. Busy Building Blocks Academy's goal is to build confidence, encourage language skills, develop problem-solving skills and creative expression. Even though things have changed throughout the years; the ownership, the name, the boat and the children, the tradition of continuing to provide a safe, family-friendly, fun learning environment for all children remains the same.
