We were thrilled to share the room with so many brilliant, talented, passionate speakers at last month's International Congress on Brain Sciences - Early Childhood Care & Education in France. Thanks to Babilou Family and UNESCO's efforts to bring all of these global thought leaders together on the international stage, our team was constantly inspired by the many philosophies shared, and how we as early educators can continue to evolve our approaches and practices in the classroom. #EarlyEducation #BrainScienceCongress2024

About us
BBELC has created a childcare in which every child is invited and encouraged to participate in our ever growing and diverse environment. We celebrate our differences and discoveries together as a close-knit family. Our classrooms welcome all developmental stages and we foster personalized instruction to ensure every child grows at their own individual level. We take great pride in our all encompassing learning environment starting at the infant level. Our components are seen through the eyes of the Enrichment Blocks as we have developed – library, physical education, Spanish / World Language, art, and music with more to follow. These additional classes, coupled with our curriculum, create a truly comprehensive approach to child’s development Through professional development and financial support, we have established a growing atmosphere for our teachers and staff. We take tremendous pleasure in knowing that we can help provide our teachers in the quest to further their education, and which in turn benefits the children’s academic success in the classroom. The importance of an excellent teacher, even at the earliest of ages is imperative in their developmental progress. “A great teacher, takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart.”

Beloved Miss Dolores of Building Blocks Monroe recently celebrated both her 10 year anniversary with us - as well as her deserved retirement! 🙂 She has welcomed new parents, families and children with a warm heart and open arms, undoubtedly making everyone’s first “daycare experience” a positive one 🥰 Miss Dolores, thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication over the years, your loving care for the children, and for being a part of our Building Blocks family. Your retirement is well-deserved - and you will be missed!

Exposure to language is crucial for infants, as it helps them develop essential communication skills and fosters cognitive growth - but how do their little minds make sense of all these new sounds? The science behind it is (unsurprisingly) fascinating! 👶
How do infants translate sounds to language?

Less than 2 weeks to go! We couldn't be more excited to join so many brilliant, diverse minds and explore the untapped potential of early education and the ever-expanding difference we can all work toward.
🧠 Dans 2 semaines se tiendra le Congrès International des Neurosciences sur l’éducation des jeunes enfants que nous organisons conjointement avec l’UNESCO. 👶 L’essor de l’imagerie cérébrale chez les jeunes enfants a révélé des informations cruciales sur l'organisation et le fonctionnement du cerveau durant les premières années de vie. L’étude de ces avancées donnera lieu à la première table ronde au programme de cette journée. Seront présents : 👉 Dr. Ghislaine Dehaene, Directeur de l’institut du cerveau de l’enfant 👉 Dr. @Elizabeth Spelke, Professeur de psychologie à l’université d’Harvard 👉 Dr. stephanie Mazza, Professeur de neuropsychologie à l’INSPE de l’Université de Lyon 1 👉 Dr. @Marcela Pena, Pédiatre et Professeur des sciences cognitives Ces experts aborderont l’existence des compétences précoces, leur acquisition et l’importance du langage, du sommeil et de l’apprentissage. Ce rendez-vous est l’occasion de découvrir comment les neurosciences transforment l’éducation et façonnent l’avenir d’un enfant. #BrainScienceCongress2024 #Neurosciences #PetiteEnfance #Education

Just a few more weeks until the Babilou Family Brain Science Summit! One of the many benefits of our standing in this strong global network of early education advocates, we are always eager to leverage the ideas, philosophies, and strategies from such brilliant minds around the world.
⏱️🧠 In few days, the International Congress on Neuroscience in Early Childhood Education, organized by the Babilou Family Foundation and UNESCO, will take place. 🎤 Mr. @James Heckman, Nobel Laureate in Economics, will have the honor of delivering the keynote address and will share his expertise about the impact of investing in early childhood education and how it drives positive outcomes for economy and society. 🗓️ The event will feature three distinct roundtables about : • Brain development and learning during the first 1,000 days; • The influence of socioeconomic inequalities on brain development, and how to reduce them; • The role of executive functions in the development of socio-emotional skills and children's learning. This significant event aims to advance our efforts in promoting and protecting early childhood education. #BrainScienceCongress2024 #Neuroscience #EarlyChildhood #Education
