Building Blocks Preschool
Extended Day Program and Waitlist — Updates
By Teacher Jessie · October 2026 · Volume MMXXVI, Number 10

Our regular morning core program, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., is currently full and waitlisted. This is a wonderful reflection of the changes we’ve made to serve the needs of our community. At the same time, we know it is challenging for families looking for full- time preschool here on the mountain and are waiting for a space to open.
To create more opportunities, we’ve opened our extended-day program to families on our waitlist and to the wider. We have spaces available, for children ages two to six, between 12:30 and 5:30 p.m. Loma kindergarteners are welcome after 1:30 p.m, adding another option for care on the mountain alongside Kids & Co.
Our extended-day program is a great option for families who need additional afternoon care, whether it’s a full afternoon or just a few extra hours. Afternoons at Building Blocks include a quiet rest period (story time, art, stretching, and more) or a nap, depending on the age and stage of the child. This is followed by developmentally appropriate, child-led play.
Drop-ins are available based on staffing and spaces available that day. Building Blocks for Your Younger Child. For families with infants who are interested in Building Blocks in the future, we encourage you to schedule a tour and join our waitlist.
Getting on the waitlist early allows your family to be in the queue as your child approaches age 2, or whenever you’re ready for them to join us. Joining our waitlist does not commit you to enrolling. We’re grateful for the continued interest and support from our mountain community, and we’re excited to find new ways to welcome more families into Building Blocks.
