In 1992, siblings Anna, Clarine, and Anthony Insinna opened Building Blocks Daycare in East Amherst, New York, welcoming 24 preschool students and their families. In 1998, after six years and opening a few centers, they changed the company’s name to Doodle Bugs!. Doodle Bugs! expanded into the Rochester, NY area in 2007, into Pennsylvania in 2013, and opened its first Florida center in 2014.
The mission of Doodle Bugs! Children’s Learning Academy is to build a community of happy children, happy parents, and happy teachers, and the organization states that it holds itself to high standards of safety, cleanliness, organization, professionalism, and education. The Doodle Bugs! Learning approach has been used to prepare children for school for over 30 years, and its educational programs focus on nurturing curiosity, initiative, social skills, communication, independent thinking, and creativity. The BRAVO! curriculum provides teachers with a framework to customize the learning environment and experiences to the specific needs of children in each classroom. The program states that its facilities are designed for learning, that its curriculum uses a blended approach, and that health and safety are priorities for parents. Doodle Bugs! describes its classrooms as play-based with an emphasis on safety, wellness, and security, and states that every child has a right to learn in a safe, clean, child-friendly environment. The program also states that care and education are equally important and interdependent in early childhood, and that play is understood to be the work of early childhood.
Doodle Bugs! is accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA), which is recognized around the world as an indication of trustworthiness, educational quality, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Doodle Bugs! has been selected as the official child care provider for the Buffalo Sabres, the Buffalo Bills, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Parent feedback includes comments that teachers are kind, upbeat, patient, welcoming, and caring, and that communication between the center and families is “on point.” Parents describe the program as a “second home” where children are loved, safe, learning, and having fun, and note that their children are happy to see their teachers. Families mention access to special programs like Music Rocks and Taekwondo and mindful techniques like yoga, as well as a menu that exposes children to different foods. Parents also highlight the large indoor play room and outdoor playground, verbal updates at pickup, and describe the school as clean, friendly, and a place where their children feel welcome.
