About Our School


Picture
Bayshore Early Education serves students
one to five years of age.


Teaching the Whole Child.  At Bayshore Early Education (BEE) we provide a Christian-based, structured, hands-on, and fun approach to learning designed to prepare young children for kindergarten.

Our Purpose is to Teach children about Jesus and to love them as He loves them.  Our goal is to help the children develop spiritually, mentally, physically and socially by providing age-appropriate activities and guidance. We strive to meet the needs of children and hope to encourage parents through participation and education.

Our Program Bayshore Early Education (BEE) is licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Family Services. We meet very strict guidelines and go beyond what is required to provide the best quality of education and care for our children.  Our child/teacher ratio is low, with two teachers and 12 students in Younger BEEs and 13 students in Older BEEs.  


BEE is an approved VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten) provider for the State of Florida. When you register your children in our VPK program, we provide information needed to receive state funding.​

What's the buzz at
Bayshore Early Education?

In observance of Presidents' Day there is in no school, Monday, February 15.

Younger BEEs (1 and 2 year olds)
Children learn rapidly and are so curious during the early years.  We believe this is a wonderful time to begin teaching children that Jesus loves them and they are special.  They learn about God, colors, shapes, numbers and letters through music, art, puzzles, blocks, dramatic play, as well as, manipulative and outdoor time.  Students learn through play.

Older BEEs (3 Year Olds and VPK)
Being prepared for Kindergarten is increasingly important.  At BEE, we teach the foundations of math, reading, and writing, as well as, the importance of relying on Jesus; a lesson children will carry throughout their lives.  Each week, the children are introduced to a new letter of the alphabet, color, shape, Bible Story and Bible verse.  Students study each week's theme through whole ​group time, games, music, and centers.  Centers include art, computer/iPad, blocks, dramatic play, manipulative, phonetics, and math.  During center time, each child receives individual attention from each teacher; a benefit of our low student/teacher ratio.
