Bayshore Baptist Preschool at 3111 West Morrison Avenue, Tampa, Florida.

This is such a special place! Both of my children attended Bayshore Baptist Preschool in South Tampa. We are not Baptist but we were drawn to the sweet, supportive setting for our kids' first school experience. The experienced preschool director, Ms. Parker is amazing!
She is extremely flexible, helpful and guided us through many parental decisions (i.e. How many days should our 3 year old attend school?).
The experienced teachers know how to teach kids so they think they're just having fun!
Yes, they learn the alphabet, how to safely use scissors and recognize sight words but I really appreciated the emphasis on socialization... learning to share, making friends, playing with "gentle hands."
I also loved that I could drop off/pick up my kids on the playground! They were always excited to go to school.
The experience for our family was wonderful plus the photos/videos from the Christmas, Easter, Halloween and other parties will be great to share when they are older!
