The children learn how to listen, be kind, and have a schedule-oriented school day. Teachers send a daily summary of the day, usually with pictures. The facility is neat and clean, it's affordable and provides a variety of balanced meals. The classes get regular visits from nature guy and a music instructor. The new director is incorporating more field trips, better communication with parents, and holiday celebrations.

I am posting this review because the former review is so inaccurate and vacuous. First the prior…read morereviewer speaks of teachers "cliquing" together which does not sound like a parent's perspective. Here is a parent's perspective -- we left the city to raise our daughter in a strong school district and a safe community. I would pay triple for what we are getting at PCC. The program is play based which means learning is fun! The main components of my child's day are: job assignments e.g. feeding a pet, being line leader, turning of the lights to teach responsibility, then they have free play before breakfast. After breakfast they have a morning reading and discussion as a group. Parents are welcome to join and read to the kids during morning meeting. There are a high ratio of teachers to kids per class. Average class size is 6. There is also a Science, Art, and Music curriculum from outside instructors. The kids also do arts and crafts for holidays and seasons. The kids are prepared for Kindergarten at age 3 and age 4 - they learn to spell, letter sounds, letter recognition, numbers, arthmetic. Most of all the kids are taught how to socialize, resolve conflict, and taught about how we are different but all the same as well. My kid has never had an unhappy day, literally and asks about school on weekends. after nap time, in the afternoon the kids are taken on walks to the town sites e.g. Firehouse or supermarket for a planned cookie baking, or hit the playground as 2, 3, and 4 year olds should. This is a great program and a true value. It is also the only full day program in town. I do not expect the teachers to be anything but normal human beings dedicated to caring for the kids. They also hold parent teacher conferences annually to discuss the child's progress by age. At the end of the year they have a ceremony to celebrate movement to the next year.

Review for Bayshore Headstart…read more I am writing this review to warn parents about the unprofessional and unsafe environment at Bayshore Headstart, specifically in Miss Alexis' classroom (classroom five). My three-year-old son attended this school, and I was deeply concerned by the conditions and the treatment he received. Unprofessional Conduct and Unsafe Environment The school is dirty, unorganized, and unprofessional. I was appalled by the lack of cleanliness and the chaotic environment. The teacher, Miss Alexis, has been very inappropriate and unprofessional. My son has repeatedly told me that she hits him, squeezes his hand, and yells at him. When I confronted her, her response was dismissive and highly inappropriate, questioning why I still brought him to the school. Teacher's Behavior Miss Alexis' behavior is unacceptable. She appears to have severe issues, including being loud, unprofessional, and possibly substance abuse problems. Her appearance and behavior, including smoking excessively and having a strong odor, raise serious concerns about her fitness to be around young children. Lack of Support and Services Throughout the school year, I have been trying to get services for my son, but Miss Alexis consistently denied there were any issues, claiming he was doing well. This lack of acknowledgment meant the school district did not provide the necessary services. Only towards the end of the year did they start acknowledging the problems, which should have been addressed much earlier. Racial Insensitivity It has come to my attention that my son is the only Black child in the classroom, and Miss Alexis has demonstrated a lack of understanding and sensitivity regarding racial issues. Her communication skills are poor, and she does not know how to interact appropriately with the children or their parents. Immediate Actions Taken Due to the ongoing issues and my concerns for my son's safety, I have removed him from Bayshore Headstart before the end of the school year. It is traumatic for any child to endure such treatment, and as a mother, I could not allow this to continue. Despite requesting an emergency CSE meeting, the school district stated that nothing could be done at this point in the year, which is unacceptable. Conclusion My experience with Bayshore Headstart has been extremely negative, and I urge other parents to be vigilant about their children's education and well-being. Ensure that your child feels comfortable and safe in their learning environment, and do not hesitate to take action if you suspect any form of abuse or neglect. The behavior and lack of support from Miss Alexis and the school reflect poorly on their character and the institution's mission.

My granddaughter was in Mrs. Alexis class for 2 years. She learned a lot from Mrs. Alexis. Miss Rachel is incorrect about her son being the only black student because my granddaughter is BLACK. My granddaughter complained her son was hitting her, other children, Alexis and the other staff members. The fun thing about Mrs. Alexis being racist is a joke because Mrs. Alexis is Black.. Mrs. Alexis been teaching at this school for over 30 years. Some of her students now are grandchildren to her former students. She has taught generations at Bayshore Headstart. Mrs. Alexis is a fair and loving teacher. Don't let one BAD APPLE turn you from getting your child or children the best start in their EDUCATION.

My daughter started at 1.5 years old and is now 3.5, and my son began at 1 year old and is currently 2.5. I'm also excited to share that we'll be sending our next son, who is currently just 2 weeks old, when he turns 1. We're already looking forward to the wonderful experience he'll have, just like his older siblings. What truly stands out is how flexible and accommodating the staff has been to our family's needs. They have consistently gone above and beyond to make sure we feel supported, and they've always been responsive and communicative, answering any questions or concerns I have promptly and with care. I always feel heard and valued as a parent, which means so much to me. The staff's commitment to creating a safe, enriching environment for my children is evident in every interaction. It's clear they genuinely care about the children's growth and development. I feel confident every day that my kids are in great hands. My daughter is now fully prepared and ready for preschool next year, and I'm so grateful for the foundation the school has given her. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a place where their child will be loved, supported, and encouraged to grow in a positive, caring atmosphere. Thank you so much to the amazing team for all you do!
