We are so grateful and thankful for all of the wonderful teachers and staff at Bright Beginnings…read more This has been the best two years my son has had. This school is the most amazing, creative school with seriously the most caring, down to earth, dedicated, passionate, talented and kind teachers/staff that make it the best school/community there is for Early Learning and VPK in Ft. Myers...hands down! It's not "just a school", it's a unique community and you'll feel like you're part of a family. Everyone there-staff, teachers, and the parents are so kind and sweet, and everyone goes out of their way to make the school just keep getting better and updated by hosting fun events with the kids to raise money, or to have a charity event. Everyone helps each other out however they can. I feel so blessed My son got to go there and I am lucky enough to have seen him start at 3 years old and grow into the kind sweet boy he is today with the help of so many amazing woman there-it takes a village to raise a child. I never once worried about him, and that in and of itself says it all. Also to have been able to go to some of the most creative, beautiful and fun events I've ever been to! Kuddos to everyone at Bright Beginnings Early School and especially to the director of the school Samantha and also Mary for doing all the dirty work behind the scenes and making it look so easy... and for always having a smile on their face every morning and greeting the kids by name as they walk in to make them feel special You can see the love you have for the students and passion for the school. And let's not forget to mention, all of the wonderful teachers who show up every single day and not only teach our kids but go above and beyond! They've shown/taught our children compassion, kindness, what it means to be a good friend, how to behave/treat their classmates and adults , and most importantly about God and Jesus, and what it is to be a good human being in this crazy world...because that is one of the most important things to learn. I highly recommend sending your child or children to this school, as I promise you, you will be more than just satisfied and your child will absolutely love it there..they will learn so much, and in a creative way. There is always something fun going on whether it's the everyday stuff such as the playground, splash pad, play time while also learning things without even realizing it! And then there's always something such as special crafts, events for the parents to get to know each other, Dad's night out, Mom's night out, celebrations during holidays, concerts, charity events, etc. I could go on forever! You will also be amazed at how much they will learn, learn, because their level and expectations of teaching is very high and they do it in a fun way for the kids! But bottom line, if you're looking for an early school for your child this IS THE ONE!

Had to pull my child out for many reasons the first being lack of safety . The security system is…read moreterrible and ID's never checked . My hubby came to pick up our child for the first time & was never questioned about who he was. It saddens me because this school had wonderful reviews. They really need to fix this issue . Also we received many empty promises like the children going to sing at the senior center as well as going to the library. That didn't happen. The playground is a huge disappointment. Instead of grass turf there is a brown mulch so the children are constantly dirty . Also I witnessed a teacher pulling on my child's arm in a painful way. We reported these issues to the school director and pulled out child out of this school.

I pulled my daughter out of another preschool to go to FUMC. I had friend's who sent their kids to…read moreFUMC and had heard nothing but wonderful things. The children get home cooked meals everyday and the class sizes are kept small enough that every child is taken care of. The staff here truly care about the children. My daughter was sick one day and when I went to pick her up, one of the staff members was just holding her. The truly love the children there. I also picked FUMC because I'm a single mother who works full time. FUMC is full of all types of families from all different backgrounds. I feel diversity is incredibly important. I'm blown away by how much my daughter is learning as well. The director is absolutely amazing and I have never had a second thought about sending my daughter here.

The whole staff is amazing with so much heart, love, and a caring mindset. It's wonderful seeing my daughter and the rest of the children get excited about going to daycare/school here. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualized way.

I am writing this review as a former student of ECS. I attended ECS in Fort Myers, FL from middle…read moreto high school and throughout that time I witnessed and was subjected to incredibly unprofessional and even harmful treatment by my teachers. No adult, especially those that work in education, should publicly harass and berate their students over elements of their lives they have no control over. This school claims to be a model of moral, Christian education, but if they truly believed in the works of Jesus they would not be as hypocritical, unwelcoming, and careless with the children they are supposed to be nurturing.

As a former student that used to go to ECS, I just wanted to let people know that the school is…read morehonestly not Christian. They claim to want to be like Jesus and want to set the best example but don't and anytime someone comes into the school that isn't perfect they kick them out automatically. I had a friend who was going through his mom's death, and they kicked him out when he started acting up. Which honestly made no sense to me because he has amazing grades and has been there for so long. Obviously a student who just lost a loved one, especially their own mom would go through a hard time or act up as a call for help and they didn't even wanna help him or do anything. They kicked them out because of it. They're also a quite bit racist, my friend who goes there had a friend who got in a fight with a kid and just got suspended and then another friend who threatened to fight a guy and he got kicked out and what a coincidence that the one that was black got kicked out, but the one that was white stayed and was just suspended, even though he actually broke the little kids jaw. Just wanted to let you know Incase you are thinking of letting your student come!

I personally Love that they explore a different topic each month and spend the whole month learning about that topic to the fullest . Topics have included space , people of our community , cold/ snow/ ice , trees , and grocery stores just to name a few . They cover all aspects of kindergarten readiness with each child and really put you at ease about your child moving on to grade school . My son has gotten to go on field trips as well and performed in a musical about space with his class . We can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings for him at Creative World Estero !!
