Bright Beginnings Early School

Bright Beginnings Early School provides preschoolers ages 6 months-5 years with a Christian-based education in addition to enrichment programs.

A weekday ministry of Cypress Lake United Methodist Church, Bright Beginnings Early School is committed to the developmental needs of the young child and encourages growth in all areas: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual — in a continuous interrelated process. As a Christian preschool, we want the children to experience what it means to be the child of a loving and dependable God. Si

nce play is the “work” of children and the foundation of a good preschool, we recognize its value for young children. Bright Beginnings Early School is licensed by the State of Florida Department of Children and Families (License #C2OLE7499). The school is inspected regularly by this organization. You may be assured that all of the facilities meet and, in most cases exceed, all licensing requirements. The purpose of the Bright Beginnings Early School is to provide preschoolers ages 2 -5 with a Christian-based educational foundation through play-based learning and exciting curriculum. Each child will receive guidance in all areas of their development: physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. The education of the child also includes outreach and fellowship programs for the families as well. Families are invited to participate through volunteer opportunities in classrooms, attendance in chapel and other presentations such as Holiday and end-of-year programs. Family nights, fundraisers, picnics, bible studies, prayer groups and other fellowship gatherings with the staff and the families are sponsored, organized and encouraged by the school and by CLUMC. Parents are encouraged to attend conferences with the child’s teacher and engage the child at home with activities that support classroom learning. Teachers provide families with weekly and/or monthly communication about classroom goals and curriculum. Bright Beginnings Early School strives to stay ahead of current educational trends and child development needs while maintaining a school atmosphere that teaches children and their families that we are all children of a loving, caring and dependable God. It is our belief that when they “graduate” from our program, these experiences will stay with them.
