Our Story

Founded in 2003 by Marcelle Tapia and Jessie Inoa, Bee Creative Preschool was born from a shared vision to revolutionize early childhood education. Having worked together in different school settings, they recognized the need for a more modern, effective, and creative approach to learning—one that nurtures every aspect of a child's development.

At Bee Creative, we believe that learning should be engaging, hands-on, and tailored to each child's natural curiosity. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to support children from 10 months to 6 years old, fostering growth in cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Through innovative teaching methods, interactive activities, and a warm, nurturing environment, we help young learners build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.

With a foundation rooted in exploration, collaboration, and discovery, Bee Creative Preschool continues to be a vibrant space where little minds flourish, ensuring that every child receives the tools and support they need to thrive.

About Us

Our Approach to Education

Each day Bee Creative uses the educational power of play to grow your child socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually—all while having fun.

Our passionate and engaging teachers grow, learn, and imagine with your child, whether building a spaceship to blast off to Mars or inviting a new friend to share a story during group time. We believe "curriculum" is everything that happens in the classroom, from interactions and meals to singing and playing. We never miss an opportunity to blend play with our early education curriculum.

We provide a balance between choice and structured activities, between group and individual pursuits, and between teacher and child-directed experiences. Our activities are aligned with 140 learning standards across six developmental domains:

Students engaged in creative activities
Children learning through play

Our Philosophy

Love and Logic

Helps children develop responsibility and problem-solving skills through gentle guidance and natural consequences. We offer choices and use empathy to help children understand how their actions affect themselves and others.

Conscious Discipline

Focuses on emotional intelligence and self-regulation by helping children recognize and manage their feelings. Our teachers guide them through frustration or conflict with calm reassurance, teaching them how to express themselves and work through challenges in a positive way.

Safety First (and Always!)

Your child's safety is our top priority. We take a proactive approach, paying attention to every detail—big and small—to create a secure, nurturing environment. From carefully supervised play to strict health and security protocols, we ensure a space where children can explore, learn, and grow with confidence.

Helping Them Develop Who They Are

Education is about more than knowledge. It's about helping children develop the social and emotional skills they'll use for the rest of their lives. Every classroom is a mini-community where we help every child succeed on their own terms.

A Strong Partnership with Families

At Bee Creative Preschool, we believe that education is a collaborative journey between teachers and families. We strive to build strong, open, and communicative relationships with parents to ensure the best possible experience for every child. Our teachers keep families informed daily, providing insights, updates, and support as they guide children through their early learning years. Because when we work together, we create a joyful, nurturing, and inspiring environment where children can truly shine.

Small Class Sizes, Big Impact

Our low teacher-to-student ratios ensure that each child receives individualized attention, allowing our educators to adapt to different learning styles and provide a tailored approach that meets their needs. This personalized environment helps build confidence and encourages active participation, while creating meaningful connections between teachers and students that foster trust and emotional security.
