Schools in Tampa, FL

“We have enjoyed this past year immensely. The teachers treat our kids (ages 5, 4 & 3) with a tremendous amount of love and attention. The staff and administrators are quick to answer questions and address issues with grace and tact. The teachers seem to enjoy their jobs, as we are always greeted with smiles. Did I mention they provide lunch, snacks and after school pickup? What more can busy parents ask for in a great facility? Playtime Learning Academy is a wonderful choice.”

“Ms. Diana is an amazing teacher! We had the pleasure of having both our girls in VPK with her. The amount of growth my girls have had because of her has been amazing! The Learning Experience has great administration from ownership to the front desk. I highly recommend having your little one here. It’s safe, super clean with an attentive and loving staff. We will miss them but we’re so blessed we had our girls here!”

“Our son absolutely loves his young infant classroom teachers! Big shout out to Ms. Q, Ms. Hernandez, and Ms. Beasley for making Primrose a home away from home! We are truly grateful and couldn't recommend you more.”

“Kiddie Academy has been a wonderful daycare from the moment we walked into the building. The attentiveness of the teaches as well as the great daily communication is always greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Ms. Liz and Ms. Maria for always making my son feel loved and welcomed.”

“Our family has been with Primrose since 2020, starting in the young toddler class with our then 1 year old. He has learned so much and blossomed into a caring, smart and empathetic 4.5 year old. Our youngest has now joined him and all of the teachers they’ve had have been fantastic. They truly care about the children and love them as their own. They know how to make learning fun! The communication and care from the front office staff are also fantastic. We can’t say enough good things about our experience.”

“Transferred my daughter here from Pierce Middle due to the poor environment at that school. I'm glad I did. My daughter's mental health is much better now at Ferrell and she is receiving a better education.”

“I went for a tour today so I can enroll my five year old into VPK and summer camp. Unfortunately, he is a bit too young for summer camp and their availability for VPK was full. We are currently transitioning into public school, so everything is new to us. The staff were very helpful and incredibly considerate with providing the proper information to me. My son has been in advanced homeschooling programs up until now, so it is a new adventure for both of us. While I am saddened that we were not a good fit for O2B Kids South Westshore, we still received excellent attention and assistance regarding our new adventure into public school enrollment. Thank you again for taking the time to meet with us today.”

“Great experience so far! My 3.5 yr old and 14 month old have both been attending for several months.Ms Eboni and Ms Aiyana are so great with communication and sending lots of pics throughout the day. My 14 month old lights up when he sees them.Ms Kira and Ms Ashley are wonderful and PATIENT with my 3 yr old who has a lot of new, big feelings. They have been great in helping her and us navigate these new feelings.Special mentions - Ms Caroline, Ms Jadah, Ms Rayvn, Ms Stephanie, Ms Chantel and Mr Devon are all so amazing as well. I’m probably missing some names, but so far everyone has just been so great.”

“Best school of westchase area. My daughter goes for vpk. All teachers are very good & friendly. Specially, miss Henney & miss shree is very good teacher. She has very good experience to teach for vpk students.”

“By far the best facility when it comes to childcare! The staff here is supportive and caring, allowing the children and parents to feel right at home. This was particularly important because we were nervous about sending our son to preschool. The staff took us with open arms and helped ease our fears. I have always felt that my son is happy, healthy, safe, and LOVED. The level of care and concern for children's and their families' well-being is awesome. This preschool has the best, most caring, and loving teachers. Ms. Doris and Ms. Clara (one-year-old class) are phenomenal. I can't say enough how much my family and I are thankful for them and all they do! Their curriculum is awesome and my son learns so much! He looks forward to attending preschool each day. The administration is also top-tier! Ms. D (Director) and Ms. Scarlett are great and attentive. I couldn't imagine my son anywhere else. I wish that I could give more than 5 stars! Thank you Childlife Preschool for everything!”

“We moved our son into BHHG just after a year old. We are extremely happy with the program and facility since then. Our son loves his teachers and his routine here. The facility also communicates well with parents which is crucial when separated from our young ones. Highly recommend this day care center!”

“I kept my daughter at home for the first two years of her life with a nanny. We toured many daycares. However, the moment we walked into the doors of Storybook, it was an easy decision. It gave us warm and fuzzy feeling. My daughter has been showered with love and affections from the teachers. There isn’t turn over of teachers. She’s learned so much and is talking more. She positively talks about her teachers and friends at home. They’ve helped us with potty training. Meals are provided. I can’t say enough good things about this school. I highly recommend Storybook.”

“My daughter loves it here. Our family is very grateful to Mr. Amestyst. She is always very patient and caring towards her children! She always do the awosome job！！！Mr. Cristy is very nice and friendly！”

“Honestly I really like this school and the teachers and my daughter does good here I haven’t really had any issues with her being sick or anything which is really good I’m happy I switched to this school I wish I had started here all along and they have cameras so you can see your kids you don’t have to bring diapers or wipes unless you want to or even milk unless your child is on a special one they don’t have everyone is nice. The director Disney is so sweet. Most of the teachers do speak Spanish tho for people who don’t but your kid learn some so I think it’s a win.”

“My daughter joined in March and she LOVES school and her friends so much. She's 3 and running in to the building with so much excitement. It has done wonders for socialization and creating a schedule in her life. She is learning Spanish (she asked me for water the other day in Spanish and it totally took me off guard! I was so amazed) and last night she was counting the stars in the sky. I'm so pleased with how much she is learning. It makes me so happy. I love the app the school uses for daily communication, notes, and pictures! Thank you Educated Minds for taking such good care of my daughter.”

“CLA has been my kids home for over 5 years now. Looking for daycares years ago for my oldest son was stressful until I found this place. Both of my boys have had the pleasure of being in Ms Luz’s class. She is best teacher there could be for 1yr olds! Very kind and loving to the kids. Ms Dymie has been a very patient teacher to my youngest son! He is learning how to potty train so fast! Ms Anna was the best with my oldest son! He learned so much in such a short time especially coming out of covid. Ms Marie is always kind and wonderful to my oldest. In summer camp, he enjoyed being in her class. All of these teachers have made such an impact both of my son’s lives. I love being a part of the CLA family! Thank you Ms Yudy for having such a great environment to come to everyday!”

“The 2023-2024 school year was an incredible year, my daughter just finished her VPK and it has been the best experience for her. She had excellent teachers, Ms. Mary and Ms. Jenny, they will be in my daughter's heart and in us forever. Thank you for your dedication, love and professionalism with which you do your job. I just have to thank you and tell you that we are going to miss you. Thank you.”

“Friendly staff, nice little gym, and good wifi. My son attends the daycare and it actually costs less to get a membership to the JCC for the daycare member rate than the membership so it was a no brainer to get one even if I never used it. Well, turns out since I work from home, using this as an office away from home has become incredibly useful. First of all parking is a breeze. They have a giant parking lot so I'm never worried about finding a space. There are a good amount of trees so some spots are shaded. You need a badge to get in the first door to the reception area and then to get to the rest of the building. The front desk is always super nice. They have fruit infused water for anyone who is thirsty. Once you walk through the second set of doors more often than not you'll find me. There are three tables with a couple chairs around each and they are almost never in use. I have never seen all three tables being used. There is also a TV that is playing the news. Most people belong here for the gym. The classes seem to be geared towards an older clientele. They have childcare, which is an older woman who seems like she is a grandma herself. I've never seen her watching more than two children at a time. The gym has tvs, ellipticals, treadmills, a weight area, etc. It isn't that big, but it has all the necessities for a good work out. There is a sauna and locker rooms. Even though everything is definitely on the older side, it is all clean. The other thing I love about these facilities are there are two tables with huge umbrellas outside. They also stream music outside, usually classic hits. The wifi is more spotty there, but it is a nice alternative if the weather is pleasant. I'll continue to belong as long as my son attends the pre school here.”

“Excellent day care...I highly recommend it to parents who are looking for a welcoming, educational and responsible center for the care of children. Thank you for the work you do so wonderful every day with the children.”

“I could honestly write a novel, but I'll keep it short. I couldn't be happier with my experience with this Kindercare. Lily, the director, and all the teachers are amazing. They're attentive to the babies/kids, have great communication, and really make me feel at ease knowing my baby is being taken care of. He gets excited when we walk through the door and that says a lot. Highly recommend!”

“We have two children enrolled here. We've been apart of the infant, preschool, and prek classrooms. The caring, comforting demeanor of the staff—both classroom and administrative—is what sets Primrose School of Carrollwood apart. I truly appreciate how the classroom staff communicates and keeps us informed (both in person and through the app) of the overall well-being of our children and the learning that takes place throughout the day. The other aspect that I find great value in is the curriculum’s focus upon social emotional learning. I could go on and on! We feel so fortunate to be apart of the Primrose family!”

“Loving and engaging preschool. My daughter thrived here and was well prepared for her kindergarten experience. The staff felt like part of the family. Director and Owner Ms. Chris is amazing.”

“Our son attended Smart start for three years before starting kindergarten, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. I toured three other local schools prior to choosing this school. From the moment we walked in, it felt like a second home. The teachers are incredibly caring and dedicated, treating each child with love and respect. They truly go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, happy, and eager to learn.The sense of community at smart start is like no other. The staff works together seamlessly, creating a family-like atmosphere. We always felt confident that he was in good hands, surrounded by people who genuinely cared about his well-being and development.We highly recommend Smart start to any parents looking for a loving, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.”

“This is for all Parents but especially my first timer like myself searching for a safe place for children to learn and grow, Ive made the best choice in choosing to add my son to this school even when i was crunching on time and spots where closing. I was blessed to meet Ms. Mimi, shes so sweet and caring about all the children in the center. She actually takes the time to observe, build relationships with the parents and the children, keeps you updated with everything and she has a heart of Gold. The teachers are absolutely amazing and they take really good care of the children and take the time out to meet every need. The food severed to the children is Tasty and nutritious and the center is very unkept and clean. I am so grateful for the experience with the Wonder kidz academy here on Hanley rd. Unfortunately i had to move from FL and im very sad words cannot express how bad i feel that i had to take my son out but i was truly bless in making the choice to join the family, and i recommend this place to any Parent searching for a 2nd home for their children. Thank you Miss MI MI, from mlique and Breanna!!!”

“We have been with KinderCare for our infant and 2-year-old for 9 months and are super happy with the quality of the programs. All of the teachers in the school know us and our kids, seem to really are about them, and the kids come home super happy every day. I love that we get pictures and videos during the day so we can talk to our toddler about what he learned in school and re-iterate the curriculum for maximum learning. My children both have made friends in the school, and I always look forward to picking up their happy faces and saying hi to all of the teachers each day.”

“My daughter has been attending Mother Goose since she was an infant and she is now almost 3 years old and absolutely loves it. I truly trust all of the teachers and owner here and I know that she is in great hands! All of the staff are caring and truly care about the kiddos there! Thank you, Mother Goose!”

“The education our boys are receiving at Goddard of South Tampa exemplifies the Goddard name and program. From making our shy little guy so confident that he is becoming the life of the party to working with our 1 year old on his development daily we couldn’t be happier.

The teachers are amazing and the administrators make everyone who walks through the door feel welcome (adding to the level of security we feel as parents knowing that everyone is recognized). The education our two boys are receiving is incredible. Having conversations about the life cycle of a caterpillar at dinner with our three year old is mind blowing! We are so happy to be part of the Goddard of South Tampa family.”

“I was nervous about putting my son in daycare because he was born at the beginning of the covid pandemic, during which he has been pretty isolated from others and very attached to me. However, touring the place put my mind at ease, since all the children seemed to love their teachers and staff. Now, a few months later, I am still so glad we found this place! My son claps for joy when we enter the parking lot, and he walks right in and goes to his teacher. He loves being at daycare, and I have peace of mind knowing he is well cared for.”

“School is exceptional. The staff are very friendly and well trained. The class rooms are clean and have new materials and equipment. The play grounds are in excellent condition. They keep you updated on the app multiple times a day. The school is not cheap but you see where the money goes and it is worth it.”
