“Playtime Learning Academy is great! Miss Carmen and Miss Rita are awesome and my son loves it there. I like that Miss Carmen gives me updates on how he is doing and tells me what they did that day to learn and have fun. She is very sweet and patient with the kids. My son comes home talking about all the exercises he learns from Miss Rita and how much fun it is. Miss Rita was also our older son teacher years ago and we were so happy to see her again with our youngest. He has learned so much and is excited to go to school. He is happy with the school and the teacher.”

“Unfortunately, this is the third daycare we have had to bring our son to in two years due to a poor experience at the first two. The Learning Experience new Tampa is hands-down, the best place we can imagine our son to be from the staff, to the owners, the teachers, it is bar none the best daycare in the area. Everyone here knows our name and our sons name and makes us all feel so welcomed every day. Thank you for all you do TLE new tampa!”

“We have had such a wonderful experience at Primrose Tampa Palms. Our children transferred over from another school & we’re so glad me made the switch, despite the increased cost!First of all the overall communication is consistent. They utilize the Procare app, email & if needed text or phone call effectively & appropriately. The team at the front desk, Ms. Woods & Ms. Anderson, always greet you with a warm smile & are real when responding to your questions. With the support of Ms. Bunch & Ms. A they consistently follow through with requests & support needed. The owners & administration help support the teachers appropriately to ensure they abide by ratios, plan fun celebrations, seem to pay reasonable wages & overall good a keeping morale up to provide a nurturing environment.Mr. Archer is on another level of helpful, happy & genuinely knows each child & helps them feel recognized & valuable.Ms. Gonzalez, the school chef, is always smiling & greets both of our children personally & with silly jokes routinely. She makes the extra effort to spend even just a few minutes with them while also being efficient in all of her other responsibilities! They also love her light up shoes!Our children are happier & thriving. The knowledge they are excited to share with us daily is impressive & their developmental skills are evolving at or above pace! This coming from an occupational therapist. I am beyond pleased with the care my children are given on a routine basis. They always come home clean & neat, like they arrived, even if their clothes had to be changed. I truly feel like they are cared for & don’t have that mom guilt when dropping them off before headed to work.Each of my children have been in 2 different classrooms, so I’d like to thank all of their teachers!Ms. Palomares & Ms. Torres were not only happy & supportive when they had our daughter but they continue to greet her with enthusiasm every chance they get! The love they have for their job shines through their smiles.Ms. Lugo has made our daughter’s transition to the new class as easy as she can by providing good energy, distractions with preferred tasks/items & great interactions. Ms. Perez & Ms. Buck are so sweet & kind with the littles too.Ms. Pittman came in to replace some of our favorite teachers & we were nervous for the change but she was fantastic! Our son still loves to stop by & give her hugs! She was a huge help in promoting his potty training too!We also really enjoyed Ms. L & Ms. Swati’s support & playfulness with the littles.Ms. P & Ms. K are helping our son learn so much. They are teaching him how to be more independent & confident in his abilities.I continue to praise this school & highly recommend them to friends & family for childcare needs.”

“Before I even stepped foot into the business, I was greeted with complete transparency on their website from tuition cost to the history of this establishment. Upon touring with the owner, she was incredibly kind and open to all my question along with giving me information that I hadn't even thought of when looking for daycare. We would have loved to have sent our child to be in their care, but for our own logistics we had to pass on the opportunity. Out of the 6 daycares that we toured this one has a special spot in my heart and I hope other parents can feel the same.”

“Recently enhanced security, enriching activities and updated tech in all the classrooms. VPK and after-school care are offered with an experienced and caring staff. Great choice for a preschool in the Forest Hills area in Tampa.”

“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.”

“Kiddie Academy is a wonderful place! We have tried multiple daycares in Westchase but now are so happy to have found Kiddie Academy. The teachers especially Ms. Maria and Ms. Liz are always enthusiastic and show a great interest for teaching the children. They also send great pictures during the day which makes it helpful for parents to feel connected. My son learns so much and is excited to go to school everyday. Thank you Kiddie Academy!”

“I was so skeptical on taking my daughter to any school or daycare at first, but once I reviewed O2B kids and went in to do a walk through, i was greeted with smiles, kindness and caring faces. There are cameras in every angle and secure gates around the facility. The process was simple and easy. They update you throughout the day with pictures and activities on what your child is doing. I can see the development in my daughter as she is only 17 months and communicating with me more. I want to thank everyone at O2B kids in westshore for welcoming me and my daughter.”

“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!”

“BH at Hunter's Green has the biggest heart and caring mindset for its students. Our child is excited about going to school every day. The teachers are wonderful at engaging the kids and providing seasonal-appropriate instruction and care (i.e. water days in the summer, gratitude in Thanksgiving). The admin (Ms. Amy and Ms. Ricka) are committed to providing a fun and safe environment. They also take special care to make their staff feel important (they regularly host teacher-appreciation days and invite parents to join in). Because of this, there is very limited turnover (a rarity) and a lot of consistency. Our family is grateful for the whole BH HG team!”

“My opportunity to thank you for excellent care for my daughters. I don't have any complaints. I couldn't continue, due to moving. Many thanks for everything.”

“I can't say enough good things about Primrose South Tampa. It was very important to me find a great school for my children especially since they were so young and going to daycare. Primrose exceeded all expectation! The staff is absolutely amazing and treats both my kids like their own! They feel so loved every single day!! On top of the love they receive, the education has been first class. Primrose's curriculum as well as the structured routine has helped my oldest transition into Elementary School very easily. I also appreciate the daily updates to include pictures! I always look forward to receiving pictures of my kids and review what they ate, how much they slept, how many diaper changes, etc. Primrose South Tampa has built a community that I feel so blessed and thankful to be apart of. I would HIGHLY recommend everyone!”

“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！”

“My 2 boys have been going here for a few months now and they are SO happy here. It’s the first daycare I put my kids in and I am so lucky to have picked such an amazing place. The staff treats them like family and is always so mindful of how they are feeling at all times. It melts my heart how excited they get to go to daycare. They don’t just do the basic requirements here, they go above and beyond and are all so so nice. Thank you for everything you all do. It means more than you could possibly know♥️”

“We selected this location through my company’s back up care benefit while his primary daycare was closed. He spent 7 days at this school and I am so thankful to the teachers and staff.It was helpful that they provided food, drinks, wipes and diapers…all we had to bring was his blanket. They were also able to setup with their school app within 24 hrs so that I could see the livestream of the classroom and daily photos.I felt like his teachers quickly made him feel comfortable in a new place (he’s 2 years old) and he had fun with the various activities that they did. We would definitely use this place in the future for backup care”

“This preschool has exceeded our expectations. Child life provides exceptional quality care toward the children, as well as parent interaction. The director of the preschool, Ms. Dee is incredible! She cares about the kids, she is patient, kind, very professional and makes a strong effort to make the preschool experience fun for the kids with all of the activities and events. We are so grateful for her and his teacher Ms. Maria as well as her assistant. All of the other staff are very friendly when interacted with. The teachers follow a curriculum with the children and spend a lot of one on one time teaching them new developmental skills. My son loves it there and it is because of the wonderful team.”

“Both of my boys attended St James Prek, so we've been at the school for 5 years total. I couldn't have asked for a better school start for them. Every teacher has been incredibly loving and focused on meeting each child's needs. The curriculum is a great blend that allows for developmentally appropriate play and also does a great job of preparing the kids academically for Kindergarten. I encourage you to go take a tour and check it out!”

“I have 3 kids. In total they have been going here I think since 2017, from the infant room to the 2nd grade cutoff. As a mom I was so scared to leave my children with anyone. I had mostly sitters, and one other daycare prior. I honestly LOVE this daycare. So much so when we moved from TNC out close to Busch Gardens, I choose to drive my kids back to TNC for this school every single day. The staff is amazing. The kids are happy. Any bumps or bruises are reported to me (they are kids). My kids have all learned so much. They speak a bit of Spanish even at this point. My middle child even cries for one of the teachers there (Her Mayble). If your looking for a daycare I highly recommend. 10/10”

“We love how interactive this school is! My son has been attending the school since April 2022 when he just turned three. I feel like he learns so much and it’s truly is like a school and not just a daycare. He looks forward to going to school, and I even look forward to him going to school and telling me about all the fun things he gets to do and learn. We love all of the teachers at the school, and they truly feel like family. I also can tell how passionate about teaching and learning my son’s VPK teacher, Mr. Ed is.”

“I can't say enough great things about this place, they truly care, the teachers are amazing and I know my kid is safe and taken care of. I am so glad we found this place.”

“We love our church. It's a bit of a drive for us but completely worth it. We've tried churches closer to home but doesn't have the same feel. We are always welcomed here by staff and priests. They even knew us by name after a few visits. Our kids enjoy the faith formation classes and being apart of everything church related. It's absolutely beautiful here and we enjoy the beautiful grounds. Just when we thought we've seen everything we find out there's more to see. We've had many sacraments here from our confirmation, wedding, and our children's baptisms and first communion. Always such beautiful ceremony's and more to come.”

“Seaborn Day Schools is an exceptional place for early childhood education. The teachers are caring and dedicated to fostering a love of learning in young children. The curriculum is engaging, and the facilities are safe and well-maintained. I have seen my child thrive academically and socially since attending Seaborn Day Schools. Highly recommended!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Very good school, you can leave your children safe, teachers are very dedicated to caring for children, very good attention to parents, the truth is that it has all the requirements from cleaning to care, feeding and more. I recommend it ?”

“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.”

“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.”

“We have had a great experience at the JCC preschool. The programming is engaging and I have seen incredible advancements in my son’s development. I highly recommend!”
