Schools near Port Richey, FL

“My son has attended this day care from 2 years old till 5 years old! He absolutely loved coming & since being in elementary school he always asks to see Ms Liz and Ms Krissy his two favorite people. The kids always have smiles on their faces happy healthy & clean. They have worked so hard with my son who is diagnosed with ADHD & ODD and by far is the easiest kid to take care of. At one point Ms Liz and krissy weren’t at this daycare and I moved my son where they had went because of how well they care for their kids like they are their own. My newborn son will be attending as well. They are great advocates for all the children & have done their very best! I highly recommend you schedule a tour for your child to attend you will not be disappointed”

“My son loves going here! He cried his first day when Dad and I came to pick up because he didn't want to leave! The staff/teachers are awesome at what they do. My son loves learning and his teacher Ms Ashunte, he always talks about what he and his friends learn in class. The school itself is very clean and one of the really cool things about it is that they have a class pet axolotl! Definitely something you don't see everyday, lol”

“This by far has one of the best people working in the center I don’t have much experience with daycare as we come from a family who didn’t believe in setting our children or grandchildren to daycare when my granddaughter Juliana attended the other storybook school house. We were so apprehensive, but she has learned so much and upon transitioning to this school on grand Boulevard, we could be more pleased. They have a lot of patience with her as she is extremely sassy at times and they give her the discipline in a loving correcting way, and they give her praise when she does well Miss Harold happens to be an extremely lovely person so therefore the teacher is that she does hire to work there have the same moral and capability of dealing with children as she does, there’s not enough good things that I can say about this place I wish I can just give it a 10 star, but I am super happy with the way that they love and take care of my granddaughter Juliana”

“Our family absolutely loves Starfish Scholars! Both of our daughters, Alice and Olivia, attend this daycare, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.

The teachers are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth and happiness. We always feel confident knowing our girls are in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.
The staff is always welcoming, communicative, and genuinely cares about the children. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing place for our daughters.

We highly recommend Starfish Scholars to any family looking for a wonderful daycare!”

“My daughter attends the 3K program here and unfortunately we have to unenroll her for 4K so her and her brother can attend the same elementary school. I’m so sad that she’s leaving. Every single staff member and teacher are amazing. They all love and care for each child and it shows. My daughter would come home and tell us all the things she learned…like photosynthesis (she’s 4 and explained it perfectly!), all her colors in Spanish (sung in a song which she sings ALL THE TIME 😂) and so many other educational tidbits. Seriously impressed. Her teachers Miss Laila and Miss Hailey will be truly missed as well as the Director who is always at the front - she’s so kind and pleasant to speak with. Please don’t think twice about enrolling your child here!”

“La Petite has been a home away from home for both of my kids; attending for several years now, and sad to say that we are rapidly approaching Elementary school. The teachers and supporting faculty at this location feel like family, and that's with folks coming and going throughout the years. It's obvious that they care greatly for the kids, truly believing in the quality of care, as those that leave end up enrolling their own kids. Each teacher is considered to be a co-parent in their own right, reinforcing tough conversations with my kiddos, keeping me informed, and taking accountability when something inevitably happens. (They are kids, so it's unavoidable that an incident will occur eventually) I love La Petite, wishing they could go here all the way K-12, as no other school will live up to the gold standard they set in my mind.”

“Being a foster parent, I took my kids here a few years ago and was not very happy, but since then there has been new leadership and the school is fantastic. My daughter who had been having issues with a few daycare’s (No one wanted to deal with her) this school was willing to work with her And her behaviors have gotten so much better.”

“Love the environment there they were very very nice people made me feel comfortable to leave my two kids there.I am very happy that I took my daughter out of top kids on central ave.”

“I couldn’t be more thankful for the daycare I chose for my daughter. They are attentive. They are very caring. They take very good care of my daughter. They are very prompt with any issues regarding my child.. Miss, Audrey Miss Kailyn, & Mrs Megan As well as Mrs,Lyn I couldn’t think enough for the care they give to my child.
Miss Audrey is an amazing teacher she is hands down all around incredibly amazing!
My daughter has learned so much in such a short time with her & her caring & teaching goes beyond what words could describe. We truly got blessed with her as my daughter’s daycare teacher.
Miss Kaylin is absolutely amazing & the sweetest teacher ever! My daughter loves them all very much & we are so thankful we chose Sugar Plum Academy.”

“If I could give more than a 5 star review I would! I can't say enough positive things about St. Ignatius Early Childhood Center and all the staff that work there.
We signed my son up for VPK there from a friend's recommendation but it far surpassed our expectations. He was in the Blue Room with Ms Beth and Ms Louise. They are both so wonderful and set the bar so high that they will forever be who I compare all teachers to. We moved farther away that summer but loved the school so much we signed our daughter up the next year for the 2s class anyways. She's in the 3s room now with Ms Kristen and Ms Jenn who are equally as amazing. My daughter gets upset on the days she doesn't have school and has even cried having to leave and go back home for the day. If that doesn't speak for itself about how wonderful the school is I don't know what will. The staff there radiate that genuine love and passion for the children they work with that can't be faked. I can't recommend this school enough!”

“Learning Ladder is an exceptional Christian preschool! The teachers generally love and care for each child creating safe, nurturing and faith feel environment. The staff is patient, kind and dedicating to helping each child grow. I highly recommend Learning Ladder to any family looking for a preschool that provides excellent education while in stealing strong Christian values.”

“My 3 year old has been going here for almost a year and she LOVES it.Mrs.Samantha is by far the best and she truly cares about all the kids. I am very OVERPROTECTIVE due to childhood trauma and was completely against daycare buy sadly i had to go back to work. The staff did an amazing job with messaging me back in the portal and sending pictures and all around helping me with this change I desperately didn't want. They have cameras in the front office so if you want you can always pop in and take a look - Which I love.
Very grateful for all the staff there.”

“Long Leaf Learning Center is the BEST!! The staff & teachers are absolutely wonderful and it has been so amazing to watch our daughter grow thanks to their help.

Would never thinking of going anywhere else!!”

“I'm sad to see you go, Thank you for helping my babies grow and flourish. You ladies did an amazing job with every kid that came through the door. We will love and miss you forever!”

“My 3 yr old son has been going here for a while now and I have nothing but nice things to say about this place. Spacious rooms and playground. Everything is always very clean. Everyone is so nice and patient with my son and since he has started he has progressed so much. Shout out to his teacher Ms. Brittany you are doing the lords work. I cant thank you guys enough we were so lucky to find this place! Highly recommend!”

“One of the toughest decisions a Mother can make is deciding IF and WHERE they would trust their child being taken care of. I made the choice to put my faith into Solid Step first and foremost , solely because of Mrs. Mary Ann and what a truly phenomenal human she is. My nephew whom is now soon to be 16, began Solid Step at age 1 and graduated VPK.

I now also have a soon to be graduate of VPK who also began at age 1 when I decided to go back to school to pursue a Nursing Career.

The comfort that I feel as a Mother and the peace of mind that it brings to me every single morning when I drop my child off to Solid Step is something money CANNOT buy.

I am not the easiest nor softest Mother to deal with when it comes to my child. However, I will say genuinely, and purely with full confidence, that Mrs. Sarah Johnson has been such a complete blessing to both of my son and I's lives.

Not only does Mrs. Sarah build strong relationships with students by showing genuine interest in their lives, she takes it 5 steps above. My child had the pleasure of being in the 2 year old room for the second half of the year with Mrs. Sarah and is now on his way to graduating VPK with her.

Mrs. Sarah creates an inclusive classroom where every student feels valued and respected. She provides constructive feedback that encourages growth and improvement. Mrs. Sarah also celebrates EVERY student and their achievements, both big and small, to boost morale while modeling positive behavior's and attitudes to inspire ALL students to do the same.

Her teaching style incorporates special privileges, for example; Line leader privileges. She shows class recognition, she uses tangible rewards, and token systems, verbal praise, YOU NAME IT. Her passion for teaching is admirable and I give so much of my respect not only as a Human but as Mother to Mrs. Sarah Johnson for all that she does and for showing up for our children every single day of the week.

WE LOVE MRS. SARAH!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SIMPLY BEING YOU!!!!!”

“We moved to O2B New Port Richey almost two years ago now and couldn’t be any happier with that decision! My kids have grown so much and come home every day happy and with something new they learned to share with me. When initially touring the school, every question I had was answered thoughtfully. If I ever need to contact the school or have a question, it’s answered right away and I appreciate that so much. The school/admins communicate with me throughout the day as needed or when there is something I need to know; there are never any surprises. I love getting pictures emailed to me from the app as well. Highly recommend this school if you are looking. We love each teacher both of our kids have had in our years here.”
