Schools in Tampa, FL

“We love all of the teachers at Primrose Tampa Palms but especially Ms. Lara! Our son smiles every time he sees her and you can tell she really cares for every child!”

“We have had an amazing experience with this daycare during our son’s first month. From day one, every staff member has been incredibly positive, caring, and welcoming. Every time we walk through the doors, we are greeted with smiles and made to feel like part of a family.

The teachers and staff create such a warm and nurturing environment, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the children. The biggest sign of how wonderful this place is has been our son’s reaction—he shows excitement every single day on the way to daycare and is always happy to be there.

As parents, there is no better feeling than knowing your child is safe, cared for, and excited about where they spend their day. We are so grateful for the entire team and highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a positive and welcoming environment for their child.”

“We had such a wonderful experience touring The Goddard School! From the moment we walked in, the environment felt warm, welcoming, and engaging for young children.

What really stood out to me was seeing preschoolers actively working on sight words in a way that was fun and developmentally appropriate. As a former educator, I truly value strong early learning foundations, and it was clear that learning here is both intentional and engaging.

The biggest highlight for me was my daughter’s reaction. She immediately jumped into the classroom and joined the group without hesitation. When we asked her to come with us to continue the tour, she told us “no” because she was “in class.” That moment spoke volumes. She is typically more reserved in new environments, so seeing her feel comfortable, confident, and excited so quickly was a huge and meaningful surprise.

It’s clear that this is a place where children feel safe, supported, and genuinely excited to learn. We are very impressed and grateful for the experience!”

“Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! And a big shoutout to all four of Kyilan’s preschool teachers for being so patient with my child and being there for him everyday and helping him learn and engage in activities daily I appreciate you ladies for everything. Thank you for being caring and dedicated! I’m so grateful for each one of you my son loves this school so much”

“We appreciate O2B for introducing my wife and I do Deja and Annelise whom both are amazing with my son but decided to leave O2B and my son followed them and is now in their care separately away from O2B!”

“We love this daycare! This location has very attentive and caring staff. The school is always very clean. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing daycare!”

“I am so grateful for this wonderful school and all the love, care, and support they have given my son. He started here last year at 2 years old, and watching him grow, learn, and build confidence has been truly amazing. This year, his transition into K3 was a memorable and positive experience thanks to the caring teachers and staff who made him feel safe, happy, and excited to learn every day. Thank you for creating such a nurturing environment and for being an important part of his early childhood journey. We will always cherish these memories!”

“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.”

“My son just graduated VPK at Kiddie Academy Westchase. This school has exceeded our expectations. The teachers and administration really care about the children and families. It's hard to trust people with your children, but I always felt comfortable leaving my son here. The curriculum and teaching is also wonderful, and my son has learned so much from his teachers. We will happily be sending our other children here when the time comes!”

“SBR has the most compassionate and fantastic teachers and staff. After driving by this location for almost 15 years, we finally found our way home to SBR by several referrals from Westchase families. We were pleasantly shocked to learn that they had been in business for over 40 years, but as we conclude our time here this summer as our youngest heads off to kindergarten, it's no surprise how they've been so successful for this long.

Our top 5 favorite things about SBR
1. The teachers and staff. It's rare to find consistency in staff at daycares, and we have been so fortunate to have found that here.
2. The facilities. Our daughter LOVES the outside area here - the kids get to explore a greenhouse (where they also see/learn first hand how to grow healthy foods), another play 'barn', and otherwise get to explore nature in a safe environment.
3. The education/curriculum. A very play based environment, where our child thrives. We just got our childs year-end VPK score back, and she is testing at the 1st grade, 6 month level. Outstanding commitment to preparation for kindergarten.
4. The reasonable tuition
5. The food (that comes with tuition!)

Huge thank you to Sherri and Zulma for welcoming us with wide arms into your school 2 years ago. We will miss you SO much this August when we head off to K!”

“From the very beginning, our experience here was nothing short of exceptional. Chelsea set the tone with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care, and that same spirit carried through every part of the center. Christy, Gabriella R., and Zenaida were always there to greet our family with a smile, kindness, and such positive energy that drop-off and pick-up consistently felt welcoming and personal.
Over time, it became very clear that this was not simply a daycare, but a place where children are truly known, cared for, encouraged, and loved. Every teacher and staff member played a role in making our family feel special, supported, and completely at ease. That kind of consistency and heart is rare, and all the hallway hellos made a lasting impact on us.
We have experienced multiple childcare centers, and this was without question the best daycare experience we have ever had. We are so confident in our experience that we recommended many of our friends, and we would do so again without hesitation.
To the teachers, staff, and leadership team: thank you for creating such a special environment for our children and our family. You made a meaningful chapter of our lives easier, happier, and more memorable. We are incredibly grateful.”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would do it without hesitation because they deserve it

Incredibly grateful to this school I was going through problems at my previous school and as soon as I arrived my 1-year-old girl began to speak more fluently in two languages she adapted to the staff very quickly they treat you as a family not only as a customer really serious with safety, incredible activities for small and big children even the big children respect and play with the smallest is that I do not know what more good things to say.... 100% recommended”

“The VPK teachers create an environment that encourages learning at all levels, inclusion, helps them navigate emotions/friendships, and teaches them to give back to their communities. The communication is wonderful and I love getting pictures/updates from the teacher about what my daughter is learning throughout the week. Our daughter loves going to school and asks to go to school on the weekends. We all have absolutely loved our experience at Primrose for VPK.”

“We are so grateful for the wonderful experience our family has had with Primrose Carrollwood! Our children have grown so much—socially, emotionally, and academically—thanks to the engaging curriculum and supportive environment they provide. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our child is in a safe, nurturing place where they feel happy and excited to learn. I believe our children are better prepared and have ahead start in their next educational journey. Thank you, Primrose Carrollwood, for everything you do!”

“The staff here is like family. My children attended preschool here over 25 years ago and now my grandchildren. Most of the staff has been here for over 20 years and they are very caring and nurturing, always doing what is in the best interest of the children and their development.”

“I have had such a great experience with my daughter attending The Goddard VPK program. They are great with communications, parent involvement, and always greeted with a friendly face. We will miss being at Goddard since my daughter will be moving onto kindergarten next year. I feel that Goddard has done such a great job building a foundation to prepare my daughter for kindergarten.”

“These teachers will care for your child like one of their own, beyond grateful to have a place like this. Clean, welcoming, and they truly make a difference in all the lives of the children that come through their doors.”

“I transferred my son and daughter here after having some issues with the previous childcare provider due to my son’s behavioral problems. I explained his issues and they willingly accept him and worked with him until the therapist came in action and his tantrums were reduced to zero. I’m especially grateful to Ms Yolanda and Ms Scarlett, my son loves them very much but he is very fond to Ms Yolanda I can’t thank them enough to love and take care of my child. Thank you so much”

“The infant teachers love our baby so much! All of them got us through our first year and I’m forever grateful. And our teacher now, Mariah, is so sweet and always takes time to tell us about our child’s day.”

“Our son has been attending La Petite Academy since he was just three months old, and now, at three years old, we truly couldn’t be happier with our experience.

Every single person we’ve encountered—from the teachers and administrative team to the staff who prepare the meals—has been kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. It’s clear that they care deeply, and that peace of mind means everything to us as parents.

One of the things we especially appreciate is the app, which allows us to check in throughout the day and stay connected. Receiving updates on meals, activities, and potty training has been incredibly helpful and reassuring.

Most importantly, he absolutely LOVES going to school. He’s learning, growing, making friends, and coming home happy—which is the greatest reassurance we could ask for.”

“Suncoast Academy has given me the opportunity to meet incredible children and wonderful families, who return generation after generation to our academy. It has also given me the opportunity to work with an excellent team of teachers, professional and caring at all times, ensuring that our children's stay is a happy experience. Thank you to Suncoast Academy, its teachers, and its families.
Suncoast Academy is a center where all children are well received, cared for and receive excellent learning in a safe and healthy environment. I recommend 100% Suncoast Academy.”

“This center was beyond satisfying! My daughter’s experience was incredible all summer. I appreciated that there was a weekly schedule for the kids. The facility was welcoming and very clean. I enjoyed getting pictures during the day when the kids would have activities to see my daughter. My daughter will definitely be returning!”

“My son wakes up every day with a beautiful smile on his face before going to school. Since he started the daycare, he's been motivated to learn. His first language is Spanish, and he learns a new English word every day. Thank you to teacher Mary for teaching my son, and I also thank her for her patience and love for him”

“My oldest attended this school in 2014, and we are back in 2026. It isn’t just a school it’s a family thing. Thank you for always treating my kids with love and care. Keep on doing what you guys are doing everyone in this school is great!”

“Our child has been attending Goddard for over two years, and our experience has been nothing short of wonderful. From daycare to now the pre-k program which offers an excellent curriculum that supports learning and growth. Both Ms. Jasmine and Ms. Dee are incredibly professional, kind, sweet and nurturing. They create a warm and engaging environment for our little one. Both teachers do a phenomenal job!!!”

“My daughter had an amazing experience here for Kindergarten Prep (VPK). Ms. Kandee was the best teacher we could ask for- sweet, patient and taught them so many new things. The school was very organized while we were there and my daughter truly enjoyed her experience.0”

“Webb Road Kinder Care is EXCEPTIONAL! From their wonderful staff, to their extensive learning environment, to their safe and child friendly outdoor fenced in play area! My son is special needs and they truly go above and beyond to make sure he is accepted, included and cared for. Miss Summer and Miss Paula (the site director or assistant site director) are absolute gems. My son's teacher is Miss Lexie, she is spectacular. Miss Yuli cares for another age group, but does the arts and crafts with the children and she is amazing as well. I cannot say enough great things about this facility. 100/10 !!”

“Pepin Academies of Tampa changed our daughters life. She loves going to school now! She has loving, caring, and attentive teachers & staff who always go above and beyond for their students.It’s one of the most amazing school for children with different learning needs. Our daughter has ASD, ADHD, and intellectual disabilities, but the teachers & staff at Pepin see beyond those labels and help the child flourish academically and personally.We can’t recommend or thank Pepin Academies enough for what they’ve done for our family.”

“Both infant room and preschool have great teachers. They both have curriculum of various activities and learning objectives they offer daily. Classrooms are very clean. Initially , I was having issues about the feeding schedule being followed for my baby. However, management stepped in very fast to offer help after I left a review raising my concerns. I appreciate the good communication at this center.”

“We’ve had our 9-month-old son at Creative World off Causeway since November, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We truly feel like he’s more developed than other babies his age that we’ve seen, and I credit a lot of that to the attention and care he receives there every day.

The teachers are outstanding! They’re patient, engaged, and you can tell they genuinely care about the kids. It gives us a lot of peace of mind knowing he’s in a place where he’s not just watched, but actually supported in his development and learning.

We’re grateful for the team at Creative World and would absolutely recommend them to other parents looking for a safe, caring, and development-focused daycare.”
