I'm not typically one to write reviews about products or services, but I'm motivated to provide the…read moreinsight of a father of a toddler who has been with the school for nearly 4 years now. We toured the school shortly after relocating to Tampa Palms and immediately felt comfortable. Many of the teachers, especially in the rooms of the youngest children, have been with the school for a very long time. They treat your children as if they were their own. They challenge them, they support them, they teach them, and they allow them to be children. The curriculum is dynamic and feedback is consistently provided to help us to extend the learning outside the classroom. From a value perspective, the pricing is extremely competitive and affordable. When the new owners took over, they spent significant funds to improve the facilities. They upgraded the entire outdoor area to make it more usable year round, especially during rainy season. The Fitzpatricks did this because they knew it would be a better product and a better environment for our children. Tuition didn't increase a penny, despite the large capital improvement. The owners and leadership team work closely with outside vendors to make sure that the extracurricular programs offered to our students are competitively priced and from reputable companies. My son loves that he is able to participate in gymnastics, soccer, drama, and soon will be joining in on karate. He wouldn't have the opportunity to be exposed to such a wide variety of programs without Primrose. In terms of responsiveness, we've never seen a parent's request or small complaint go without answer and remediation. The school does an excellent job communicating with all parents. No school of infants to Pre-K students will ever be completely free of germs, but should a student bring an infection into school, there is immediate communication to parents, and steps are taken to ensure that any potential spread is minimized. I travel for work most weeks and my wife also works full time. Neither of us would be able to have the peace of mind and ability to focus on our careers that we do without the amazing environment and experience provided by both Primrose and its owners, The Fitzpatricks. We know that our son is in good hands and is surrounded by friends, teachers, and administrators who care about his safety, well-being, education, and growth. When you enroll in Primrose, you gain an extension of your family. Teachers become aunts and uncles who check in on your child long after they move on from their classroom. The support staff and administrators go out of their way to make you feel informed and included, and they make sure to give every student attention. A building full of infants and toddlers has the potential to be a very chaotic place, but somehow the group at Primrose Tampa Palms finds a way to provide a calm, inclusive, and supportive environment for all of us. A child's education and development is one of the most important investments you can make, especially in these early years. If we had to make the choice again, we'd choose Primrose every time.

My children have been attending Primrose since the fall of 2013. They have grown up here and the…read morestaff knows each one of them. They care for them like they were their own and know all of their little quirks. I feel confident that when I drop them off they will have a day full of structured learning and play. They both love Primrose and it is evident that the staff, to include leadership, are invested in them and to making the school somewhere they feel safe and happy when they are away from home. 100% trust this school with my children!

Both of my children have attended TLE...my daughter and now my son. I just had to share how much we…read morelove TLE. All the support staff, director, and my son's teacher are all just amazing. Mrs. Marielsy has been such a blessing to our son this year. As his time in her class comes to an end before moving up to VPK, I can honestly say we are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she pours into every child each day. She is incredibly diligent and attentive with all the children, especially with helping them learn and grow at their own pace. Our son has learned so much in her class -- academically, socially, and emotionally -- and he truly loves going to school because of the calm, happy, and welcoming environment she creates. One of the things we appreciate most is how creative and engaging she is with the children. The fun projects, crafts, and activities she plans are always thoughtful and exciting, and we love seeing the special things our son proudly brings home. Teaching this age group is not easy, yet she handles it with such grace and patience that she makes it look effortless. Mrs. Marielsy also speaks both Spanish and English, which adds such a wonderful dynamic to the classroom. Even while continuing to strengthen her English fluency, her kindness, warmth, and ability to connect with the children shines through so naturally, and the leadership team is always supportive whenever needed. We are beyond thankful for the positive impact she has had on our son and our family. Any child would be lucky to have her as a teacher!

So much so I moved my youngest over there earlier to get her a headstart. By the time my older one went to Kindergarten she was so far ahead of kids that came from other centers. The quality is unbeatable and they average the same prices and other centers around but I feel like I got better value for my money. Nadine at the front is phenomenal and they have top tier teachers including Ms. Nicole who is amazing with the kids. I recommend them to everyone with small kids.

I cannot give enough praise and thanks to the Primrose CC family! We recently had to move away from…read morethe area and in going another school truly became aware of just how good we had it at Primrose CC. Primrose CC was an extension of our family. We had our two daughters here, both from the time they were infants (now almost 3 and a little over 1). The owners, Director, and teachers were so invested in our girls. I loved that EVERYONE (really, no exceptions) knew my girls, gave high fives and hugs when they saw them in the hallway during drop off and pick up, and were truly invested in their growth, learning, comfort, and happiness. Any time we had a concern (which was rare) it was immediately addressed with thoughtfulness and respect. Mr. and Mrs. McCallister, Ms. Ground, and the teachers consistently communicate about events, how the girls were doing, etc. Everyone really gets into the events at the school too, down to dress up days and charitable activities. Such fun for the kiddos! We will truly miss you, Primrose CC family!

It was such a great peace of mind knowing that my daughter was in such great hands. Also my daughter is leaps and bounds ahead of so many other kids her age with the help of Primrose. They engaged her so well on different levels, cognitive and social. Thank you Primrose! We already miss you!

I am a first time mommy and I was very nervous to let my LO begin his first Infant Day Care…read moreexperience so I can return back to work. But,it has been a wonderful experience for my LO in the past 2 months. Not only am I able to call or drop by to check on my son anytime; they post pictures and videos of what he is doing during circle time or if he shows a milestone, such as holding his bottle, singing his ABC's, turning on the floor on his own and talking with the other infants in the class. You receive a daily email report on his feedings, diaper changes and sleeping times electronically (so much better than on paper for your records). I also liked how they only allow 8 babies at a time in the room and always have backup whenever a caretaker is out of the office. The infant room is clean, organized and not so crammed, unlike some other places I've seen. The teachers know my LO by name and it feels really safe there. During the first week, being the anxious mom, I had to check on my son the entire week. To my surprise, the Directors answered the phone on the first few rings to assist me. The 2 Directors, Steve and Yvonne are very helpful, insightful and accommodating to any questions or concerns. I would like to give kudos to 2 main caretakers in the infant room, Samantha and Arcely. They are very attentive to my LO's needs and inform me on my LO's accomplishments or give a few great recommendations. So far, my LO seems very happy and content every time he is in the infant classroom. He also surprisingly sleeps throughout the night when at home, versus at day care because of all the activities and interacting with the other infants in the room.

Not first time mom but still nervous about sending my child. I usually pick schools that know,…read moreknew someone who attented the school or worked there. So I did a tour, Tour was good. Friendly, clean, sercurity as far as people walk in walk out I thought was good for the most part no complains. Had a little problem with enrollment about to enroll, nothing big that would stop me.. So asked to see the bathroom. It was clean for the most part but inside the toliet looked like it could use a good scrub, nothing horrifying. But I took a double look and the doors are half doors, and so asked and explained it had to be like that bc some kids are not self helped. What ever happend to teachers standing by the bathrooms if they needed help. I have never seen a halfdoor and the half door, most of it is glass to see in. This is what Turned me away to be honest. I have taught my kids from a young age body part and what not to show. so any tours scdh or not schd come in and and person can see my child useing the bathroom and all the little kids sitting on the floor or in centers can see straight in. This honestly was a deal breaker for me. like I said everyone was nice, clean, classrooms good, not to much stuff org. But I didnt like that anyone can walk in and see my child use the bathroom.
