Why 5 stars? Because we will definitely miss taking our son here…read more --- --- --- As of this writing, our son is about 2.5 years old and had been going to Kiddie Academy since he was about 5 months. The only reason I say all of this in the past tense is because we just moved out of state. If not for that, we definitely would have kept him here indefinitely. Back when my wife was pregnant and we were touring all of the daycares in the area, we truly could not believe how expensive they were. Literally, the cost of daycare was the same as a monthly payment for a luxury sports car. Heck, it was even on par with my first mortgage. How does anyone afford this?! But fortunately, while still cheap by no means, Kiddie Academy was definitely the most affordable option in the area. And as first time parents, we *immediately* learned that not only was tuition worth it, but we were probably under-paying. Being able to leave our son in the hands of these lovely people for up to 50 hours a week was invaluably helpful for two working parents. We knew he was in great hands and we knew he was having a lot more fun at school than he would have been at home with us. If you're in the Carrollwood/Northdale area, be sure to stop by for a tour here before you decide on visiting another school. We are excited for our new adventure but sad for our son to leave his first group of best friends. This is my last review of a Tampa Bay business. I wanted to save a place that was incredibly important to us for my last review, and there was no place more crucial to our family than Kiddie Academy over the last two years. Now, it's off to writing about a million businesses in the Houston area!

The summer camp is also great, offering field trips and themed days to keep the kids busy and active. I would highly recommend this place.

At $14,000 a year, I expected a strong academic program, and that's not what we found. Class sizes…read moreare very large, and the teachers are visibly stretched thin. Many hold a Montessori certificate but no formal teaching credentials or education degree, and it shows in the consistency of instruction. Academics have been a real weakness. Many families, ours included, end up paying for private tutoring to fill gaps the school isn't addressing. Paying private-school tuition plus tutoring defeats the purpose.c The environment is pleasant and (some of) the staff clearly care, but caring isn't enough when they're overextended and under-supported. If you're considering Country Day Montessori, ask hard questions about student-to-teacher ratios, teacher qualifications, and academic outcomes, and talk to current parents about whether they're supplementing with tutors. Student turnover is very high.

I told her I needed to secure care for my daughter because I was getting ready to start a new job. She replied with the same explanation... I told her I suppose I would have to explore other options, especially if I couldn't even see the place. To my surprise, her response was "okay! Have a great day!"

We had a very positive experience with Early Steps Montessori. After visiting several Montessori…read moreschools in Tampa, this was the only one both parents agreed was a great fit for our child. Michelle and Greg were always kind, responsive, and willing to address our concerns. When we raised questions about our son's comfort with a particular teacher, they took the time to listen, explain, and follow up with another teacher in the classroom. We ultimately decided to withdraw our child for personal reasons, and the school was helpful in discussing options that could accommodate our preferences. The school has a 60-day cancellation policy clearly stated in the enrollment contract, and we were charged according to those terms. Overall, we appreciated the care, communication, and professionalism of the team and wish them continued success!

As a mom, that's the first thing I look at: a child who runs in happy tells you everything. I'm from Colombia, where warmth and closeness with children is part of our culture, and that's exactly what I found here. Greg, Michelle and the teachers are caring, attentive and affectionate with the kids. They know every child, they tell you how the day went, and they listen when you have a concern. I feel completely at peace leaving my daughter with them. I also want to say this: I personally recommended this school to the family behind one of the negative reviews here, and I know the situation from up close. My experience, and that of the other parents I know at the school, has been the complete opposite of what's described there. I'd encourage anyone reading to visit, take the tour and talk to current parents before forming an opinion. Without a doubt, I recommend Early Steps.
