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!

Both my younger daughters had in home nanny's while they were little and once the older one went to…read moreVPK she joined TLE. I was blown away with the level of care and education she received. 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.

The classrooms are clean, organized, and structured in a way that makes learning fun and engaging. Communication with families is excellent, and you can feel the positive culture the moment you walk in the door.

We are so grateful to be part of the Discovery Point Suncoast family.

Wanted to like this daycare but ended up pulling out kid out. 1. The set menu for the full year is…read morenot it. There is a menu for one week then switches to something else then goes back to the same as the first week for the third if that makes sense, nope. The food that is given is not very nutritious ("mixed cereal"- lucky charms and other cereals just mixed together or just a cereal bar or maybe some crackers and cheese for breakfast) the portion size are quite sparse too from what we saw from drop off in morning. Then given a hour by hour break down of general what suppose to be happening in class. We as our child if they did prescribed activity they would more time than not say no. An every day when we would pick up our child would be plopping front of tv screen and teachers would be cleaning up so what ever they say in on the schedule for after 5pm is incorrect the teachers wouldn't be cleaning up if would actually going to go back and do something. The teachers communication was horrible would just post things on door or a wall and just Lt expect the parents to see it. The school doesn't involve the parents no parents teacher review few if any way for parents to be involved. Say they post pictures or thing to their Facebook page and rarely sow any there and or don't remember ever signing a consent form for our child's pictures to but posted up. Would not recommend.

We started our infant daughter at 14 weeks old at this Goddard campus while on the wait list for…read morethe owners' other school which is under construction in South Tampa. We had issues starting on Day 1 when we arrived and teachers were not wearing masks in the infant room. I told my concerns to the Director at the time who assured me they would wear masks moving forward. From then on we always saw her teachers in masks. We had several other issues including a lead teacher who did not provide our daughter any tummy time for several weeks, which we only noticed was happening after she stopped rolling over at home. On several pick up days, the fill in teachers in the afternoons were also using the iPads to show videos to our daughter. We also had some communication issues with her initial lead teacher Re later to scheduled and feeding. When the school director changed from Michelle to Ashley we had a discussion and Ashley addressed all of our concerns. They also brought in a new lead teacher for the infant room - Ms. Jessica - who we really loved and still think is a great infant teacher. The final straw for us, though, was 10 weeks after enrolling when we received the attached notification via the school's app on a Monday evening without any prior notice or warning. When I went to drop off our daughter the next morning, the director confirmed that vaccinated staff and parents would not be required to wear masks although they may still choose to. From what I experienced no one was checking vaccination status at the door. I told her we weren't comfortable with it, and she said that the decision was made by the owners the day before without any warning to anyone - teachers and staff as well. We weren't comfortable with this abrupt policy change, and I took our daughter home. I wrote to the director and asked that they reconsider requiring masks for teachers and parents in the infant room, otherwise we'd have to withdraw our daughter. I don't think this is an unreasonable request. They also already require you to clean your hands and put booties over your shoes to enter the infant room - why is a mask out of the question? The owner wrote me back and said they wouldn't be changing the mask policy and understood our decision to leave the school. The abrupt policy change without warning really put us in a horrible position. Thankfully we have grandparents who live close by and can help care for our daughter while we look for another solution, but if we didn't we would have no choice but to leave our daughter in a situation that we feel is too risky at this point. As a daycare which is intended to provide childcare for working parents, the school's actions have affected my job. Their actions certainly lost my trust and confidence that their school is managed and operated with my daughters best interests in mind. I am giving the school two stars because I do think the director and many teachers mean so well and do care about your children, but I think this school is experiencing several growing pains and that their management has some learning to do re: parent communication and relations. The same owners will be running the South Tampa campus when it opens as well and so we will no longer be attending that campus.

We love this school so very much. They work hard to accommodate our toddler's food allergies and…read morespeech therapy needs. The owner even recommended an on site therapist to us when he was diagnosed. Colleen, the owner, is so organized and direct with every detail, there are no surprises. Our child is happy, hugs and loves in the staff like they're family. We are SO thrilled to be a Goddard family! The school is quick to notify if there are health concerns like Covid or RSV. This has allowed us to keep our son safe in times of higher transmission. It's true the staff doesn't wear masks, but we personally prefer that to assist with ensuring our child can communicate effectively with staff members. His previous school wore masks and that seemed to delay his learning. This school was recommended to me by a friend who's child also attends and raves about her child's teachers. Lastly, the school isn't covered in gross carpet. They have tiled / laminate flooring that can be easily sanitized. I'm a big believer that this helps keeps the kiddos safe and healthy. Tuition is paid monthly and again, everything is very up front and directly communicated. Colleen is available for any parent any time. What more could you ask for?

I couldn't be happier with my daughter's experience at Country Day Montessori School in…read moreCarrollwood! From the very first day, it was obvious that this is a school that truly cares about every child who walks through the door. The entire team is exceptionally organized, knowledgeable, and kind. Every teacher and staff member I've interacted with is professional, warm, and clearly passionate about what they do. They communicate clearly, follow through on everything, and create a calm, structured environment that still feels welcoming and joyful. What stands out most is how much personal attention they give to each child. They really get to know your child's personality, strengths, and interests, and they tailor the learning experience to help them thrive. My daughter's confidence, social skills, and academic abilities have blossomed because the teachers gently challenge her while celebrating every small success. They have helped her develop at her own pace in the best possible way. The family-style setting makes all the difference. It feels like an extension of home -- nurturing, supportive, and full of genuine care. My daughter looked forward to school every single morning. She would wake up excited, talking about her friends and what she would do that day. That happiness says everything. I am so grateful to the whole Country Day Montessori team for making my daughter's early learning years so positive and enriching. If you're looking for a school that truly puts children first, this is it. Highly, highly recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Very teacher dependent. School has limited financial resources, horrible website, no technology for…read morethe kids, no online access to information. Owners are older and not tech savvy at all.Had some good teachers, but high turnover rate, they hired first year teachers when we were there with virtually no experience and the kids suffered.There are much better options for the price. Here's my response: Unfortunately the schools response shows a large part of why we left. They are wrong and ruthless so they need to lie to support their comments. I paid them over $15,000 before we had any financial problems, and my children were there for 3 year not 2. I have the records so saying we paid them nothing until they sued us is a bold faced lie. There was a recession, we did have financial issues as many Americans did during that period and they were ruthless, they let our children return for a third year knowing this knowing we had some problems and then sued us when they found out we were leaving. Here's why we left. We paid over $9,000 for first grade thinking we had a teacher that had been with the school for years. On the first day of school we found out that she had left, that's a fact. Her replacement, we found out a few months later, was the daughter of another teacher at the school who had been there for years. We paid more (much more after they sued us) for a first year teacher, one year out of college who was pregnant from the day she was hired, I assume they knew it, assuring she would not even finish the first year, which she didn't, and she's did not come back the next year. It was the worst year we've had with our kids and we paid through the teeth for their hiring practices. My comments to prospective customers is, the school is only as good as the teacher. They had some good teachers when our kids were younger, no idea if they are still there. But paying $9K a year for my child to be taught by a first year, pregnant teacher, when no one at the school told me her mom was in the other room and was the main reason she was hired was just plain wrong any way you cut it. We paid dearly for that hiring mistake, hopefully no one else will. Oh and a static web site with no ability to log in, view your kids grades, communicate with teachers or review your child's work is not very useful. But hey, they think Al Gore invented the internet....

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!
