I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Playtime Learning Academy is the best Preschool in Tampa. Son in Preschool has learned so much by attending this school. The school has a classroom schedule and their lessons are elite to their learning ability. Ms. Natasha, Ms. Shawn, Ms. Simone, and Ms. Natalie are great teachers and they are so caring. I love them!!! If you are looking for a School that has a curriculum and well accredited, Playtime Learning Academy is the best choice!!!!!!!

Review Policy: ChildcareCenter.us does not actively screen or monitor user reviews, nor do we verify or edit content. Reviews reflect only the opinion of the writer.

About the Provider

At Playtime we provide the materials to enrich that natural learning process. Our activities and crafts center around the theme of the month and encourage critical thinking and creativity. Our personnel are trained, as teachers, to guide children toward their own self-discovery with hands-on fun. Young children learn best by doing. Learning requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work, and about the world in which they live. Children need to explore daily with all their senses. Exciting development occurs as children play and this play becomes the foundation for academic learning. Play is the work of young children. Playtime Learning Academy encourages children to be active learners who are not afraid to try out their ideas. Our goal is to help children learn through play and to become independent, self-confident learners. Playtime alternates structured and unstructured activities throughout each day. Our teachers help children to develop the ability to learn, not just in school, but throughout their lives.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
