Vpk

My grandson attends Kids are Tops and we all love it! It is on Kingsway just north of route 60. Their phone number is ###-###-####. He has been there since he was 2 and is now in vpk. Both my daughter-in-law and I will recommend it to anyone. They are also open from 0630 to 1830.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Limona Village Chapel Children's Center ###-###-####) is Brandon's best kept secret! It's on one of those side roads off 60... East of Lakewood Dr. (on that road where Dunkin' Donuts is)

My daughter is in the 3 year old class, but the VPK class looks AWESOME. That teacher showed me around the school when we first got here in the summer, and she seems so great. Everyone there is so warm and friendly and caring. My daughter LOVES school! I don't know what kind of availability they have right now, but it's worth a phone call. Good luck!

I have 2 boys who go to Post Sunshine Ranch located on John Moore. They don't offer the free "VPK", but they have a preschool program and a private kindergarten there. It is a very charming place. My oldest is 4 and he's been going since he was 18 months. Everyone is so friendly there. It sits on a few acres and the owners live in a house next to the school. It has huge playgrounds and even a small farm where the kids can go on little "field trips" to see the animals. I highly recommend it!!

My twins went to Simmons (Parsons and Clay) and the people were nice and the room (outside and the farthest ffrom the office) was roomy, sunny and they loved that they could see the trains from there. I liked one down south also in Valrico, (Child's nest or something like that .. but they were too full). Your best bet is to go online and just call and visit each place. Some you can reject just from outside. My twins tried La Petite but it was like chickens packed in a cage (too small..) and even I felt overwhelmed. Good Luck. Oh! There is one by Falkenburg and Lumsden, and that was good too (it is some church program). Some of them are very expensive if you are leaving your child for after care, and so we did not look into those (since we have three kids).

Castles of Imagination, they are great. Independently owned, the owner Ms. Tina is awesome. It is clean and very curriculum oriented. The website is not very up to date but it will give you the location: http://www.castlesofimagination.com/ They are doing their Fall enrollment right now so I don't know if they have any openings but you can try. My 3 yr old boy and 20 mth old girl go there they LOVE their teachers. Good luck
