The earliest years is an amazing one. Its on Bay to Bay close to MacDill. They only allow kids up to 3 yrs old so you dont get a bunch of big kids messing with your baby, etc Its an old south tampa house and the owners are amazing. They paint, dance, sing, get dirty....its just a very caring place. Good luck!
Re: South Tampa?
We looked at a few in South Tampa before choosing ours. All were good, varying prices. Check out:
Play Care on MacDill and Kennedy (they just have babies there; older kids are on Howard).
Suncoast Academy, Henderson and Lois. Actual address is San Miguel, I think.
Stargate Academy, Swann and Dale Mabry, next to Einstein's.
There's also one downtown, Carlton Academy, I think? Great recommendations but v. expensive.
