Top Rated 15 Schools in Largo, FL - A Guide for Parents and Students

Kelvin Smith My son in new beginnigs since he was 8months old. I was a little hesitant by him being so young, but I had to get back to work. The infant teachers gave me a sense of relief. They were very inviting and it really look like he was in good hands. Now my son is almost 2 and can spell his name and he can say all his teachers name by heart. he loves his teachers, even though they go back and forth with each other.. they are very patient with the toddlers. Im glad my husband and I made the decision to allow him to attend this daycare. Thank you for your good work.

b. Rose (Astrea) The workers are truly amazing!!! But one worker who sticks out the most is the manger, she is the absolute sweetest, kindest childcare provider I have ever seen!!! The manger actually cares for the kids by making sure the kids are safe and happy, all while following the daycare guidelines.Overall, the best thing about her is she learns each child so she can work with them in the best way possible!! Personally, I give childcare network five stars

Sarah Ashford The staff are amazing my kids love going here they’ve learned so much great environment

Chaney Smelser I just want to start by saying I could go on and on about all the amazing things about this school, especially the cleanliness! The care and professionalism Wonder Kidz Academy provide is phenomenal!! My son’s first “daycare” experience was horrible and we were blessed to find this school! The director and teachers go above and beyond here and it’s not just a daycare. My son isn’t even two and has picked up on some sign language in just a couple of months! We love our school! :)

Chloe Preg We’ve had our daughter at Wonder Kids since April after a bad experience at our first daycare. This center was a blessing, Ms Holly the director was compassionate and kind as I was a nervous wreck to put my daughter in another daycare. Her infants teacher Ms Jina was so sweet and attentive to our daughter, it’s just what she needed to help with the transition. Now our girl is in the Ones room with Miss Felicia and Miss Brittany. Both teachers are amazing and patient with my daughter, they always provide updates, pictures and helpful feedback when we need it. We’re so happy to have found this center!

HOJ Templar (Templar) The new teacher, Angel, there is something else. Doesnt allow a child to use the restroom when they state they need to, yells at them and withholds food (that is paid for) while seperating them from the other kids with the excuse that "he is getting picked up early". Some positive atmosphere that is. We are pulling our child out and refuse to put him through that any further.

Courtney Ley This school has been clean and festive anytime I came in. The director is the sweetest! Every teacher Ive encountered with is polite and respectful. All of the children seem to enjoy this school with no issues!

Tisha Figueroa Love Wonder Kidz and its teachers, my daughter has been attending this school since she was 6 months old she is now 3 and is still there. Everyone is very sweet Ms. Liz (director) is very sweet and so helpful. Im very thankful for these ladies and this school ❤️

Michelle Faulkner My son has thrived since hes been going here! The director is Super sweet and the teachers are wonderful with all of the Kids, I made a good choice When I decided to put my son in this center for care and I would recommend it to anyone!! I was Hesitant on daycare because of stories Ive heard but this place put my mind at ease! Thanks Miss Liz and all the wonderful staff for being so caring with my little one!

Sabrina Shepherd Both our sons have or do go to St. Jerome’s for preschool and we could not be happier. We feel completely comfortable sending them there knowing that they will learn in hands on creative and fun ways and be safe with everyone too. Our youngest is so happy to go and play each week with his friends and has learned so much from them.

Ornela Drazhi The staff at St. Jerome Early Childhood Center embodies warmth and dedication, creating a nurturing environment where children thrive. My son has flourished under their care, and their genuine kindness has made a lasting impression on our family. Their commitment to fostering a love for learning is evident in every interaction, and my son eagerly looks forward to his time at school each day. I am grateful for the positive impact St. Jerome Early Childhood Center has had on my son’s early education journey

Val Tro I had my child registered at another place but then one friend talked to me about this school and I really liked the way she expressed about it. So I was lucky and I had the opportunity to have an interview with the lovely staff. After I met them, I knew this was the right place for my son, they are caring, they always welcome us with a smile and the best attitude. They have great communication. They use a portal and they send information of all the activities and lessons they teach to our kid. They help the community, they have activities and every day my boy goes to school he is extra happy! He loves his teachers, he loves to play and we are so blessed to be able to be part of the St. Jerome Family. Thank you to Ms. Phyllis for working so hard and having always a smile for us, to Ms. Michelle for being so kind and organized and always be on top of everything, to Ms. Christina for the hard and beautiful job that she does, she is always teaching them beautifully and she is a very caring teacher/mom. To Ms. Hull, she really put her heart on her job. My son loves her, you can see how genuine she is. And to all the staff, me and my husband only have words of thanks! I highly recommend this place for your little ones!

Ashley Auger Highly recommend The Learning Center for all your childcare needs. As someone who has worked at many schools in Pinellas County over the last decade...I can confidently say that TLC has THE BEST teachers and offers THE BEST care in the county. While the wait list may be long, it is worth the wait! The teachers are all amazing, dedicated individuals with years of experience and a majority have been with the center for a decade or more!

Emily Pearl My daughter has been to a few different daycares, due to various reasons, and we FINALLY found the perfect one. They truly care about the children and it shows. They have put so much thought into everything, from the atmosphere, to the interior design, and a weekly “Fun Friday”. Would 100% recommend.

Tony L Absolutely phenomenal! Our experience with The Learning Center has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first day, we felt welcomed, supported, and completely confident that our child was in the best hands possible. The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and passionate about what they do. You can tell they genuinely love working with children and it shows in every interaction. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where each child feels seen, valued, and loved. The daily activities are well-structured and thoughtfully designed to support both learning and fun. Our little one comes home every day full of stories, songs, new skills, and big smiles. The center fosters creativity, curiosity, and kindness—traits we’ve seen blossoming in our child since day one. Communication is stellar. We receive regular updates, photos, and progress reports, which give us peace of mind and make us feel truly involved in our childs growth and development. We can’t recommend The Learning Center highly enough. It’s not just a daycare—it’s a second home, a learning haven, and a place where children truly thrive.

Jessica Caylor My son has been going to Oakhurst Learning Center since he was 2 years old, so almost 2 years now. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They helped with potty training, developing and learning new skills, and communication. I would get pictures and update throughout the day through the app. They provide a weekly meal plan along with a structured daily agenda of their activities by the hour. My son first started with only saying a few words and after the first week we noticed a significant change in his vocabulary, singing lots of new songs, and was a lot more interested in how to communicate. He was at an in-home daycare with younger kids who he didnt get much interaction with. I feel extremely safe with my son going to this school as the staff really do care about the kids like they are their own. Within the first day of attending the school all the teachers knew his name and made him feel right at home. I was afraid he wouldnt want to go back but 2 years later he is excited to go everyday to see his friends and teachers. I would strongly recommend Oakhurst Learning Center for any child especially the ones who are uncertain about putting their kids into a center after being home with them and having to go back to work. This is the place to go. You will not be disappointed with the care.

Sarah Rogers My son has been attending OLC for several years now and there has not been a single teacher, assistant or administrator that has not put 110% of their time and effort into these kids. We have had nothing but good experiences and the teachers have been like family to us. I trust them completely with my child. Information is well-communicated, organized, efficient, and parent-friendly. Each of the classrooms have tons of age-appropriate toys, games and activities and I know that my son is being properly prepared for school both socially and mentally. I will continue to recommend OLC to all of my friends and family.

Spencer Delgado Daughters daycare for the last few years and it Seen amazing, the staff is consistent and fantastic and my kiddo has made so many friends

angelia whitfield The headstart on 19th had a sub teacher, who grabbed my grand baby by her arm and shoved her to the ground and said he is sick of her. What kind of mess is this?

Emma Huapilla This is insane I filled out an application with Barbara she left on maternity leave didnt tell anyone that I filled out every single paperwork for my daughter to start school and now they are telling me that I need to redo my application bring all my forms again when I had already done before to be exact at the end of June or mid July called and text left voicemails no one ever returned my calls now my daughter is left out of school because of this its so unprofessional!!

Jennifer Villafane Best toddler Montessori!!! I would recommend this school 100%!!! My son has been going there since he was only 1, literally had just turned 1. Still in diapers and transitioning to sippy cup. Now he is 4 and has learned so much independently. They have helped me in many ways. Dana, Sonny, Korki, Abby thank you for being amazing and always loving, teaching and caring for my boy. My son learned to explore, feed himself and clean up after. They do puzzles, gardening, listening, socializing, letters, numbers, counting, songs, story time and had so many activities. He looks forward to going to school!
