Really appreciate all the communication we receive about our child's experience and day. He loves going to school and is learning and having fun. Management team and teachers very friendly and professional. We moved from another state, and feel lucky to have a great school such as this in our community.

Both of my kids currently attend this school and I can't speak highly enough about our experience there. From the infant room all the way through VPK, we have had a wonderful experience. The infant room teachers have always been so caring, which makes taking them each day much easier on my heart. My son has learned so much over the years and is so bright and I owe a large part of that to the school and how he's being taught. I feel confident that both my kids will be well prepared for elementary school when they start. No school is perfect, but anytime there has even been a small issue, the staff was quick to address it and worked with us to come to an understanding. I have recommended this school to alot of coworkers and friends.

I would wear a huge sign all day for this school if I could as I am a fan of all things Primrose - the curriclum, staff/management, teaching style, facility layout, healthy alternative menu options...I could even give praise to the interior paint colors! Both of my children attended Primrose and were promoted based on their academic progress and maturity level, not simply their ages. As a result, when my oldest son eventually enrolled in public school, he was so well prepared, he was accepted into the gifted program (and his younger brother is on the same path). But equally important as their outstanding academic preparation is the loving care shown towards the students and their families. I strongly encourage other parents to climb aboard the Primrose train!

As a professor at USF, my child has been enrolled at Primrose School of Tampa Palms for almost three years. We have been very pleased with the quality of teaching staff and the progress our son has made. We would highly recommend this school.

My 4 month old child attended this school for one month in December 2010. I was VERY DISPLEASED with this Primrose school. On my daughter's first day of school she turned blue during her nap and the teacher notified the director and I was never notified. When I picked her up the teacher notified me of the occurrence and stated that they think it was the lighting in the room or it was too cold and that when they touched my daughter she woke up and her color returned to her face. The older teachers spoke Spanish and little English. The teachers also had their favorite children that they would hold more often than others. I was asked by the teachers to place her in her crib when I arrived which is not Primrose policy in regards to greeting children as they enter the classrooms. All my bottle nipples were cut without my permission. The family pictures that we supplied to them were never returned to us when we transferred locations They asked me to return to pick her artwork and when I returned, they were no where to be found. So I have moved my daughter Land O Lakes and she seems to be happier and excited to be at school

Wrong choice for parents/children. Teachers speak broken English. My child did not learn anything much from them. It is not worth money $210/wk if you have to be the one to do most of teachings at home.

My child has been in the infant room for a couple of months and so far we are very pleased with Primrose. There is a weekly curriculum, and the children have fun with art projects, and do stimulating crafts I would never have thought of doing with an infant. The infant teachers are amazing women! Each week a newsletter is sent home with the upcoming week's curriculum highlights for physical development, social development, language and creative arts. Sign language is also practiced and encouraged at home. The teachers work with each child's individual needs. Ours hated tummy time and is now taking naps on her belly thanks to the infant teachers. The The Director is wonderful and immediately addressed a few issues we had in the beginning. The staff is very friendly. I'd definitely recommend Primrose Tampa Palms for infant care.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
