- ALAshley LayNov 13, 20255.0From the moment Emilio and I decided to grow our family, education was at the forefront of our plans. Our very first inquiry was to Primrose School of South Tampa - a school we knew would play a foundational role in our children’s early development. Primrose has always been our top choice and remains our #1 recommendation today. Throughout our Primrose journey, our children have blossomed - thriving academically, forging meaningful relationships, and making a lasting positive impact on our community.
- DBDerek BrunetteOct 29, 20255.0Our family has had someone enrolled at Primrose for the last five and half years. We've been thrilled with the staff, classrooms, and curriculum at the school. When our girls ask to stop into previous classrooms to say hi to former teachers you can tell the positive impact they've had on their lives. We are so appreciative of the personal attention they seem to have to all of the students there, when we were newer parents it provided such a sense of comfort knowing they would be in good hands.
- AGAlexis de GaleSep 24, 20255.0All three of my kids have attended Primrose School of South Tampa since they were infants, and it has truly felt like a second home for our family. The staff knows each of us by name, and they have poured so much care, love, and knowledge into my children. My kids are not only very social but also incredibly well educated thanks to their time here. We’ll be so sad when they finally age out—Primrose has been such a wonderful part of our lives!

They bring so much warmth, patience, and creativity into the classroom every day. Our children are not only learning, they’re thriving. Our daughter comes home full of stories and joy, and it's been incredible to watch her confidence and curiosity grow. One of the shining stars of our experience has been Chelsea Chaires, the Director of Operations. Her leadership is felt in every corner of the school. Chelsea’s dedication, professionalism, and heartfelt commitment to each family truly sets the tone for the entire Primrose experience. She is responsive, compassionate, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure every child and parent feels supported and valued, and to me personally! I cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind she brings us every single day. The school itself is spotless, secure, and beautifully organized—with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a safe and stimulating environment. The communication with families is seamless, and we love getting daily updates, photos, and insights into what our children are learning and experiencing. Enrolling our children at Primrose School of South Tampa has been one of the best choices we've ever made.
