Great VPK choice for our daughter! She talks all the time about how much she misses her school. She learned so much and made a lot of friends. She loved her VPK year, well except nap time lol we highly recommend Kids r Kids.

This school year couldn’t have been better if I dreamed it. My almost 5 year is graduating from VPK today completely ready for kindergarten. He attended school in person, which we were very nervous about but KRK was extremely safe, kept up as much of a sense of “normal” for the little ones as possible so he was able to thrive in the midst of this terrible year. We are SO GRATEFUL for this incredible school.

The owner, Joy, is simply the best. Best VPK, it feels like a family. I truly thank Joy and Miss Jamie for making me feel as comfortable as possible the first day of VPK with my son.

Kids R Kids has been a fabulous place for our kids. The different needs of each of our children has been a collaborative approach between the teachers, owner and our family. I appreciate a well run business when I see one and Kids R Kids definitely runs a nurturing environment!

Hands down THE BEST PRESCHOOL EVER.From the director to the owner to the employees to policies, they do the job right when taking care of kids.

Review №7

We chose Kids are Kids because of the description of a Montessori atmosphere. Unfortunately, my child is very bored and not challenged at all. My child scored above on the assessment and is still doing things learned last year. The front office staff is very nice but the owner Joy seems to lack customer service skills and the ability to be kind. As an owner you would think she would make an effort to be welcoming. She even scolds office staff in front of parents which is so unprofessional. She is very rude and speaking amongst the rest of the parents it seems to be across the board. We will not continue next year. It’s not worth the money. The curriculum is sub par. The promise to challenge each child at their own level isn’t being fulfilled. Looking at the other ratings, I’m not sure if it’s a Florida thing that people find this school acceptable coming from another state. I have found public schools with better curriculums and a higher academic achievement rate this past year. The teachers are kind but they also need to be able to teach beyond the bear minimum. There’s so very few reviews which makes the overall review of this school look better than it is. If there is a committee for the school, I would eliminate Joy being in close interaction with the parents and staff during school hours. She is not an asset to the school. Quite frankly, she will most likely be the demise. Very disappointed with the overall experience

The teacher turnover is terrible and I notice a new teacher in every room almost every month. The ladies who sit in at the front desk usually say hi to my family in the morning but you can always tell when they’re having a personal issue (at least someone every week) because they will speak to you on some days. The owner is there every day which is good to see because it seems she is dedicated to her business. Although, I have spoken to some staff and they talk about how terrible the directorship and owner is. Which is very unprofessional. I have pulled my child out not be taking him back. Do not waste your time!

We toured many places before deciding Kids R Kids in Westchase was the best place for our daughter. The front desk staff is wonderful and helpful with any question or concern I ever have. They have a parent-accessible camera system in each classroom that is included in the tuition. You receive a daily update to your e-mail showing if and how they used the bathroom, how long your child slept for nap time, what was served to eat and how much was eaten. There is an in-house chef who makes 2 healthy (kid-friendly) meals a day (snacks in between each meal). And every classroom is see-through showing there is nothing to hide while the children interact with each other and with their teachers.My daughter runs up to Wendy every day to give her a big hug. Ms. Nadina and Ms. Sadia are the best teachers we couldve asked for and Joy runs a tight ship and keeps everything in order.Since starting at the age of two, she has learned to; count to 10 in spanish and english, sing the alphabet, sing many nursery songs, eat on her own and use the potty! We put my daughter in the ballet classes they offer once a week with Miss Laura and she loves it!Im so glad we found Kids R Kids! We hear so many horror stories about pre schools all over Tampa and they are nothing like them. We definitely plan on keeping her there until shes off to kindergarten.

I used to work here and was supposed to be over the 4 year olds but was placed with afterschoolers which I dreaded. Some teacher lied about me cursing and got me fired🤷🏽‍♀️

The owner is a constant presence at this school, which makes a big difference. She runs a very tight ship and most of their staff has been there a very long time. They dont seem to have the same staff turnover rate that a lot of daycares/pre-schools do and I always found the teachers to be very loving and caring. They always take the time to talk to us and answer any questions when we come to pick the kids up. Overall weve been very happy there. They also offer a lot of additional activities, like dance, gymnastics, computer classes, etc.I wouldnt put much stock in a review that makes snap judgements about the entire school based on a person who is answering the phones (who, by the way, is in an administrative role and is not a teacher). We had children in this school for 5 years and have been very happy.
