This school is wonderful. I found it by accident when my son was 3. It was the only daycare he ever went to that he didn't cry every day when I dropped him off. He cried the 1st day then never again. I knew something was different about them. He stayed until time for kindergarten. Then when my youngest was ready for daycare I knew without a doubt that Bay Vista Learning Center was the only place I would take her. She is now graduating VPK and I will miss them dearly, as will she. She loves Miss Jodi. They truly care about the kids, you can tell. Ms. Diane just loves them too, she is wonderful. Some of the teachers that were there 6 years ago when my son was there are still there. That's almost unheard of for a preschool/daycare. That tells you something. I highly recommend them to anyone that really wants a loving, nurturing, family environment for their children while they have to be away from them. They were truly a blessing to me and my family and I will never forget them. ...read more

My son has been attending Bay Vista for three years and we've been happy with the experience. \t\n\t\nTheir location is close to several larger employers in Pinellas County, they have convenient hours of operation and are open every weekday except for major holidays.\t\n\t\nThey have tons of activities for the kids. On Halloween they have a Hoe Down with pony rides, games, a petting zoo and other fun. They bring in entertainment through out the year in the form of plays, magic shows etc. In the summer they have water slides and bounce houses a few times a month as well as lots of other activities.\t\n\t\nSome optional activites they offer are onsite classes in karate, dance or the Tumble Bus for a small monthly fee. The instructors come once a week to work with the kids enrolled in those classes.\t\n\t\nMy son is now in VPK and they have worked with the kids on their alphabet, writing skills, numbers and words. They have done a great job helping to prepare him for kindergarten.\t\n\t\nWe have been very happy with Bay Vista Learning Center and definitely recommend it! ...read more
