Early Steps Montessori Academy

This school is absolutely amazing & has been life changing . They are so caring & super helpful with child development, my son was not talking at all prior to attending ESMA , & now he’s saying a lot & can effectively communicate at home - they even potty train !! I get awesome pictures of what my son is doing through out the day , as well as an agenda I can follow to track what he’s doing that day . I genuinely can not say enough great things about this school ! Leaving my child at a daycare gave me so so much anxiety & was not an option for me , that is why I chose ESMA , if you care about your child this is deff THE school for you & the best one In Tampa, ESMA is an actual legitimate “Montessori school”  🤍 Michelle & all her staff are wonderful. I’m am forever grateful for their passion & dedication to their work,  & the children  , it has made a big difference.

This is the most amazing place you can put your children! I love ESMA!!! After 1 year, they still amaze me with so much love and care for each child! I trust them and my son will stay there for as long as they can take his school age!

My daughter went into Early Steps at age 3, not knowing a word in English and having gone through a bullying experience at another daycare. From the first moment she stepped foot into the school she was welcomed with open arms and adapted right away! The care, dedication and professionalism, and the genuine respect and love everyone at Early Steps has for the children, have been nothing short of miraculous for her development!
A year later she is an extremely outgoing and emotionally intelligent child, that speaks English at a native level, thanks to the support she received in this school!
The experience at Early Steps has been amazing and I cannot speak highly enough of all the teachers and staff! I am extremely thankful We were able to join this family and would highly recommend it to anyone!

This is such an amazing school! I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of my girls. My 7 years old started attending ESMA when she was 3 yrs old and still comes back every summer for summer camp. My 2 yrs old is now part of ESMA and they were wonderful helping me with her transition from home-care to school. They treat us like family and their top priority is always the kid's well being. They offered a very positive learning environment , my girls feel loved and I'm also confident they are getting a strong academic foundation.  The teachers are WONDERFUL!

As a teacher, I'm very critical of the education that my children will receive. Here at Early Steps Montessori Academy, they have exceeded my expectations. The staff creates a family- oriented, fun-loving, child-focused environment. My children feel loved and safe here, which allow them to thrive and achieve academically & socially. I have seen tremendous growth in the last two years with both of my children. They have gained a phenomenal education as well as the confidence to do things independently. Absolutely the best preschool in the Citrus Park area!

Early Steps Montessori Academy is a wonderful educational experience. Ms. Isabel, Ms.Michelle and their whole ESMA crew are amazing with the children. An authentic Montessori environment that is beautiful and inviting for all. ESMA allowed my children to discover their inner potential-Forever grateful!

Early Steps Montessori is not just a school but an important part of our family. My nephew started when the school first opened and now my two boys have been there for years. ESMA takes a hands on approach to learning - these kids do not sit at a desk for hours on end. They create, experience, develop, and learn with an individualized lesson plan.  ESMA is the best investment I could have ever made for my boys.
