🌱✨ Big news, friends… WE ARE NOW ENROLLING for the 2026–2027 school year!! ✨🌱

At Creative Play, learning looks a little different (and a lot more magical 💛). Our farm and garden school invites children ages 3–4 through Kindergarten to grow, explore, and thrive—starting with what matters most: social-emotional learning.

Before academics, we nurture kind hearts, confident voices, and curious minds 🌼 From digging in the garden to connecting with nature and each other, our days are filled with hands-on experiences that help children build real-life skills in a joyful, supportive environment.

🌿 Limited openings available!
🐓 Nature-based, play-centered learning
💛 Social-emotional growth comes first

Want to see it for yourself? Come tour our beautiful farm and garden campus! Just fill out the contact form on our website and we’ll be in touch:

🌿 Your yard can help protect Tampa Bay...and you don’t need to be a scientist to make it happen. 🌿

Join The Urban Harvest LLC at Creative Play's campus for a free, hands-on workshop series that shows you how everyday landscapes can become powerful tools for cleaner water, healthier soil, and a stronger local ecosystem.

We’ll walk the grounds of a newly installed rain garden and break down exactly how nature already knows how to filter water.

We don’t have many, but we have a few…

🤔 Do you happen to know someone who is looking for a Preschool for their 3 or 4-year-old? Or, maybe you know someone who is not happy with their child's current elementary school now that school has started. 🏫 We do still have a couple of spots open for new enrollment for Preschool, as well as in Kindergarten and 1st Grade, and we're ready to schedule some tours of our campus for new parents! Come see what makes our farm and garden school so special! 🐣🪱🦋🐞🐓🐇🌳🌿🪴

Let us keep reminding each other to breathe, to smile, to treat ourselves and one another with kindness.

Let us hold each other when we need support, and let us challenge and remind each other of what is truly important.

Let us take care of ourselves so that we don’t hand down our unfinished business to the next generation.

Let us laugh together, and never lose our joy, and let us take care of the children — our children, all the children.

Let us mobilize our fierce and passionate mother energy on behalf of all beings on this little blue-green planet we call Mother Earth.
