A Place Where Your Child Feels Safe, Seen, and Ready to Learn

Moffitt Child Development Center has been a cornerstone of early education in Tampa for over 15 years. Located at 10950 McKinley Dr, our center was founded on a simple belief: every child deserves an environment that honors their individuality and fuels their natural curiosity.

Our team of dedicated educators brings both professional training and genuine warmth to everything they do. We design experiences that blend structured learning with open-ended exploration — because the best early development happens when children are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and discover joy in the process.

Programs Built Around Your Child's Stage of Growth

From their very first days to the years before kindergarten, we offer age-appropriate programs that challenge, support, and inspire.

Infants

6 weeks – 12 months

A gentle, nurturing space where babies build trust through responsive caregiving, sensory play, and one-on-one interaction in a calm setting.

Toddlers

1 – 2 years

Active exploration meets early language development. Toddlers engage in purposeful play, motor skill activities, and social discovery in a secure environment.

Preschool

3 – 5 years

Foundational learning through play-based curriculum — pre-literacy, numeracy, science exploration, and creative expression that prepares children for kindergarten and beyond.

School-Age

6 – 12 years

After-school enrichment that builds independence, social skills, and academic confidence through structured activities, homework support, and creative projects.
