Do you need childcare for spring break or summer? KidsPark Tampa (located just off of S.R. 56, east of I-75, in Wesley Chapel) offers camps with a variety of fun activities.

What makes KidsPark different from other childcare options is that it offers no-reservation, drop-in care for kids ages 2 through 12. You pay only for the hours and days you need.

Spring Break camp will be held March 19-23, with a different theme every day, including a Disney day with a visit from Mickey and Minnie, a science day, art day, carnival and field day.

Summer camps are held every week throughout the two-month break, with crafts, games, outdoor water activities, bounce houses and more. There’s no need to register in advance or commit to an entire day or week — just drop in whenever you need care or your kids want to play!

KidsPark is a national franchise, with just three locations in Florida (two are in Jacksonville). There will soon be four, however, as KidsPark Tampa owner Amanda Justus says she will open a new KidsPark center near Westfield Brandon Mall in July.

Families who register at any KidsPark location can use all KidsPark facilities, so kids can use the new center (or any Kids Park across the country when they travel) by just paying a low hourly rate, with no additional registration fee.

“We try to make it so everyone can afford child care,” Amanda says. The hourly rate is just $8 for one child, or $12.25 for two siblings. Additional siblings are $3.25 per hour. A “preferred customer rate” is available for anyone who pre-pays $100 or more, and a “day rate” is offered for kids who stay more than seven hours.

Amanda also offers discounts to hospital employees and to anyone in the military.

KidsPark offers both Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) for four year olds and preschool for ages two and three. Birthday and other private parties are available on Sundays, before and after KidsPark is open to the public.

KidsPark Tampa is located at 26240 Golden Maple Loop, just south of S.R. 56 (and just east of I-75). The center is open Monday–Thursday, 7 a.m.–10 p.m., 7 a.m.–midnight on Friday, 10 a.m.–midnight on Saturday, and 1 p.m.–6 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, call (813) 803-4972, visit KidsPark.com, and mention this story for half off of the one-time registration fee, which usually costs $25.
