The Power of Outdoor Play: How Our 2-Acre Campus Inspires Young Explorers
Outdoor Learning
When you think about what makes a great daycare, classrooms and curriculum probably come to mind first. But some of the most important learning your child will ever do happens outside — running through open grass, digging in dirt, watching a butterfly land on a flower, or simply feeling the sun on their face. Outdoor play isn't just recess. It's a powerful form of learning that builds your child's body, brain, and confidence in ways that indoor activities alone cannot.
At Little Einsteins Academy of Tampa, outdoor play is a core part of every child's day — and our 2-acre campus gives children something most daycares in Tampa simply can't offer: real space to explore.

What 2 Acres of Space Means for Your Child
Most daycares in Tampa operate on small lots with limited outdoor areas — sometimes just a narrow fenced strip with a single play structure. At Little Einsteins Academy, our campus is different.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Play at LEAO
It varies by age group and weather, but most children have at least two outdoor sessions per day — typically a longer morning session and a shorter afternoon session. We prioritize outdoor time as an essential part of the daily schedule, not a bonus.
Yes. Our entire 2-acre campus is fully fenced with a secure perimeter. Outdoor play zones are age-separated so younger children are never on equipment designed for older kids. Teachers are present and actively supervising at all times.
Florida weather is part of our planning. On hot days, we use shaded areas, move outdoor time to cooler morning hours, and add water play. On rainy days, we bring nature-inspired activities indoors — sensory bins, indoor obstacle courses, and nature-themed art projects.
Yes. Our youngest learners enjoy outdoor time in shaded, protected areas. They experience the fresh air, feel grass and natural textures, and begin developing a connection to the outdoors from their very first months at LEAO.
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Our campus tour includes the full outdoor environment so you can see the playground, garden beds, open fields, and how our teachers use each space during the day.
