About the school

The most important time in your child’s development is birth through the age of five. The team at Thomas "Jet" Jackson Recreation Center in St. Petersburg strives to provide a fun, safe learning environment that fosters intellectual and social growth for these formative years. Educators at Thomas "Jet" Jackson Recreation Center create a warm, nurturing environment filled with tools that spark curiosity and support early learning growth and development. Thomas "Jet" Jackson Recreation Center has met the qualifications to become a licensed childcare provider in the state of Florida. To earn this certification, staff and teachers must have routines in place to provide a safe and nurturing environment, offer developmentally-appropriate play, and support student learning. Compared to much smaller schools, this center’s size typically allows for more options and availability of different learning environments, while also providing a wide variety of resources, books, toys, and other learning materials to enhance the educational experience.
