Safe And Sound Learning Center LLC at 8516 Ridein Rd in south Tampa is the standout center in this capacity range, holding an APPLE Gold Seal accreditation (active August 2024 through August 2027) — the only Gold Seal center in this batch. It also carries an active School Readiness contract and is a VPK provider, making it ELC voucher-eligible. The program offers full day care, infant care, and food service within a very small licensed capacity of 20. Its inspection record is strong, with the last three inspections (2022, 2024, 2025) all resulting in no violations. No Google or Yelp ratings are on record from direct platform pages, and no website was found. Families should anticipate high demand for this limited-capacity, accredited center.
