About licensed daycares in Brandon

Brandon is an unincorporated community in Hillsborough County, east of Tampa along the I-75 and Highway 60 corridor, and one of the largest suburban centers in the Tampa metro. The area has grown steadily around the Westfield Brandon mall, the AdventHealth Brandon hospital campus, and a wide corridor of retail, office, and light-industrial employment.

Neighborhoods include the older Brandon core, Valrico and Lithia to the east, and the newer developments in FishHawk Ranch to the south. Many families commute into Tampa, but a substantial share works locally in healthcare, retail, and construction. The licensed provider directory includes established accredited centers along Bloomingdale Avenue, faith-based programs across the older neighborhoods, and family day care homes throughout the residential streets.
