THE FLORIDA CENTER FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD

SPIRIT OF GIVING - December 2022

STRONG FOUNDATIONS NEED SUPPORT. That’s why The Florida Center for Early Childhood gives children and families the building blocks they need to provide a strong family foundation through developmental therapies, mental health counseling, parental support, and early childhood education. With 1 in 6 children suffering from a mental, behavioral or developmental disorder, The Florida Center provides prevention and early intervention services to more than 3,500 children and families, many who are at risk for academic, social and economic failure. Through the agency’s therapeutic services, children reach developmental milestones and parents receive the tools needed to nurture their child’s development. The Florida Center’s eight programs are nationally recognized with an overall success rate of 98%, demolishing generational cycles related to abuse and neglect, academic delay and mental health disorders that create added costs to society. You can help build up children and families in our community by donating today!
