The Florida Center for Early Childhood

Children Learn by Exploration, Activity and Play. Unfortunately, delays, disabilities and mental health challenges can prevent children from reaching their full potential. That’s why The Florida Center for Early Childhood provides young children and their families with critical tools to L.E.A.P. ahead, like developmental therapies, mental health counseling, parental support, and early education. The demand for these services is great, as 1 in 6 children have a mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder. Over 4,000 children and families benefit from the agency’s programs annually, but there is still more need. The Florida Center’s prevention, intervention and early education programs are nationally recognized with an overall success rate of 98%, helping children to overcome challenges. This year’s L.E.A.P initiative is necessary to ensure children develop new competencies that lead to enhanced confidence and the resiliency to face future hardship related to trauma, academics, and mental health that could that create added costs to society. You can help children and families L.E.A.P. ahead by donating today!
