The Florida Center for Early Childhood offers prevention and early intervention services to young children at risk of academic, social, and economic failure. Through therapeutic services, children reach necessary developmental milestones, and parents gain the support and knowledge to nurture their development. This model reduces risks related to child abuse, academic delays, and behavioral and mental health issues, ultimately lowering societal costs.

• The Florida Center is the leading provider of therapeutic services and early childhood education for Southwest Florida.

• We serve children from birth through fifth grade with eight programs that provide them with tools and resources needed to succeed.

• The Florida Center operates the only Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Diagnostic Clinic in Florida, with locations in Sarasota and Orlando.

• Our Starfish Academy offers inclusive classrooms where typically developing children learn alongside those with delays, disabilities, or mental health challenges.
