Early Learning Program

Finding reliable high-quality childcare that is also affordable is a rare combination. The unfortunate reality is that children who live in homes with insufficient financial resources start school at a disadvantage in terms of skills, behaviors, and health at higher rates than their more economically advantaged peers. Thus, our goal is to provide quality early education for under-resourced children so they enter Kindergarten ahead of, or academically competitive with their peers. This is important because a child’s earliest years of education are the most critical and have the highest impact on establishing success in life.

Our Early Learning program emphasizes meeting six developmental domains:

Toddler Program at Barbara D. Smith Building

Our Toddler program serving 12 months to 3 years, emphasizes meeting the basic acquisition of language, and social-emotional skills at the appropriate developmental milestones.

Available Monday through Friday 7:30 am to 5:30 pm at our Main Campus.

Apply Online for Child Care Assistance through School Readiness (SR) and Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) education

Florida’s School Readiness Program (SR) offers financial assistance to eligible low-income families for early education and care so they can become financially self-sufficient and their young children can be successful in school in the future. Services vary based on individual needs and range from extended day care to after-school and school-age care in some instances.

Florida’s Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK) is a free educational program that prepares 4-year-olds for kindergarten and beyond. Children must live in Florida and be 4 on or before September 1 of the school year they enroll. Parents of 4-year-olds with special needs have an option outside the classroom setting ‒ VPK Specialized Instructional Services (VPK-SIS).

Family Support

The comprehensive Family Support Program works collaboratively with youth programming by working with our parents to strengthen their knowledge, skills, and confidence. By engaging and educating our families, we assist them in strengthening their protective factors as well as increasing their knowledge of community resources.

Monthly workshops are offered at ACCF. Our workshops cover a variety of topics that increase our parents’ knowledge, skills, or capacity – all of which have been identified as important to the parents. Among the topics are: Financial Literacy, Parenting Best Practices, Behavioral Health, Drowning Prevention, and School Choice, to name a few.

We have a behavioral health component within the program that allows a Licensed Clinician to serve as crisis management support and provide behavior management strategies.
