ACADEMICS / CHILD CARE

Securing quality day care for younger and school age children is one of the foremost concerns for working parents and guardians. The Florida Children’s Forum is the primary statewide advocate for quality child care and work/family solutions, while the Child Care Resource & Referral Network or CCR&Rs provides a complete list of options in your area. YMCAs and the Boys & Girls Club of America also provide after-school care and youth programs in many locations.
