ACADEMICS / CHILD CARE

The Florida Department of Children and Family Life offers an online search for licensed day care by county. YMCAs and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America also provide day care opportunities in many locations throughout Central Florida. The Florida Children’s Forum is an advocate for quality child care, early education, and work/family solutions. The Forum serves as the hub for the Child Care Resource & Referral network, with local agencies that offer complete databases and assist with critical issues of availability, affordability, and quality. The Florida Children’s Forum can advise you of the nearest CCR&R:
