The Florida Center for Early Childhood Inc.

Building Strong Families, One Child at a Time.

The Florida Center for Early Childhood has been a leading provider of therapeutic services, early education, and healthy development for children in southwest Florida. Its programs focus on infants and children through fifth grade who are at-risk academically, socially, or economically. The Florida Center provides developmental therapies, mental health counseling, and the Starfish Academy preschool in Sarasota and North Port. The organization also offers Healthy Families, a home-visiting program for new parents who need assistance. The state’s only Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders clinic at the Sarasota campus offers evaluations for individuals of all ages who may have had prenatal exposure to alcohol. As needs continue to grow, The Florida Center is committed to helping local children and families overcome their challenges and reach their full potential.
