Our Mission Building strong families … one child at a time Our Vision We envision a time when every child will be loved, nourished, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Our Agency Impact Statement The Florida Center for Early Childhood provides prevention and early intervention services to young children and their families at risk for academic, social, and economic failure. These critical services and support allow our young children to achieve developmentally appropriate milestones and give parents the support and knowledge needed to nurture their child’s development; thus decreasing risk factors related to child abuse and neglect, academic and developmental delay, and behavioral and mental health disorders that create added costs to society. Our Funding Sources Early Learning Coalition of Sarasota County Sarasota County, The Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida Florida Department of Health, United Way of Sarasota County, Sarasota County School Board, Florida Department of Children and Families, and generous donors like you!
