Quality School Readiness Child Care offers parents the opportunity to access affordable quality care, allowing them to work and contribute to the community knowing their children are safe and well cared for. Direct child care services are delivered through a comprehensive network of 272 contracted legal child care providers including licensed centers and family child care homes, registered family child care homes, school based programs, license-exempt programs, and informal child care throughout Volusia and Flagler Counties.

Voluntary PreK (VPK) FREE VPK is available to all Florida 4 year-olds and is designed to prepare children for kindergarten. VPK programs are available through approved VPK providers during either the school year or summer.

Child Screening & Assessment helps indentify children who may have special needs and helps parents address these needs early, giving children the best chance of success in school and life.

Family Support includes a variety of resources for families such as quarterly parent training, quarterly parent forums, access to parenting resources in our Dee Dee Sampson library and more.
