Childhood Development Services is a nonprofit agency that strives to offer comprehensive quality services to children and support families and staff toward personal growth and self-sufficiency.  

We are a full-service resource for families with children from age birth through twelve years old.  To meet the needs of families, we take a holistic approach through childcare provider and family support, family education, and the development of quality child care.

  • Pre-school Head Start
  • Early Head Start
  • Resource and Referral
  • Subsidized Child Care
  • Child Care Training
  • Child Care Food Program

These programs include the federally funded Head Start program, Early Head Start program for children under age three, Parent and Provider Services, School Readiness Subsidy Child Care, Child Care Training, Child Care Food Program, USDA Food Program, and Florida KidCare, which offers health insurance for uninsured children from birth through age 18 with eligibility based on family size and income. 

The agency reflects integrity, honesty, fairness, and a professional image through strong community visibility. The agency provides a safe and stimulating environment for children, families and staff. The agency collaborates with community partners to provide an environment which fosters school readiness through quality early childhood programs and family participation.
