Daycare Info, Just Moved to FL

L. - Congrats on the big move! The 4C organization is really helpful - they're website is www.4cflorida.org/ and they should be able to help you with the guidelines for assistance. My daughter went to Cambridge Prep in Winter Springs although it wasn't reasonable...and I also heard good things about Star Child Academy in Oviedo. Also in FL we have voluntary pre-k (VPK) for four year olds and you can get free or subsidized pre-k so make sure you sign up.

Good Luck!

Good Morning,

If you are okay with in-home childcare, daycare or nannies, then try checking on www.craigslist.org - there is a wide selection of individuals posting for childcare. Or if you choose, you can post your own ad and let someone respond to your needs.
This was the only thing I could find on income guidelines regarding DCF (look all the way at the bottom of the screen) http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/ess/tanfweb.shtml, but I don't know if that will help you at all.
Good Luck,
J.

Hi L.,

I live in Geneva right near Oviedo and my son goes to Kids Together Oviedo. They are on 419 towards Chuluota.

There's also 2 off of Mitchell Hammock behind the McDonalds, Star Child and Child Time. Both are good as I checked into both for my son last year. However, he's 4 and Star Child does not offer the free VPK.

Kids Together is very structured and similar to elementary school. They also follow a curriculum.

There are also several off of Alafaya Woods Blvd. next to Publix and Blockbuster. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Even the cost is very close per week.

Good luck,
G.
