Program Description:
The campus currently provides a variety of holistic services to a diverse group of children ranging from ages 6-17 in fifteen cottage settings. We utilize a house parent model in the residential group setting. The residents and house parents share meals together which are prepared in the cottage, and are enjoyed in a family- style setting. A qualified dietician prepares the meal plans and the house parents pick up the groceries from our commissary, which is located on campus. The campus programs within residential care include: admissions, education, recreation, clinical services, and health services. Two of the thirteen cottages provide emergency crisis intervention/stabilization and specialized therapeutic group care services.
Program Long-Term Success:

The Children’s Home ability to serve these children is best met through established satellite service locations in underserved communities.

Program Description:
It was one of the pioneer day care/early childhood educational programs in the county. It has licensed capacity of 96 children. Children who are age six weeks to 5 years are cared for on a full-day or part-day basis. We continue to strive to achieve the highest standards of practice and currently hold two accreditations; COA (Council On Accreditation), APPLE (Accredited Professional Preschool Learning Environments) and Gold Seal the highest recognition from the Florida Department of Children and Families.
For many children the Florida United Methodist Children's Home’s Childcare Center, In As Much, will be their first of many steps on the road toward independence, their first experience with the world outside their home and family. This first step is very exciting, and a time of transition for children and parents alike. At the Florida United Methodist Children's Home’s Child Care Center we help encourage each child’s natural tendency toward growth, while at the same time, understanding their need for safety and security.
Program Long-Term Success:
Preschool meets annual APPLE accreditation, meets quarterly monitoring by licensing entity.
