Free and funded programs

Accepts School Readiness (child care financial assistance; a family copay may apply)
Florida DCF / Division of Early Learning (CARES provider search), as of Sep 2026.

Taking part in a program does not mean a place is open. Call the provider to ask about current availability.

School Readiness: who qualifies and how to apply
Who qualifies: Enrolment follows a statutory priority order rather than a single income cut-off. The highest priorities are children under 13 in families receiving temporary cash assistance subject to federal work requirements, and at-risk children younger than 9. Children from birth to kindergarten age in an economically disadvantaged working family come next. 'Economically disadvantaged' means a family income that does not exceed 55 percent of the state median income.
Cost: This is a subsidy, not a free programme. Coalitions must implement a parent sliding fee scale that increases in relation to family income. Coalitions may waive the copayment for at-risk children and in defined hardship circumstances, including homelessness and while a parent takes part in a Head Start or Early Head Start programme.
Places: School readiness is not an entitlement. Coalitions enrol eligible children contingent upon the availability of funds, and if funding becomes insufficient children are disenrolled in reverse priority order.
How to apply: Apply online through the Early Learning Family Portal, the same state entry point used for VPK. Applicants in Lake County are directed to a separate application system. Apply with Early learning coalitions, under rules set by the State Board of Education (opens in new tab)

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I was so scared to put my very first baby into daycare but I definitely got beyond lucky when it came to Mrs.Shepherd. It’s literally like having a built in grandma and teacher in one incredible provider. My daughter has blossomed and learned soooo much while she’s there. Today is actually her last day due to us moving and I’m an emotional wreck because we will miss her so very much. Her daycare is always clean, loving, and the food she makes our babies is top notch. Her learning schedules are incredible. If you want to give your child the absolute best start in life and have piece of mind while you have to work RUN don’t walk to Shepherd Family Daycare. You won’t regret it for a single second.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months


At the time of payment I was informed of an extra fee to pay by card and not cash, something that I was never informed before the enrollment of my children, the temperament of the teacher and owner of the center was not according to the type of Work, the cleanliness of the place was not always the best and having pets in the house the smell was not very pleasant

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?
