FFCDC’s high-quality early education programs fill a niche for economically struggling parents who have limited options for making the most of their children’s immense learning potential while giving them a foundation for success in school and in life.  For all children, innovative socio-educational experiences improve academics and language, as well as help them become more emotionally adjusted.  For less fortunate kids, programs like those provided by FFCDC have been shown to provide significant differences in their lives, not just while in school but for decades later.

Studies* have shown that children who attend a high quality preschool:

• - Spend 1.3 fewer years in special education classes.
• - Are twice as likely to have positive relationships with their families.
• - Have a 44% higher high school graduation rate.
• - Produce 50% fewer teen pregnancies.
• - Are 46% less likely to serve time in prison.

By providing excellence in education, a nurturing and caring staff, and an environment conducive to learning by discovery and creativity, our children are confidently prepared for a lifetime of positive learning.   Since 1971, we have provided thousands of children in our community a chance to turn their dreams into realities.
At Florence Fuller Child Development Centers, we guide our children on a journey in their early years that paves the pathway for them to become responsible, good citizens and an asset to the community and the world.

“We know, without a doubt, that we are changing the world, one child at a time.”
