EARLY LEARNING SERVICES
Welcome to the Office of Early Learning in the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation. The Early Learning program increases children's chances of achieving the educational levels that help them become productive members of society.
Florida welcomes nearly 600 newborns every day and is home to more than one million children younger than five. Of these, approximately 600,000 attend some type of early learning program. With so many of our children in care, quality early learning options are a high priority because children are counting on us to make sure they have every advantage and opportunity available for success in school and in life.
The below menu provides access to early learning services provided through the Agency for Workforce Innovation. If you have questions regarding the information provided to you through this website, please contact us.
