EARLY LEARNING SERVICES

Coalitions

Florida’s early learning coalitions are tasked by the legislature to administer state and federal early education programs, and to comply with high standards for child safety and program content.

Our goal is to work hand-in-hand with coalition staff as they assist families in local areas.  Please visit our website regularly to keep up-to-date with training announcements, document revisions and other material/resources to assist you in providing quality services to families, and providers in your community. We provide technical assistance to early learning coalitions and contracted service providers through telephone consultations, e-mail, conference calls, the Child Care Resource & Referral Network website, mail-outs, regional/statewide trainings and on-site visits.

Office of Early Learning staff are available at 1-866-357-3239 toll-free or 850-921-3180.

If you have questions regarding the information provided to you through this website, please contact us.
