For more than 47 years, Florence Fuller Child Development Centers (FFCDC) has provided children a pathway out of poverty, inspiring them to make local and global differences through the use of their education.
Today we have grown from 22 children to serving more than 800 children a year across two campuses in both east and west Boca Raton. Our purpose is to make a positive difference in the lives of children from economically challenged families with the goal of preparing children for a lifetime commitment to learning while empowering their families to build a brighter future. Our objective is to improve a student’s academic performance to increase the rate of school promotions to the next grade level.
Florence Fuller Child Development Centers is dedicated to helping economically disadvantaged children realize their full potential both socially and academically, by giving them the tools and skills they need to start school on par with their more affluent peers. We believe every child should have the chance to learn, grow, and experience success in school and life, regardless of their ability to pay.
