Great parents are built, not made.
Florida needs to support parents with the tools, services and resources they need to raise healthy, happy children. Whether that’s information on developmental milestones and early intervention, how to sign up for high-quality early learning opportunities, or what’s happening in our state Capitol that affects them, The Children’s Movement of Florida is here to help.
