Child Care of Southwest Florida accepting summer registrations at learning centers in Lee County

FORT MYERS, Fla. - EntSun -- Child Care of Southwest Florida is accepting new student registrations for the summer term at three of its early learning centers in Fort Myers.

Child Care of Southwest Florida provides early learning education to more than 350 children across Lee and Hendry counties. The organization accepts children ages 6 weeks through 8 years old, including students enrolled in Florida's Volunteer Prekindergarten (VPK) program. VPK is a state-funded, high-quality early childhood education program that helps students develop a strong academic, social and behavioral foundation prior to entering school.

"The summer and spring terms are crucial for 4- and 5-year-olds who will be entering kindergarten next fall," said Chris Hansen, CEO of Child Care of Southwest Florida. "Our centers provide children a safe, nurturing environment to foster development and success in their future learning. VPK can ensure students start school on the right foot, and there is still space available at three of our high-quality learning centers."

Nutritious meals and snacks are included at no additional charge through Child Care of Southwest Florida's participation in the USDA's Child Food Care Program. The three locations accepting new student registrations include:

• P.A. Geraci Child Development Center (3713 Canal St. in Fort Myers): 239-337-4995
• The Children's Learning Center (37 Barkley Circle in Fort Myers): 239-267-1136
• Joseph H. Messina Children's Center (4650 Fowler St. in Fort Myers): 239-278-1148

Child Care of Southwest Florida follows the nationally recognized, research-based Creative Curriculum for preschool, which builds a safe, supportive learning environment that develops young minds, strengthens the community and secures the future. Each early learning center is accredited through the National Accreditation Commission for Early Learning Leaders and is a Gold Seal Quality Care Program through the Florida Department of Children and Families. Additionally, centers maintain five-star ratings through the Early Learning Coalition of Southwest Florida.
