Questions parents ask about Learn and Smile
Is Learn and Smile a licensed child care provider in Florida?
- No. The Florida Department of Children and Families lists Learn and Smile as "Substantial Compliance", which means it operates without a DCF child care licence rather than under one. Exempt providers remain on the DCF public record under record number S17BO0059, and Florida still requires background screening of their staff, but they are not licensed and are not inspected on the same schedule. Confirm current standing with DCF before enrolling.
Is Learn and Smile a Gold Seal provider?
- Yes. Learn and Smile holds Florida's Gold Seal Quality Care designation, which requires accreditation by a DCF-approved accrediting association in good standing.
Does Learn and Smile accept School Readiness subsidies?
- Yes. The DCF record shows Learn and Smile participates in Florida's School Readiness program, so families approved for child care assistance through their local Early Learning Coalition may be able to use it here.
What are Learn and Smile's hours?
- Weekday hours listed on its Google business profile are 8 AM–4 PM. Listings change, so call ahead to confirm.
How many children can Learn and Smile care for?
- Learn and Smile is licensed for up to 100 children. Licensed capacity is a legal maximum, not current availability or enrollment.
Has Learn and Smile had any licensing violations?
- Florida DCF has recorded 10 inspections at Learn and Smile, 3 of which recorded at least one finding. Reports are published by the state and summarized as reported; a finding is a cited standard, not a judgment of overall quality.
