Questions parents ask about Guardian Catholic School

Is Guardian Catholic School a licensed child care provider in Florida?

No. The Florida Department of Children and Families lists Guardian Catholic School as "Exempt", 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 X04DU0097, 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.

Does Guardian Catholic School offer free VPK?

Yes. Guardian Catholic School is on record with Florida DCF as a Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) provider, so eligible 4-year-olds can attend the state-funded program here at no cost. Confirm current VPK enrollment with the provider.

Is Guardian Catholic School a Gold Seal provider?

Yes. Guardian Catholic School holds Florida's Gold Seal Quality Care designation, which requires accreditation by a DCF-approved accrediting association in good standing.

Does Guardian Catholic School accept School Readiness subsidies?

Yes. The DCF record shows Guardian Catholic School 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 Guardian Catholic School's hours?

Weekday hours listed on its Google business profile are 7 AM–3 PM. Listings change, so call ahead to confirm.

How many children can Guardian Catholic School care for?

Guardian Catholic School is licensed for up to 225 children. Licensed capacity is a legal maximum, not current availability or enrollment.

Has Guardian Catholic School had any licensing violations?

Florida DCF has recorded 5 inspections at Guardian Catholic School, 2 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.
