Questions parents ask about Central Avenue Elementary

Is Central Avenue Elementary a licensed child care provider in Florida?

No. The Florida Department of Children and Families lists Central Avenue Elementary 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 E09OS0025, 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 Central Avenue Elementary offer free VPK?

Yes. Central Avenue Elementary 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.

What are Central Avenue Elementary's hours?

Weekday hours listed on its Google business profile are 7:30 AM–4 PM. Listings change, so call ahead to confirm.

How many children can Central Avenue Elementary care for?

Central Avenue Elementary is licensed for up to 135 children. Licensed capacity is a legal maximum, not current availability or enrollment.

Has Central Avenue Elementary had any licensing violations?

Florida DCF has recorded 4 inspections at Central Avenue Elementary, 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.
