Questions parents ask about Faith Outreach Academy

Is Faith Outreach Academy a licensed child care provider in Florida?

No. The Florida Department of Children and Families lists Faith Outreach Academy 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 X13HI0045, 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 Faith Outreach Academy offer free VPK?

Yes. Faith Outreach Academy 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.

Does Faith Outreach Academy accept School Readiness subsidies?

Yes. The DCF record shows Faith Outreach Academy 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 Faith Outreach Academy's hours?

Weekday hours listed on its Google business profile are 7 AM–6 PM. Listings change, so call ahead to confirm.

How many children can Faith Outreach Academy care for?

Faith Outreach Academy is licensed for up to 20 children. Licensed capacity is a legal maximum, not current availability or enrollment.

Has Faith Outreach Academy had any licensing violations?

Florida DCF has recorded 8 inspections at Faith Outreach Academy, 6 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.
