About licensed daycares in Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres is an unincorporated community in Lee County, east of Fort Myers, originally platted as a large-lot residential development in the 1950s and 1960s. Growth accelerated in the mid-2000s, slowed in the housing downturn, and has restarted sharply as Southwest Florida has expanded post-Hurricane Ian.
The community is laid out on an unusually wide grid of Boulevards, with older ranch homes across most of the interior blocks and newer construction filling in along the main corridors. Many families work in Fort Myers healthcare, in trades and construction, or in the surrounding agriculture. The licensed provider directory includes accredited centers along the main commercial corridors, faith-based programs, and a heavy share of family day care homes across the residential grid.
