The City of Miami Department of Parks and Recreation operates five childcare centers. The centers do not simply offer baby-sitting services, but a comprehensive educational environment designed to stimulate the intellectual curiosity of 2 to 5 year olds.
The administrative body of the program consists of the Day Care Administration, Center Supervisors and representatives in the categories of community people, parents and staff. The committee meets whenever necessary to review the centers and their policies.
Operation of the childcare program is funded by a grant from the State of Florida's Department of Health, the USDA Food Program, and the City of Miami General Fund, from tuition fees and Miami-Dade County Title XX.
Parents are assessed a fee based on a sliding scale, according to a financial statement submitted at the time of registration, and later verified through written contact with the parents, employer or school. Parents can enroll their children through subsidized funding depending on if they qualify through Children and Families Service guidelines.
