The CHILD Center is an innovative and collaborative partnership with O2B Kids, the Southwest Advocacy Group (SWAG), University of Florida's Anita Zucker Center for Excellence in Early Childhood Studies, the Early Learning Coalition of Alachua County and the Children’s Trust of Alachua County.

The CHILD Center works to bring the collective experience and expertise of several different organizations together to give children, families and child care professionals the best possible experience. This center provides high-quality early learning for children ages 6-weeks to 5-years old. It also serves as a model demonstration center where teachers, researchers and policymakers can come to study and learn best practices in early childhood care & education, professional preparation and innovative models for translating research findings to practice.

Our school prioritizes your child's educational experience! Each of our classrooms is generously sized and fully equipped. Our centers are meticulously crafted to provide your child with all the tools necessary for play-based learning.

At O2B Kids, your child's education goes beyond the alphabet and numbers. Our skilled educators foster holistic development, empowering children with critical thinking skills and autonomy.

We understand your child's immense value, which is why we prioritize their safety from the moment they step onto our premises. This commitment encompasses stringent security measures, including a reliable check-in/check-out system, teacher background checks, CPR and first aid certification, and frequent classroom sanitization throughout the day.

Interaction plays a crucial role in our program, focusing on teamwork, effective communication, and emotional awareness through engaging play and group tasks. Within our inclusive setting, we prioritize fostering enduring bonds between both students and educators.
