| About us | For The Children was founded in 1999 by Reginale Durandisse and a group of concerned citizens who saw a need for educational, recreational, and family support services for children aged 3-18 in the area of Lake Worth, Florida. Since that time, the agency has become a safe haven and trusted resource for parents seeking a positive, nurturing environment free of violence, drugs and negative peer pressure. One of the first licensed programs by Children’s Service Council of Palm Beach County, For The Children is also designated as a “high quality program” by Prime Time of Palm Beach County, and has received the Nonprofits Excellence certification by Nonprofits First.We are a certified childcare provider and certified health educator.Our culturally sensitive programs and services appeal to the creative, academic, emotional and social minds of our children. They are designed to validate and empower students to succeed. Services like our English-language skill development for preschool children are critical for entry into kindergarten.In addition, academic tutoring, computer skills training, sports/physical activity, dance lessons, and gardening allow us to address a child’s development needs in a comprehensive way, while mentoring opportunities with older adults, business leaders, and peers provide opportunities for character development and leadership training.Plus, we promote parental involvement and offer parenting classes in multiple languages to ensure children have a solid network of support.The multicultural, multilingual staff at For The Children “speak the language,” which allows us to develop and maintain strong relationships with our families. Our teachers are certified and highly trained. We are passionate about our community and the work we do. |
