About Us

Our Mission: To create opportunity so that the children we serve can achieve their full potential.

Episcopal Children's Services helps underserved children in Northeast and Central Florida build a strong foundation for educational success. Working with children from birth to age 5 - the most critical years for cognitive development - ECS's dedicated teachers and staff use curriculums based on the latest research and best practices to help families ensure their youngsters enter school ready to learn. A recognized leader in early childhood education for more than 50 years, ECS serves over 27,000 children and their families in 14 counties: Baker, Bradford, Clay, Duval, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns, Alachua, Marion, Lake, Citrus, Gilchrist, Dixie and Levy. We believe that educating a child not only improves their odds for success but also strengthens the entire community.
