What is Mother's Day Out?
A part-time program, often run by a church, where children come one to three days a week for a few hours. Many church preschools offer it alongside their weekday classes; ask which days and hours are open.
Are church daycares licensed in Florida?
Every listing here that comes from the Florida license records holds a state license, and its page shows it. Some states let church programs run without a child care license, and those may not appear here; ask a program whether it is licensed.
