The Developmental Learning Center (DLC) is a comprehensive, inclusive early learning and care center serving children with developmental disabilities and medical complexities across Northeast Florida.

DLC offers childcare, preschool, VPK, early intervention, PPEC services, extended day programs, summer care, and after-school programs, along with on-site nursing care and therapy services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy. We also provide developmental screenings and maintain low adult-to-child ratios, allowing for small-group instruction and individualized attention tailored to each child’s unique goals.

Our classrooms serve infants as young as six weeks through five-year-olds, including VPK for four-year-olds, and our after-school and summer programs support children and young adults up to 22 years of age.

DLC proudly serves children with a wide range of diagnoses and medical needs, including Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, Spina Bifida, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Autism, developmental delays, Microcephaly, genetic and seizure disorders, Congenital Heart Defects, HIE, and children who require g-tubes, catheters, apnea monitors, and other specialized medical supports.

As an inclusive center, DLC also serves a limited number of typically developing children, creating a nurturing environment where all children learn, grow, and thrive together.
