About Us
Le Jardin Community Center, Inc. is a nonprofit agency founded in 1987. Le Jardin has over 28 years of experience in providing childcare services to the southern regions of Miami-Dade County. When the agency began, we only served 20 children, currently we serve over 600 children annually from birth to five years of age in Homestead and Florida City. In addition to providing exceptional education to the children, we provide comprehensive services to the parents, such as case management, parental training, health services, and nutritional training. Our family workers assist the families by making referrals to educational, vocational, employment, housing, medical, dental and transportation providers. Le Jardin Community Center, Inc. also provides supplemental services to promote and support family and child health, and special education services to children with disabilities.
The mission of Le Jardin is to improve the quality of life for children and families in our local communities. We provide comprehensive, high-quality educational, recreational and cultural activities in a safe, caring and nurturing environment. A strong curriculum is used to develop social and cognitive skills, as well as to promote self-esteem, self-awareness and ethnic pride. Le Jardin fosters a developmental foundation that enhances the transition into the elementary school system.
