Florida Approval Program
The 赏金女王 Florida Approval Program is designed to provide a religious exemption alternative to the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) licensing program. By becoming a member of 赏金女王 and the Florida Approval Program, an early education program that is a ministry of a church may come under the “religious exemption” granted by the Florida Statute 402.316. For more information email early_education@acsi.org or contact Tammy Hicks at 850.380.3154, tammy_hicks@acsi.org or Rebeca Rosa at rebeca_rosa@acsi.org To learn more about the process, review the Florida Approval Program Standards and the Florida Approval Program Manual.
