OUR CAUSE
Youth Village, Inc is a 501c3 non-profit child care center located in Fort Walton Beach for children ages 3 – 14. It was formed in 1999 to create a safe place to provide various educational and recreational services to children in our community. We are more than just a daycare center. We are now a preschool for children ages 3 – 5, a before and after school program for children in grades Kindergarten to 8th grade, and summer program. Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment with supportive mentors, teachers and other caring adults to help our children acquire a love of learning and create a desire to achieve.
TESTIMONIALS
“We appreciate our youth village family and I hope you know what a great resource you are for our community! There is nothing else like it that exists. Makes what you do all the more special!!! It’s nice to have something so unique for our kids to attend instead of your typical “run of the mill” aftercare.”

“I go to Youth Village. It is very fun there. We have visitors at Youth Village who help us learn. Mr. Ronnie takes us on field trips and brings bubble mix for us to play with. Mr. Ronnie also takes us outside to play. I like Youth Village.”

“I’ve just clicked the link you sent and felt countless prayers answered! In this moment, it is laid on my heart to praise Him in all we do and the blessings He provides. You and your team at Youth Village are a blessing. I know my phone call did not initiate this option for your center, as you stated the conversation and ideas were already being discussed earlier in the week. I am so happy to be a part of this new endeavor though, and already feel peace cocooning my heart and mind. Thank you for this email, and for giving families in situations like mine, a chance to have an alternative. `Blessings~“
