About the Center for Family and Child Enrichment, Inc.

The Center for Family and Child Enrichment has been enriching the lives of children and families for over thirty years. During this time, we have calmed the fears of children who were alone and placed them in loving homes; and counseled and guided troubled families to become better parents and keep their children out of state care. With a competent and committed staff, our doors have always been open to families and children in need, no matter how challenging the problems.

What do we do and how do we do it? The Center for Family and Child Enrichment is a private, nonprofit, community-based organization that serves children in foster care who have been abused, neglected and/or abandoned; children with severe emotional disturbances and in need of mental health care; children in the custody of parents or relatives who are chronic runaways and/or are ungovernable; and children who come to this country without parents or guardians (unaccompanied minors). Our mission is to enrich, strengthen, preserve, restore, and empower children and families in a culturally diverse community.

Each year, our services touch the lives of over 3,000 children and families throughout Miami-Dade County. We contract with the lead agency for community-based care to provide foster care and related services to nearly 1,000 children, including adoptions, residential group care, in-home family counseling, and a variety of other services designed to achieve permanency for these children. We offer a wide array of behavioral health services for children and adolescents.

The Center for Family and Child Enrichment is committed to making a difference in the life of a child. We do this through three primary focus areas: counseling and therapy services; foster care and adoptions; and family and community support programs. We invite you to explore each of these areas with us.
