Together, KID and FCI deliver a continuum of care that strengthens and stabilizes families while helping children reach their full potential. KID offers a well-integrated system of care staffed with clinical professionals who tenaciously strive to encourage, educate, empower, and equip children and families with the proper tools to ensure a safe and strong community. By advancing critical and clinical care to at-risk children and families in need, KID is known as the premier provider of child and family services in South Florida, and along with FCI serves more than 20,000 children and families annually.
