YWCA South Florida's Court Care & KidSpace Offer Support with Free Child Care During Court

YWCA South Florida’s Court Care & KidSpace provide free onsite child-care nurturing environments while their parent or legal guardian attend a virtual or onsite domestic violence, family, civil, and criminal-related court proceeding or filing.

Our trained, qualified YWCA staff supervise children ages 6 months to 13 years old, thanks to a partnership between the YWCA South Florida Inc. and the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida and Broward County.
