KID is a nationally accredited agency dedicated to the prevention of child abuse, the preservation of the family, and the treatment of abused and neglected children.  Founded in 1979, KID started as a shelter for abused and neglected children.  During its 43 operational years, KID has grown to include two campuses in Broward County, and a foster care office in Palm Beach County. In 2019, KID acquired Family Central, Inc. (FCI) which provides comprehensive family strengthening, early learning, a child care food program, and educational training services in South Florida. 

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 now serves more than 20,000 children and families annually.  KID employees enrich the South Florida community through foster care recruitment/training/support, kinship support, early childhood education/preschool, aftercare/summer camp, adoption support, reunification services, family strengthening, maternal health, a family counseling center, and pediatric dental services in partnership with Nova Southeastern University.
