BUILD BRIDGES TO SUCCESS

At Children's Home Society of Florida (CHS), we believe the earliest years of life hold the greatest opportunity to shape a child's future.

As an Infant Toddler Development Specialist
, you'll help infants and toddlers reach critical developmental milestones while empowering families with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to help their children thrive. Through developmental assessments, individualized intervention plans, family coaching, and community collaboration, you'll play a key role in improving outcomes for children during the most important years of development.
