Original Research by School Decision on Easter Seals Child Development Center Daytona Beach
Easter Seals Child Development Center Daytona Beach was a special education school that served early childhood, operating under a charter arrangement within the Volusia County school system. The NCES data marks it as closed, so families searching for this program today will need to look elsewhere for comparable services. It was located on Dunn Avenue in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Because the school served only the earliest grade band and because it is now closed, the standard measures that apply to K-12 schools do not apply here. State assessment results, graduation rates, and most demographic data are absent from the record entirely, and in a school of this type and age range they would not have been collected in the first place. Enrollment figures, staffing information, and program detail were not available in the data we reviewed.
For families who were served by this program or are looking for equivalent early childhood special education services in the area, the Volusia County Schools district would be the right starting point. We looked for information on district-level changes or current program offerings through Volusia but the search did not turn up confirmed details, so we left that out rather than speculate.
The surrounding community is Daytona Beach, a coastal city in Volusia County with a mixed economy built around tourism, healthcare, insurance, and higher education, with major employers including Halifax Health, AdventHealth, Brown and Brown Insurance, and several universities. The city has seen a period of active residential growth, concentrated along certain corridors, that has recently moderated. Home values in the zip code sit meaningfully below the Florida statewide median, and rents have edged upward recently. The downtown area along the Halifax River and the beachfront district offer walkable pockets, though much of the city requires a car for daily errands.
For anyone specifically seeking early childhood special education services in Daytona Beach today, contacting Volusia County Schools directly would be the clearest path to understanding what programs are currently available and where.
