The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County (DOH-Palm Beach), in partnership with the Early Learning Coalition (ELC) of Palm Beach County, is working to relocate at least 76 displaced children from Child Enrichment Academy of Loxahatchee, Inc., located at 14563 Okeechobee Blvd., Loxahatchee, FL 33470.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue posted a cease and desist letter on Thursday, August 7, 2025, citing an imminent danger to life and safety for failing to maintain fire watch as ordered, as well as falsifying fire inspection records. DOH-Palm Beach, as the licensing agency, is investigating and taking action related to the licensure of the facility.
The ELC has reached out to affected families to aid in relocating children who have been displaced from this facility to ensure as minimal disruption in services as possible.
DOH-Palm Beach cannot comment on ongoing regulatory investigations. The Department continues to prioritize the health and well-being of Florida’s children.
Parents needing further assistance can contact the ELC at 561-573-8217.
