Teachers, parents, children, community leaders and business partners celebrated the relocated UCP of Central Florida campus in Winter Garden on Wednesday, May 1st. The new campus located at 1297 Winter Garden Vineland Road, Winter Garden, relocated to allow for more children to receive services.

Our new campus allows us to increase the number of children we can serve in West Orange County,” said Dr. Ilene Wilkins, CEO/President of UCP of Central Florida. “The vision of this new location was only made possible with the support of so many community partners who graciously joined us for the Grand Opening Ceremony.”
