Daniel Breaks Ground on New Cottage

Daniel – Florida’s longest-running child-serving agency – is expanding its on-campus facilities with the addition of a new residential cottage for children experiencing emotional and behavioral problems.

Daniel held a groundbreaking for the cottage on Wednesday, March 11. Once completed, the 6,325-square-foot house will serve as a safe, stable environment for up to 12 children.

Daniel President and CEO Lesley Wells celebrated the groundbreaking alongside donors and board members, including Chairman Judge Timothy Corrigan.

“The children we serve deserve updated spaces where they can feel safe, cared for and ready to heal,” said Wells. “When we can provide them with a modern, uplifting environment, it makes all the difference in their journey toward recovery and stability.”

The development team on this project includes ShayCore and PQH Group Design. Daniel anticipates a fall move-in date for this new living space.
