State and national organizations rely on RCMA’s expertise in delivering health and education services to children in rural areas, especially where bilingual communication is required.

RCMA representatives have testified before congressional and state legislative committees, served on farmworker advisory panels and joined health and education advocacy groups. Our views and comments are often sought by the news media.

Serving Florida farm families since 1965, RCMA today is the largest non-profit child-care provider in Florida, serving nearly 8,000 children in 21 counties.
